 Louis, as you probably
have figured out, made many discoveries, medicines, and vaccines. Pasteur followed
his determination from his childhood experiences to discover a rabies vaccine. He knew
that he could do it if he didn’t give up, so he kept going and succeeded. One of his greatest inventions was Pasteurization. That’s heating or boiling liquids to free them of microbes (germs or bacteria as you may know it). Now you may know how it got its name of PASTEURization. Louis has invented many things that now are not needed often because the diseases may have been completely wiped out with his cures. Although some are needed now. For example, the anthrax vaccine was sadly needed soon after 9/11. Polio and smallpox are good examples of vaccines not used much today. He also developed vaccines for tuberculosis, diphtheria, measles, and many others. However I don’t know all of them. As a matter of fact, Louis’s discoveries go all the way back to his childhood. Like when he sad that disease didn’t just happen and nobody believed him. He was making a discovery. So as you see, if it wasn’t for him, you might be sick or even dying. |
