What was the purpose of varriolation?
Variolation was an early method of immunization against smallpox, where material from a smallpox sore was introduced into the skin of a healthy person. The purpose was to induce a mild form of the disease, leading to immunity without causing severe illness or death. This practice helped reduce the mortality rate associated with smallpox and laid the groundwork for the development of the modern smallpox vaccine. Variolation was instrumental in the eventual eradication of smallpox.
