Wow, my bad...apparently it did. In fact smallpox was apparently combated with forms of inoculations all the way back into ancient history. Ya learn something new everyday.

Yes, s doctor developed a process via cowpox. Trying to recall the name.

Washington wanted it for his troops and had it done AMAP.

Should’ve remarked it really started the vaccination concept and science. That’s the starting point for “vaccines” per se in history.

George Washington while on campaign was inoculated and insisted his household were all treated too.
