Abstract

 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.

 Keywords: cooperation, UNICEF, WHO, tuberculosis, biopolitics.
