Read the material that I posted, as the facts disagree with your contention.

Answer the question directly, quack. You keep posting that smallpox is caused by inoculations, vaccines, and unsanitary conditions.
Why, with a massive World Health Organization vaccination campaign in the unsanitary Third World in the 50s, 60s and 70s, has smallpox disappeared?
By you're tinfoil reasoning, we should have witnessed the greatest smallpox epidemics of all time. The opposite has occurred.

Answer the question directly, quack.

Post a scientific study that proves that the smallpox vaccine works, quack.

You keep posting that smallpox is caused by inoculations, vaccines, and unsanitary conditions.

That is what the doctors that have delt with the disease say. I'll pay attention to them before I listen to a quack on FR that posts no facts or evidence, simply ad hominen comments..

Why, with a massive World Health Organization vaccination campaign in the unsanitary Third World in the 50s, 60s and 70s, has smallpox disappeared?

Contrary to your sordid allegations, conditions HAVE improved in the third world, and less than 10% of children in developing countries received the vaccine..

From WHO SMALLPOX ERADICATION SUCCESS RECONSIDERED

Although smallpox is apparently now accorded to the history books, it will be necessary to re-examine the issue of this disease having been universally eradicated, with particular reference to the WHO eradication campaign. An honest look at this question is of considerable importance, as the current worldwide UCI-EPI program gains much of its legitimacy and inspiration from this widely acclaimed success story.
A strong challenge to this now popular view, is reflected in the post-campaign findings of medical researchers like Buttram and Hoffman:
Most people probably credit the smallpox vaccine with playing the major role in recent eradication of smallpox throughout the world, but let us examine the facts. In the article 'Vaccines a Future in Question,' statistics showed that less than 10 percent of children in developing countries have received vaccines.
They went on to comment that with this level of coverage, the WHO campaign was not a real factor in the eradication. Data obtained in their broad based research also led them to conclude that "mass smallpox vaccination was not necessary for the eradication of smallpox.¹¹⁰

In further examining this question from a longer historical perspective, it became readily apparent that the WHO claim did not at all square with the earlier data, i.e., historical smallpox eradication efforts. If we go back as far as the last century, we discover that Creighton's independent research findings as published in the Ninth Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, strongly contradict the effectiveness of mass smallpox immunization programs. A few revealing excerpts follow:

. . . in Bavaria in 1871 of 30,742 cases 29,429 were in vaccinated persons, or 95.7 percent.
Notwithstanding the fact that Prussia was the best re-vaccinated country in Europe, its mortality from smallpox in the epidemic of 1871 was higher (69,839) than any other Northern state.
According to a competent statistician (A. Vogt), the death-rate from smallpox in the German army, in which all recruits are re-vaccinated, was 60 percent more than among the civil population of the same age . . . although re-vaccination is not obligatory among the latter.
It is often alleged that the unvaccinated are so much inflammable material in the midst of the community, and that smallpox begins among them and gathers force so that it sweeps even the vaccinated before it. Inquiry into the facts has shown that at Cologne in 1870 the first unvaccinated person attacked by smallpox was the 174^th in order of time, at Bonn the same year the 42d, and at Liegnitz in 1871 the 225^th.¹¹¹

As we move on into the earlier part of this century we find the same dismal picture of increased susceptibility correlated with increased vaccination coverage. Dettman and Kalokerinos describe a visit they paid to the Philippines about 15 years ago:

. . . We were fortunate enough to address their own medical (and) health officials where we reminded them of the incidence of smallpox in formerly "immunized" Filipinos. We invited them to consult their own medical records and asked them to correct us if our own facts and figures disagreed. No such correction has been forthcoming, and we can only conclude that between 1918-1919 there were 112,549 cases of smallpox notified, with 60,855 deaths. Systematic (mass) vaccination started in 1905, and since its introduction case mortality increased alarmingly. Their own records comment that "The mortality is hardly explainable." ¹¹²

Speaking at a 1973 environmental conference in Brussels, Professor George Dick admitted that in recent decades, 75 percent of those that have contracted smallpox in Britain, have had prior a history of vaccination. In that "only 40%" of children were vaccinated (and at most 10 percent of adults), such figures clearly indicate that the vaccinated--as in the much earlier historical record--continue to show a higher tendency to contract the disease. Dick also admitted that smallpox had been eradicated in certain tropical countries without mass vaccination.¹¹³ (Table VIII reveals that in the 16 year period preceding the year the WHO eradication campaign was launched--38 additional countries had ceased to report any smallpox cases.)¹¹⁴

From DOCTORS AND SCIENTISTS CONDEMN VACCINATION

"Immunisation against smallpox is more hazardous than the disease itself."
Professor Ari Zuckerman, World Health Organisation

By you're tinfoil reasoning, we should have witnessed the greatest smallpox epidemics of all time. The opposite has occurred.

Read the evidence and facts. If you think facts constitute "tinfoil" and wild unfounded allegations such as yours constitute "good science", furthur discussion with you is fruitless...

Sabertooth, are you always so nasty with people whom you don't agree with? Do you really think the name-calling shows your wisdom, knowledge and maturity?
