Through a collaborative worldwide effort, smallpox was technically eradicated by the second half of the 20th century. Smallpox was no joke; even if you managed to survive it, you'd most likely be stricken with sterility, blindness, or scars from the pimples, also known as pockmarks. On the plus side, you would be immune to recurrent smallpox infections, which, of course, is the principle behind vaccination. The history of smallpox is disturbing, to say the very least, with the terrible virus even deployed as a weapon against indigenous Americans. Curious about this now-eradicated disease? This is the messed-up history of smallpox.
