We don’t often get a crossover between GGG and current events.
Immunization against smallpox existed in 1787?
Smallpox in 1787 had a far greater potential for causing death than does Covid in 2021.
Dan Rather may have been the one to discover the letter.
Did that font exist back then? 🥴

Oh good God. Yup, they have to tie it in with this miniscule disease. Or rather the HYSTERIA.
Urged not mandated
She was anti-vaxx since it was not mandatory
Were horses involved?...
Very interesting. And if I'm reading this other reference correctly, it suggests that smallpox vaccine was developed / discovered in 1796.

On the other hand, when George Washington took over the Continental Army in 1775, he seems to have beat Catherine the Great to vaccine greatness by allegedly using vaccine to fight smallpox among the troops.

But regardless when smallpox vaccine became available, unlike computer model experimental CV19 “vaccines,” smallpox vaccine had been in use at least 100 years before Supreme Court sided with a state for the administration of smallpox vaccines in Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 1905.

Finally, I wonder if medical history would have turned out better if vitamin D3 had been discovered before vaccines were.
Corrections, insights welcome.
The letter was addressed to one Antonin Fraudski. She gave him 1 billion rubles, which he gave to China. He then tortured some beagles by throwing them in the Dnieper
Thanks nickcarraway. There was no such vaccine available in 1787, btw, the attempt was a crapshoot with not too good results. This article is just some stupid COVID stooge agitprop.
from the wikiwacky: [snip] In 1796, the British doctor Edward Jenner demonstrated that an infection with the relatively mild cowpox virus conferred immunity against the deadly smallpox virus. Cowpox served as a natural vaccine until the modern smallpox vaccine emerged in the 20th century. From 1958 to 1977, the World Health Organization conducted a global vaccination campaign that eradicated smallpox, making it the only human disease to be eradicated. Although routine smallpox vaccination is no longer performed on the general public, the vaccine is still being produced to guard against bioterrorism, biological warfare, and for monkeypox. [/snip]
Why all the Smallpox related articles/incidents recently?
