Louis Pasteur was a great inventor/chemist. Some may say he was the best chemist, or even the savior of millions. Louis Pasteur is the creator of the first vaccines ever made. Louis Pasteur was born on December 27th 1822.
Louis Pastuer was a great inventor and to me a savior because I’ve now realized that imagine if we didn’t have any vaccines for the plague, flu, or the covid 19 pandemic. Imagine how many innocent people would die, Babys, mothers, fathers, and other innocent people.
In 1872 Louis Pasteur had to go through so much pain. He had a stroke one night that year, and 2 of his daughters died due to typhoid because there were no vaccines around back then. This is the reason why louis pasteur decided to make the first vaccines because he couldn’t bear the thought of other innocent people dying just like his own daughters. So in 1872 one day he created the first ever successful vaccine, the vaccine for fowl cholera in chickens.
In 1885 Louis Pasteur made his second successful vaccine for rabies which was very controversial at the time. In 1885 he was so proud of his inventions and was so happy that the people wouldn’t have to go through all that he had been through and they wouldn’t have to suffer like he did.
In 1895 September 28th Louis Pasteur died. Louis Pasteur died as a huge hero to many people, and a savior to many more. Most people will remember him and think of him as a hero to millions of people. I personally think he is a hero because of all he’s done. What do you think?
Mōrena Archie, thanks for sharing an informative post about Louis Pasteur. We are very lucky in history that people Like Louis strived to find a solution to problems. I know you are learning about sicence this term so you might be interested in some books I have in the library. Do you know about Marie Curie? Elizabeth K
I haven’t heard of Louis Pasteur so thank you for sharing his story. For someone to make it their mission to help others avoid the same tragic loss they have, definitely sounds heroic to me!
Life would have been tough back then as you have described, but also things would have been more simple. What do you think it would have been like growing up in the 1820s like Louis?
