I don't know what happened there. There was definitely text there when I previewed the post but it disappeared when I pressed submit!

Let's have another go.


I wish the antivaxers here knew that General George Washington demanded everyone in his army was vaccinated against small pox.

Edward Jenner inoculated a 13 year old boy in 1796 with the cowpox virus as a protection against smallpox. The first proper smallpox vaccine was developed in 1798. George Washington died in 1799. He must have been very forward thinking in the last year of his life.
