Vaccine scepticism may seem like a new, growing movement. It’s probably a lot older than you think. 

Throughout human history, infectious diseases have caused enormous suffering, and smallpox was one of the deadliest. This viral disease produced painful pustules across the body and killed around one-third of those infected. Among the survivors, many were left blind or permanently scarred. During the 20th century alone, smallpox killed an estimated 300 million people. The disease affected everyone regardless of wealth or status, including several European monarchs such as Joseph I, Holy Roman Emperor, Louis I of Spain, Mary II of England, Louis XV of France, and Peter II of Russia.

A major breakthrough came in 1796 when British doctor Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine. Jenner noticed that milkmaids who had previously caught cowpox, a much milder virus, rarely became infected with smallpox. To test his theory, he inoculated an eight-year-old boy with material taken from a cowpox sore. Although this experiment would be considered unethical today, the boy later proved immune to smallpox. Jenner called the procedure “vaccination,” from the Latin word vacca meaning cow. Jenner predicted that vaccination would eventually eliminate smallpox, and he was correct. In 1980, after decades of global vaccination campaigns led by the World Health Organization, smallpox was officially declared eradicated. It remains the only infectious disease ever completely eliminated worldwide.

Since Jenner’s discovery, vaccines have been developed against many other diseases, including influenza, human papillomavirus (HPV), polio, measles, and COVID-19. Over the past 50 years, vaccines are estimated to have saved about 154 million lives and have significantly reduced infant and child mortality.

Despite these achievements, opposition to vaccines has existed almost as long as vaccination itself. Even before vaccines, a practice called variolation—an early form of immunisation—was criticised by some religious leaders who believed disease was divine punishment. In the 19th century, anti-vaccination groups formed in response to government vaccination mandates, claiming vaccines were unnatural, dangerous, or part of conspiracies. Some critics even believed vaccination could physically transform people, a fear illustrated by cartoons showing people turning into cows.

These arguments have persisted into modern times. Today, misinformation spreads rapidly through the internet and social media, contributing to declining public confidence in vaccines. According to the World Health Organization, vaccine hesitancy is now one of the major global public health threats. Lower vaccination rates have already led to new outbreaks of diseases such as measles, demonstrating that misinformation and fear about vaccines can have serious real-world consequences.
