Such knowledge led to an amusing encounter in 1776 between Franklin and the future second president, John Adams. On the way to a meeting in Staten Island, Franklin and Adams spent the night in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The inn was so full that Adams and Franklin had to share not only a room, but also a bed.
Franklin knew Adams was suffering from a cold, so he left the small window open in their room before retiring to bed. When Adams tried to close the window, Franklin said,"Don't shut the window, we shall be suffocated." When Adams protested, Franklin explained that Adams was"not acquainted with my theory of colds" and that if he closed the window"the air within this chamber will soon be worse than that that [air] outdoors.
What's more, Franklin would probably be among those leading efforts to develop or promote a vaccine.
