George Washington had his men inoculated to prevent smallpox.

This is why the unvaccinated deserve to die. They're unedicated.

Just wait....Bobo buttlicker and Wrongturd highway will be along with Loserkian to tell us Washington was Bootlicking Dem(z).

I'm not sure the OP article is accurate. According to this Wiki entry, the first demonstration of using cowpox to inoculate against smallpox happened in 1796:

The smallpox vaccine was the first vaccine to be developed against a contagious disease. In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus.

So what??

Want to try and put an argument together or are you just stating facts with no point to your thread??

Even if it was true, so what??

True. Just pointing out that the timeline of vaccines doesn't support the article's contention.

Inoculation!

It simply repeats the same story. Apparently George Washington knew about vaccines before the guy who discovered/invented them did.

Vaccines and inoculation are different approaches. Inoculation goes way back in history...please read or I will cut a paste it for you.

From the WHO:

The history of smallpox holds a unique place in medicine. It was one of the deadliest diseases known to humans, and to date (2016) the only human disease to have been eradicated by vaccination. The smallpox vaccine, introduced by Edward Jenner in 1796, was the first successful vaccine to be developed. He observed that milkmaids who previously had caught cowpox did not catch smallpox and showed that inoculated vaccinia protected against inoculated variola virus.

https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/smallpox-vaccines

The CDC has an expanded story that might be the basis of the GW tale:

One of the first methods for controlling smallpox was variolation, a process named after the virus that causes smallpox (variola virus). During variolation, people who had never had smallpox were exposed to material from smallpox sores (pustules) by scratching the material into their arm or inhaling it through the nose. After variolation, people usually developed the symptoms associated with smallpox, such as fever and a rash. However, fewer people died from variolation than if they had acquired smallpox naturally.

I must have skipped the class on inoculation in my Polyphase Systems class.

Hmmmm....

What could the point be, when people are highlighting the fact that one of the inventors of "freedom" initiated mandatory inoculations for all new troops coming through Philadelphia during a time when a virus was threatening the nation.

That's a tough one...... for a complete idiot like BoBo.

Smallpox kills about a third of those it infects. COVID kills well under 1%, and even then only the already infirm or elderly. There is no reason to order mandatory vaccinations.

I don't know, why don't you try and make the point....nobody else can seem to grow enough of a spine to make it and try to stand bye it.

Why so scared??
