Opposition to Vaccination

Above is a cartoon produced by James Gillray in 1802 called opposition to vaccination. Look at the source and listen to the voice thread then try to answer the following question.

Does this source prove that the public thought vaccination was a stupid ideas when Jenner announced his scheme in 1802? (8 marks)

Although the wording is different, this is a usefulness question! It could easily be phrased as; 'how useful is this source in telling us about the public reaction to Jenner's smallpox vaccination in 1802'?

Remember to get the best marks first go through the source explaining what it does show (why people were fearful of it) and then use your own knowledge with supporting evidence to prove that some people were behind Jenner.

Post your answer in the comments of the blog post. I will post my model answer and your grades after the due date and remember just because you are writing on the Internet it does not mean you let your standards of written English drop!
