How do you stop smallpox?
A man noticed how milkmaids did not get affected by smallpox, so they assumed that it was something to do with cows or milk that stopped them catching smallpox. I turns out that it was a similair, but less deadly, virus called cowpox that was preventing milkmaids getting smallpox. Cowpox was a vaccine against smallpox - meaning if you have had cowpox, you can't get smallpox.
How common is smallpox?
Smallpox was once common, but it is no longer a problem. It has been eradicated through the effective Intensified Smallpox Eradication Programme, initiated by the World Health Organization. On 26 July 1978, WHO announced the eradication of the smallpox strain Variola Minor. The more deadly strain, Variola Major, had been eradicated several years earlier, in 1975. There remains a stockpile of the virus in storage in 600 frozen vials in Atlanta and Russia. This has been deemed necessary, in case further vaccines are required in the future. This stockpile was supposed to be destroyed on 31 December 1993, but on 23 December 1993, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, Georgia reversed their decision, announcing that the remaining virus stockpile would not be destroyed, so as to enable scientists to continue studying the disease.

Death from smallpox was iffy, and slow. There were two different strains of smallpox, one causing about 1% fatalities, the other about 30%.

In 1979, the World Health Organization announced that smallpox had been eradicated from the planet through a program of vaccination. There have been no cases since then, and it is the only disease that has been eradicated.
