With monkeypox now swinging through the trees of the urban jungle, and the smallpox vaccine about to be rolled out, said to be 85 percent effective against the circulating monkeypox (how exactly do they know this?) it is good to reflect upon the origins of vaccination, and the smallpox vaccine, going back to vaccines Founding Father, Edward Jenner (1749-1823). Natural News.com has done a great job of digging into the dirty history of Jenner, who never studied for a medical degree, and only much later actually bought one! As well, he did not make the observation that those who had cow pox were immune to smallpox, but took the idea from milk maids. Doctors at the time scoffed at the idea, as there were hundreds of cases of people getting cow pox, then getting smallpox. The vaccine faith was not off to a good start. Is it any surprise that with Covid, the mess continues?
