The late 1800s saw the invention of multiple vaccines such as the rabies and anthrax vaccines developed by Pasteur, Koch, and others.

Dear science communicators, when talking about vaccines, be graphic, blunt, and forceful.
It is one thing for people to be anti-vax in the abstract, much harder when they are shown victims of polio, smallpox, etc.

Rabies is a lethal virus that when contracted, leads to strange and painful symptoms, including a fear of water, and convulsions (notice the straps in the photo).
Fortunately, in the late 19th century Louis Pasteur developed a vaccine that continues to save countless lives.

I believe that to understand a subject, you must learn its history. Patrick Kelly's series on medical history is a fascinating dive into the past. Highly recommend if this is your area of interest.
