Since I don't know your source I can only guess at an answer and that would be that small pox was determined to be eradicated 40 years ago or so, and the vaccine has not been given for 30 years or so. Most people on earth have been born since then. Even when the virus was active it was not epidemic everywhere. Yes, improved sanitation prevents disease, but these improved conditions only exists in the developed world, and small pox is gone from everywhere. Do you realize that one third of those who were infected with small pox died and many of the survivors were left horribly disfigured

Do you realize that most of those that died were the ones that were VACCINATED against smallpox?
