Coke's Tuberculosis Vaccine

Coke was not the first to suggest or even experimentally indicate that tuberculosis was infectious, but his experimental evidence backed up with microscopic demonstrations would make his voice the one that was heard. In a public presentation in an October day in 1882, Coke announced his findings to the most notable doctors and researchers of the day who were knocked speechless. He emerged less than two years after his first announcement of tuberculosis bearing another supposedly ground breaking discovery. This supposed cure, when injected, was supposed to reverse the damaged areas of the lungs and leave the sufferer disease free. It does nothing to heal the patient. Instead, it causes fever, pain, and often death.
