Vaccines were done differently back then. They would cut your arm to open a wound, then scrape say smallpox from someone with open sores, and put it on your wound.
George Washington did this to the troops at Valley Forge when Small Pox broke out - only a handful died - he saved his army.

They used exposure to cowpox to give resistance to smallpox.

Supreme speculation! God never protected an army from disease before vaccines?
