Ceramic Mug, (11oz, 15oz) Onesimus—The Man Who Taught Immunity”
$13.00 – $17.00
Onesimus was an enslaved African man in Boston during the early 1700s who played a critical role in introducing smallpox inoculation to the American colonies. His knowledge helped save countless lives and laid the foundation for modern vaccination practices.
Key Contributions & Legacy
🔹 Introduced Smallpox Inoculation (1716) – Onesimus shared the African practice of variolation with his enslaver, Cotton Mather, explaining how people in his homeland intentionally exposed themselves to smallpox in a controlled way to build immunity. 🔹 Boston’s 1721 Smallpox Epidemic – Mather advocated for inoculation based on Onesimus’ teachings, despite public resistance. The method proved effective, reducing deaths and influencing future medical practices. 🔹 Recognition & Impact – Though rarely credited, Onesimus’ knowledge was a turning point in disease prevention, influencing the development of Edward Jenner’s smallpox vaccine decades later.
Onesimus’ story is a powerful testament to African knowledge systems and their lasting impact on global health. Would you like to explore more about how his discovery shaped modern medicine
