; Viral Landmarks
: '''The Spanish Flu (1918)''' → The deadliest pandemic in modern history, which killed more people in one year than the entire Black Death killed in a century.
: '''Smallpox Eradication (1980)''' → The greatest victory in medical history. Smallpox was a virus that killed 30% of its victims, and we "Deleted" it from the planet using vaccines.
: '''The Discovery of HIV (1983)''' → The moment we realized a virus could target the "Immune System" itself, turning the body's defenders into its own enemies.
: '''Tobacco Mosaic Virus (1892)''' → The first virus ever "Discovered" (by showing that an infectious juice could still pass through a filter that was too small for any bacteria).
