Description

In light of all the work that went into producing the the COVID-19 vaccine. Harini wanted to go back in time and take us back to the lovely, but slightly dirty 18th century to discuss the very FIRST vaccine ever created for eradicating smallpox! We're calling all milkmaids, surgeons, small children, and red cloth merchants for this episode.

Poisons, medical mysteries, political assassinations, healing rituals, environmental disasters, pandemics & more - nothing is off the lab table here. This is the science of storytelling at its finest.
