| Sumario: | After the consolidation of the Pasteurian Revolution in France and Europe, in Spain an intense political policy of surveillance and prevention of tuberculosis is developed. The need for labor in full industrial advance forces the ruling classes to exercise control over the body and health of citizens. The BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine, discovered by the French Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin of the Pasteur Institute, in 1921, constitutes a decisive biopolitical tool in the fight against infection. Only after the proclamation of the Second Republic there is a paradigm shift, more oriented towards education and prevention. |
