SUMMARY:Poxvirus Research After Smallpox Eradication: New Findings With An Old Vaccine
DESCRIPTION:In 1980 smallpox was declared eradicated after a global vaccination campaign. Today\, only two labs in the world retain variola virus\, the cause of smallpox\, one in the USA and one in Russia – and the World Health Assembly has recommended these virus stocks be destroyed when essential research with variola virus is complete. \nProfessor Geoffrey L. Smith FRS\, winner of the 2020 Leeuwenhoek Medal\, will describe how smallpox was eradicated and what happened afterwards. Despite eradication\, research with vaccinia virus\, the smallpox vaccine\, has endured. This research has provided new ways to make vaccines\, and revealed how our cells respond to virus infection and how the virus escapes these defenses. \nAttending this event\nThis lecture was originally scheduled for March 2020 and has now been rescheduled to take place online. \nLearn more about the Poxvirus Research After Smallpox Eradication: New Findings With An Old Vaccine lecture at The Royal Society website.

SUMMARY:A Family Drama: The Sexual Politics of Smallpox Vaccination in the Spanish Empire
DESCRIPTION:The National Institutes of Health COVID-19 Scientific Interest Group will host a webcast entitled “A Family Drama: The Sexual Politics of Smallpox Vaccination in the Spanish Empire” on October 28\, 2021. \nIn 1804\, the Spanish Crown introduced the smallpox vaccine to its empire\, along with orders that vaccination be voluntary and that parents had a right to consent. Yet as families weighed the meaning of this decision\, doctors turned to the slave trade\, securing the vaccine and its future through bondage. \nAnalyzing this polemic and the politicization of preventative health\, my talk draws on collections of the NLM History of Medicine Division\, including institutional regulations and vaccination rosters from the Spanish Americas\, to trace the vaccine through the greater Caribbean and ask how and why colonial authorities selectively protected voluntary vaccination. \nForegrounding the methods by which the Spanish sought parental consent\, I examine the expectations about parenthood\, childrearing\, and the family that underscored their efforts\, demonstrating how long-standing investments in a patriarchal familial order were reanimated through the conservation and dissemination of the vaccine. In doing so\, the talk highlights the racial and sexual politics of vaccination and its contested relationship to slavery\, freedom\, and motherhood in the Atlantic World. \nAbout the Speaker \nFarren Yero\, PhD\, Postdoctoral Associate\, Gender\, Sexuality\, and Feminist Studies\, Duke University\, NIH \nPlease visit the NIH VideoCast website for more information.
