www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/... What diseases could be released on the world by bombing medical research facilities? #Smallpox anyone? Another #pandemic?
Iran’s Pasteur medical research centre ‘heavily damaged’ in strike Large parts of the facility, which plays a key role in combating infectious diseases like cholera and Covid-19, have been reduced to rubble https://www.telegraph.co.uk/global-health/terror-and-security/irans-pasteur-medical-research-centre-damaged-in-strike/
March 25, Iranian officials reported that several buildings containing equipment and laboratory instruments had been damaged in an air strike, while an earlier strike on March 7 also caused damage. The WHO has recorded 23 attacks targeting healthcare facilities in Iran since February 28. In total, there have been over 1,600 civilians killed, including at least 244 children, since the conflict began, according to data verified by Human Rights Activists in Iran (HRANA).
#Pasteur Institute of #Iran in #Tehran was focused on infectious diseases, helping to fight #plague, #smallpox, #cholera, rabies, #hepatitisB & #tuberculosis by supporting the development of #vaccines and treatments.
Cause for concern: the potential accidental release of #biological agents.

Female researcher presenting some diagrams of skeletal remains
Last month I was invited to give a Pitt-Rivers Arch Sci Seminar at @cam-archaeology.bsky.social on my research into the bony lesions of smallpox & I had a great time! Can’t wait to share more on the 7th century aspect soon 🤪👀 #smallpox #archaeology #osteology
It shows a painting or illustration depicts a child receiving the smallpox vaccine.
Also:
The vaccine had already been in use for decades, and officials believed that wider enforcement would reduce outbreaks and save lives.
The smallpox vaccine led to a clear and measurable decline in deaths from smallpox over the 19th century.

It shows an illustration of a skeleton, wearing a robe and carrying a scythe in one hand and the Vaccination Act in the other.
Additional Facts:
Those who refused could face fines, repeated penalties, and, in some cases, imprisonment if they continued to resist.
This measure arose from the ever-present threat of smallpox, a disease feared for its rapid spread and high mortality.

The history of Indigenous peoples in the Americas following European arrival is distinguished by immense loss and trauma. The dissemination of diseases like smallpox and measles was particularly destructive to native communities, as these populations had not developed immunity to such foreign pathogens. The swift spread of these diseases resulted in population declines that far exceeded the impact of military engagements. In addition to disease, Indigenous communities endured brutal violence, including massacres and wars, alongside policies enforcing removal from ancestral lands. While the claim regarding the death toll of 100 million Native Americans is disputed and not supported by the majority of historians, the extensive devastation experienced by Indigenous populations is undeniable. Deaths were attributable to direct conflict, displacement, starvation, and other secondary effects. Certain scholars and Indigenous historians posit that the colonizers' actions, including targeted campaigns and exploitative policies, constitute genocide, leaving deep-seated scars on Native nations. The repercussions of colonization went beyond immediate mortality to encompass the dismantling of linguistic, cultural, and governance systems. The forced relocation of families and the establishment of boarding schools aimed at stripping away cultural identity further compounded the trauma, while treaty violations by settler governments impeded Indigenous peoples' capacity to sustain their cultures and communities. Despite these adversities, Native nations are presently working towards cultural rejuvenation and legal safeguards, endeavoring to reclaim ancestral lands, protect sovereignty, and revitalize languages and traditions. Through historical acknowledgment and ongoing activism, Indigenous peoples continue to advocate for their rights, identity, and a future honoring their heritage. #nativeamerican

And thanks to #RobertFKennedyJr., #Smallpox will be appearing in emergency departments shortly, just after his #Measles epidemic that the religious nuts are thirsty for these days.
History tends to remember the monsters. But this dude is instrumental in stopping a disease #Smallpox that killed between 250-500 MILLION people throughout history. William Foege passed away recently and should be remembered.
