Case 3 Date: June 22, 2005. A 27-year-old man is brought into a New York City emergency room with a 101-degree fever, and what he believes is chickenpox (Varicella). After a brief examination, the 35-year-old physician is puzzled because the pox does not appear to be typical of the varicella-zoster virus. Worried, he calls in another physician for her opinion. She takes one look at the patient, determines he has small pox, and immediately orders him to be quarantined. She notifies the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and asks them what should be done. While doing background on the patient, he tells the physicians that he is a flight attendant and that he has flown to Orlando, FL, Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, and Seattle, WA in the past few weeks while working. Though he is given excellent treatment, and had been in perfect health a few days earlier, the patient dies 7 hours after admittance to the hospital. The CDC decides that mandatory small pox vaccines will be administered to all workers in the NYC hospital, and to all patients who were in the ER. His co-workers are all given mandatory vaccines as well, as are all people living in his apartment complex. They also ship stored quantities of the vaccine to all of the cities where the man had flown to for work. The vaccines are offered to citizens of these cities. Finally, all people, along with their families who had been on the man's flights in the weeks preceding the appearance of the disease are forced to receive the vaccine. The flight attendant was most likely given small pox by a bio terrorist who flew on his plane sometime during the past week and a half. The terrorist would have been contagious but would not have shown symptoms. Virtually every person the man came into contact with would have gotten the virus.

In your opinion, under what present-day circumstances could Edward Jenner conduct his experiments with smallpox vaccinations? Do you think that any of his procedures would be prohibited in a modern research study? Reading Excerpt: Friis, Robert H. Epidemiology 101 (Essential Public Health) (p. 14). Jones & Bartlett Learning. Kindle Edition. In 1798, Jenner’s findings regarding his development of a vaccine that provided immunity to smallpox were published. Jenner had observed that dairymaids who had been infected with cowpox (transmitted by...
Reading Excerpt: Friis, Robert H. Epidemiology 101 (Essential Public Health) (p. 14). Jones & Bartlett Learning. Kindle Edition. In 1798, Jenner’s findings regarding his development of a vaccine that provided immunity to smallpox were published. Jenner had observed that dairymaids who had been infected with cowpox (transmitted by cattle) were immune to smallpox. The cowpox virus, known as the vaccinia virus, produces a milder infection in humans than does the smallpox virus. Jenner created a vaccine by using material from...
Suppose that a company selling flu vaccines says that it’s effective if fewer than 20% of all those who get a flu shot actually become sick with the flu. Let p = fraction of people who have been given the flu shot and become sick anyway. You want to test the following: If 75 of 300 people given the vaccine also get sick from the flu, what would you conclude given α = 0.05? a) We fail to reject Ho,...

Read the following passage focusing your attention on the scientific procedures and scientific abilities illustrated in it. Think about what types of experiments (observation, testing or application) are described. Identify the hypothesis, predictions, outcomes of experiments and assumptions that appear in the passage. The standard explanation of how humans originally acquired AIDS is that HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) originally was transmitted to humans from monkeys or apes carrying SIV, simian immunodeficiency virus. How could the transmission have occurred? Several similar...
AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) afflicts 38 million people worldwide. Almost 3 million people died from AIDs in 2003 alone, and over 20 million have died since the epidemic began. A vaccine that could prevent or slow down the spread of this deadly disease would be a boon to the world. However, since 1981 when the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed, researchers have been unsuccessful in their attempts to develop such a vaccine. The efforts of a company called VaxGen...
