Vaccine!

 'When the vaccine in the vein' was the question that got countless likes and millions of 'thumbs up' just a few months ago. The drive for vaccination has slowed down a little now. Even when the problems of the pandemic are behind us in a way, vaccines would never vacate our mindscape.

Apparently,  Dr. Jenner created the world's first successful vaccine. He found out that people infected with cowpox were immune to smallpox. In May 1796, this English physician, Edward Jenner,  expanded on this discovery, and inoculated eight-year-old, James Phipps, with matter collected from a cowpox sore on the hand of a milkmaid, it seems.

These "do bund jindagi ke" have thereafter helped us eradicate polio, t.b., small pox in such a remarkable way that these diseases appear almost extinct. The vaccines, oral or injected, show how medical field can work wonders, can literally control death. Such creative intervention in the wicked spread of epidemics had a huge impact on the sociology, economics and psychology of the very mankind. 

The Corona  scare was horrible, but the vaccine proved the might of India. Sure there was lots of international politicking  involved. Since the vaccines themselves are so very positive, why end on such a negative note.Instead let us  see how Shakespeare would have reacted to the entire issue. Enjoy!Something to make us smile 😁😁
