In this video, we explore how ancient Chinese doctors understood airborne disease, immunity, and inoculation centuries before germ theory. You’ll learn key historical terms like 痘疹 (dòuzhěn), 天花 (tiānhuā), 接種 (jiēzhǒng), and 疫苗 (yìmiáo), and how these ideas influenced the global history of vaccines.
