Vaccines aren’t necessarily the most pleasant thing to get from the hospital, but at least we are safe from viruses like the flu. Before vaccines many people had to suffer from painful diseases, that had no known cure.

If it wasn’t for Edward Jenner we would still be getting inoculated and the smallpox virus would still be around to this
