One of the most known cartoon, is the one in which you can see Mr. Jenner around people who show the absurd growth of a cow's body in different parts of people’s bodies.

Introduction “Better safe than sorry” is a well known saying could apply to almost everything in life. However when it comes to being safe from diseases and sickness, people are putting themselves at risk to be “sorry” by choosing not to vaccinate.

Dong-Pyou Han, Ph. D, former Research Assistant Professor in the Department of biomedical services at Iowa State University of science and technology was found to be engaged in research fraud. It was found that Han falsified results to develop vaccine against human immunodeficiency virous -1 by intentionally spiking samples of rabbit sera with human antibodies. The falsification made it appear that rabbits induced antibodies that is able to neutralize a broad range of HIV-1 strains. The results were

After that, he spent his whole career as a country doctor in his home county, Gloucestershire (West of England). His research was based on careful case studies and clinical observation more than a hundred years before scientists could explain what viruses and diseases actually were. His innovative new method was successful
