During smallpox outbreaks, people often exhibited fear and stigma towards those infected, leading to isolation and social ostracism. In some communities, individuals with smallpox were quarantined to prevent the spread of the disease, while others showed compassion by providing care and support to the afflicted. Vaccination efforts, particularly after Edward Jenner's discovery, fostered a sense of solidarity as people worked together to combat the disease. Overall, responses varied widely based on societal attitudes, knowledge, and resources available.
