To defeat smallpox in South Asia, public health workers had to navigate the region’s layered cultural ideas about the virus. They also dreamed big. In Episode 1, host Céline Gounder wonders how the...
Soon after, when eradication workers came to town, young Bhadani remembered his friend, gritted his teeth, and agreed to get the painful vaccine. Bhadani showed @celinegounder the scars he still has from the vaccine.
One of his classmates died of smallpox. He was curious about what happened to his friend, so he went to see the body. The body was covered in blistering pustules, the skin not visible at all. Here's a picture showing what smallpox pustules look like. ⬇️
Today, it’s hard to even imagine what it was like to live in a world with smallpox, where you could catch a virus so deadly that it killed about 1 in 3 people. @celinegounder met up with someone who lived in those “before times,” when eradication was still a far-off dream.🧵
Dinesh Bhadani shared what it was like growing up in the 1960s in Gaya, a city in the state of Bihar. In the mid-’60s, the national campaign to eradicate smallpox in India was underway, but the virus was still widespread throughout the country.
Many in his community believed that smallpox was divine, sent by the Hindu goddess Shitala Mata, so they were hesitant to get vaccinated and interfere with the divine. Bhadani says diseases like smallpox weren’t just a matter of bad luck. To many, they were the will of the gods.
