Modern medicine for smallpox involves the use of vaccination, specifically the vaccinia virus, which effectively prevents the disease and has led to the global eradication of smallpox in 1980. In contrast, old medicine relied on variolation, where material from smallpox sores was deliberately introduced into healthy individuals to induce a milder form of the disease. While variolation provided some immunity, it carried significant risks and was not as effective or safe as the modern vaccination methods. Overall, modern approaches focus on prevention and eradication, while old methods were more reactive and risky.

Before modern medicine, which is only a couple of hundred years old, people used to cure themselves naturally. A witch meant wise. Women who birthed babies for thousands of years were recently called witches by male doctors practicing modern medicine.

Their long traditions have come back as Midwives and Homeopathic medicine.

Names of biological scientists with photos and their inventions?
India's contributions to science, technology and crafts are well documented, if not widely known. For example, before the British arrived, Indians had a system of inoculation against smallpox; year-old live smallpox matter was used, and it was very effective. Inocultators would fan out into the country before the smallpox season in the winter. The British doctor J Z Holwell wrote a book in 1767 describing the system and how it was safe. European medicine did not have any treatment against this disease at that time.
