Vaccinations and why, sentence 14
Smallpox killed hundreds of millions of people; after a worldwide vaccination campaign the last natural case was in 1977 and it was declared wiped out in 1980; this was possible because there was a good vaccine and smallpox lived only in people, with no animals to hide in.
Who acts: Smallpox, last natural case, this, good vaccine · What happens: kill, be, declare, wipe out, live, hide · To what, where: hundreds, 1977, case, 1980
