These outbreaks have given rise to incidents that have had the power to alter and re-shape socioeconomic, political, religious, and cultural aspects of human civilization. Pandemics and epidemics have also helped to shape some of the basics of modern medicine, which includes creating frameworks for the study of epidemiology, disease prevention, and vaccination.
