Kinda like the fact that we don't use "Variolation" any more.

In Asia, practitioners developed the technique of variolation—the deliberate infection with smallpox. Dried smallpox scabs were blown into the nose of an individual who then contracted a mild form of the disease. Upon recovery, the individual was immune to smallpox. Between 1% to 2% of those variolated died as compared to 30% who died when they contracted the disease naturally.

By 1700, variolation had spread to Africa, India and the Ottoman Empire.

We’re working on it.

Your friends at Pfizer.

But it’ll be more like a vaccine.

C Diff is a bitch.
