Description
Abstract
En el seno de una Europa destruida y asediada por las epidemias, surge la idea de afrontar la amenaza de la tuberculosis con una gran campaña de BCG en Alemania, Austria, Polonia, Yugoslavia, Hungría o India. Este artículo trata de sintetizar el devenir de hechos, condiciones y causas implícitas en el desarrollo de estas grandes campañas contra la tuberculosis, que, impulsadas desde la Dinamarca, Suecia y Noruega, pronto reciben el apoyo de la OMS y UNICEF, y llegan a inmunizar a más veinte millones de personas en India. La campaña contra la tuberculosis sienta las bases del futuro de erradicación de la viruela, también de la cooperación internacional durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Los hechos son paradigmáticos de una nueva biopolítica en Europa.
Within a Europe destroyed and besieged by epidemics, the idea of tackling the threat of tuberculosis arises with a large BCG campaign in Germany, Austria, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary or India. This article tries to synthesize the facts, conditions and causes implicit in the development of these great campaigns against tuberculosis, which, promoted by Denmark, Sweden and Norway, soon receive the support of WHO and UNICEF, and become immunized to over twenty million people in India. The campaign against tuberculosis lays the foundations for the future of smallpox eradication, as well as international cooperation during the last decades of the 20th century. The facts are paradigmatic of a new biopolitics in Europe.
