With better sanitation and hygene, the transmission of the disease declined.

There are, at this very minute, more people living on planet Earth in unhygenic and unsanitary conditions, than at any other time in human History. There are more today than yesterday, and there will be more tomorrow. There were more unsanitary and unhygenic people in 1970 than 1950, 1900, 1800, 1700, 1500, 1000, 500, 100 BC, 1000 BC or 1400 BC.

Why have there been no naturally occuring smallpox cases in the last 24 years anywhere in the First, Second, or Third Worlds?

Do you have any evidence of that, or is that just your heartfelt opinion? Are you saying that in the 21st century, we know less about hygene and sanitation than we did 100 years ago?

And the Earth is flat, right?

Why have there been no naturally occuring smallpox cases in the last 24 years anywhere in the First, Second, or Third Worlds?

Because they stopped the barbaric practice of innoculation centuries ago, and the vaccinations ended decades ago...

It was the innoculations and vaccinations that gave rise to MOST cases of smallpox..
