In the late 1800s,a Frenchman observed that individuals who recovered from a disease were not susceptible to that same disease again.Therefore,he proposed that the agent that caused syphilis should be given to all young healthy people as a vaccine to prevent them from getting a serious case of the disease.Although the mode of action of vaccines was not yet known,Pasteur argued vehemently against this proposal.And today,we do not follow this procedure for syphilis.Why?
