Add your reasons, if you like!

Other people have added these:

• Yellow fever @notoverjoyed

• Scurvy @monitorchakas

• Lymph disease @wyrmalien

• Diphtheria ( I couldn’t fit this one)

• Malaria “ye olde marsh fever” @bombadilbaddie

• Scrofula “The King’s Evil” @hasturswig

Edit for all the people telling me “uhhh tuberculosis still exists”: I know! :) In fact, all of these sicknesses still exist. In the modern world we live in, however, most of these are only prevalent in developing countries, and certainly not to the extent they once were.

Onesimus (late 1600s–1700s) was an African man who was instrumental in the mitigation of the impact of a smallpox outbreak in Boston, Massachusetts. His birth name is unknown. He was enslaved and, in 1706, was given to the New England Puritan minister Cotton Mather, who renamed him. Onesimus introduced Mather to the principle and procedure of the variolation method of inoculation to prevent the disease, which laid the foundation for the development of vaccines. After a smallpox outbreak began in Boston in 1721, Mather used this knowledge to advocate for inoculation in the population. This practice eventually spread to other colonies. In a 2016 Boston magazine survey, Onesimus was declared one of the "Best Bostonians of All Time"

Onesimus's name at birth and place of birth are unknown with certainty. He was first documented as living in the colonies in 1706, having been brought to North America as an enslaved person. In December of that year, he was given as a gift by a church congregation to Cotton Mather, their Puritan minister of North Church, as well as a prominent figure in the Salem Witch Trials. Mather renamed him after a first-century AD enslaved person mentioned in the Bible.The name, "Onesimus" means "useful, helpful, or profitable".

Mather referred to the ethnicity of Onesimus as "Guaramantee", which may refer to the Coromantee (also known as Akan people of modern Ghana). 

Mather saw Onesimus as highly intelligent and educated him in reading and writing with the Mather family (for context, according to biographer Kathryn Koo, at that time, literacy was primarily associated with religious instruction, and writing as means of note-taking and conducting business)

In 1716 or shortly before, Onesimus had described to Mather the process of inoculation that had been performed on him and others in his society in Africa (as Mather reported in a letter): "People take Juice of Small-Pox; and Cut the Skin, and put in a drop." In the book, African Medical Knowledge, the Plain Style, and Satire in the 1721 Boston Inoculation Controversy, Kelly Wisecup wrote that Onesimus is believed to have been inoculated at some point before being sold into slavery or during the slave trade, as he most likely traveled from the West Indies to Boston.

The variolation method of inoculation was long practiced in Africa among African people.

The practice was widespread among enslaved colonial people from many regions of Africa and, throughout the slave trade in the Americas, slave communities continued the practice of inoculation despite regional origin.

Mather followed Onesimus's medicinal advice because, as Margot Minardi writes, "inferiority had not yet been indelibly written onto the bodies of Africans."

Letter to Superintendent concerning a possible outbreak of small-pox.

Record Group 75: Records of the Bureau of Indian AffairsSeries: Letters Received from Day School Teacher Clara D. True

In reply to: Department of the Interior, INDIAN SCHOOL SERVICE, OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT. Espanola, N.M. Feb 2, 1904 Mr. C. J. Crandall, Supt U.S. Indian Schools Santa Fe, N.M. Dear Sir: There is no well-authenticated report of a small pox epidemic neared than Antonio and most likely there is no individual case in this vicinity. The Indian Geronimo Tofaya who reported a case Sunday still insists that a Mexican laborer en route home from the infected district stopped in Geronimo's house and that the Mexican had small pox. The Indian has been to me twice to have his children vaccinated. He himself has had the disease. He is one of the people who refused to be vaccinated some years ago and a little later took smallpox. He says he does not know where the Mexican is by this time. The doctor will be here today. I vaccinated myself and the housekeeper yesterday and as many of the children as I could. Very respectfully, Clara D. True.

From Ancient Rome to the Modern Era, deadly pandemics have threatened multiple civilizations. History teaches us no one is safe, and precautions must be made.

The World Economic Forum is the next colonial terrorism. Just like the Europeans destroyed First Nations in America to create modern-day countries, the WEF will destroy the countries to create a global society under their rule. The past is being repeated.

From reservations to 15-minute cities. Smallpox to vaccine injury of COVID-19. Running off the bison over mountains to GMO farming to destroy food. Burning of tribal setups to Climate Change. It's all being repeated. And the world has yet to learn.

Everyone always says writers’ search histories are wild and might get them on government watch lists, but have you ever googled “how to use smallpox for chemical warfare”? Because I just did. 

So NSA, if you’re seeing this, it’s for writing, NOT for science.

**Stop saying monkeypox is a gay disease!**

Did people not learn from HIV? When you blame queer and trans people you’re just making it more likely to spread because most straight people will seriously believe they can’t get it because they’re straight! Guess what?! Queer and trans people’s HIV numbers are going down while straight people's are going up! That’s how monkeypox will be! Stop saying it’s a gay disease! It’s not a sexually transmitted infection! You don’t have to have sex to catch it! That means everyone can get it!
