Black Plague may become history if vaccine proves effective.

A team of scientists has possibly found a vaccine for the Black Plague.

This is great news if it bears out in human trials.

The Black Plague is a scourge that killed a significant portion of Europeans during the Middle Ages.

At one point, it was made worse when a Pope called pilgrims to Rome to pray for deliverance from the plague. All those people together, then carried the fleas back home a spread the plague further.

Great news from the world of medicine.
