The following is a brief history of vaccines starting with the first known vaccine (smallpox) to the vaccines that are being used now for COVID-19.
1796 â Smallpox vaccine. Edward Jenner used cowpox material to create immunity to smallpox. It was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease. Mortality during outbreaks was as high as 35% before the vaccine. Smallpox is estimated to have killed 300 to 500 million people before 1900. From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization conducted a global vaccination campaign that eradicated smallpox. Although the vaccine is no longer given to the public, the vaccine is kept on hand to guard against bioterrorism and biological warfare.
31-year-old Tom Rhodes, originally from Rochdale, has been crowned BBC One’s MasterChef 2021 champion.
Announced as the winner in the final aired on Wednesday (14 April) - which was postponed following the death of the Duke of Edinburgh - Tom is the 17th amateur cook to claim the prestigious title.
Tom battled against fierce competition from 39 other amateur cooks, through six weeks of culinary challenges and an exhilarating final cook-off against fellow finalists Mike Tomkins, 27, and Alexina Anatole, 30.
In the end, Tom was awarded the MasterChef trophy by judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
Tom grew up in Rochdale before moving to Newcastle for university and settling in the city where he now lives and works. He commented on his win: “From beginning to end, MasterChef is the most incredible experience. Being this year’s MasterChef champion, after watching and admiring so many past champions, seems like a dream come true.
