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?
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.
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..
Because they stopped the barbaric practice of innoculation centuries ago, and the vaccinations ended decades ago...A total and cowardly non sequiter. Why did smallpox vanish at the same time that far more people were living in unsanitary condidtions than in the past?
Face the consequences of your argument.
It was the innoculations and vaccinations that gave rise to MOST cases of smallpox..Naturally occuring smallpox ended before vaccines stopped being routine. By your logic, with more vaccines and more people living in unsanitary conditions in the Third World, we should have seen increases in smallpox in the 1960s and 1970s, instead of the actual decrease observed.
Smallpox was around for 3,000 years before the first inoculation.
Lie again.
