Smallpox, Cowpox, Covid-19 and You
Knowing the historical context helps you avoid being rolled by snake-oil salesmen relying on ignorance and mis-appropriated terms like “vaccine” and “booster” to peddle their one-gene artificial virus

Smallpox, Cowpox, Covid-19 and You
After more than 50 years of people in England trying to beat smallpox by inoculating themselves with it, Edward Jenner demonstrated that inoculation with a relatively harmless disease, cowpox, prevented infection by a deadly disease, smallpox. And once people had been inoculated with cowpox, they didn’t have to run even the 1 in 50 chance of dying from the smallpox inoculation or risk spreading smallpox in the meantime while waiting to recover from the inoculation.
To distinguish between Jenner’s cowpox inoculation and smallpox inoculation, people came up with a new term, “vaccination.” It was derived from the Latin word for “cow,” a reference to cowpox. Compare “vaca,” Spanish for cow and “vacuna,” Spanish for vaccination.
And since Jenner’s time until late 2020, the point of vaccinations was to provoke immunity without disease (or much of it if using weakened or “attenuated” pathogens).
Vaccination science finally developed to the point that vaccines could be developed that contained no infectious agents whatsoever, just bits and pieces of pathogen surface proteins that were sufficient to provoke an adaptive immune response without the effects of disease caused by the intact pathogens.
And it’s at this point we must note why historical perspective is so important.
Knowing 1) just how deadly smallpox actually was compared literally to anything in our time and 2) what Jenner accomplished can prevent you from being conned by people trying to pass off things, like Covid 19, of historically little consequence, as one of the most dangerous and threatening events in human history and their proposed action against it (things that require your complete support and unquestioning obedience) as the only thing standing between you and global annihilation.
So, to sum up the immunization state of affairs from Edward Jenner’s time until near the end of 2020:
1. The inoculation with pus from smallpox lesions and the resulting 49 in 50 chances of a mild, non-disfiguring form of the disease was seen to be far more preferable than risking the far greater odds of dying and certain disfigurement if getting the full blown disease.
2. The inoculation with pus from cowpox lesions and the resulting non-deadly, non-injurious, non-disfiguring mild form of cowpox and complete protection against smallpox was seen as far more preferable than the 1 in 50 chance of dying from smallpox via the smallpox inoculation,
3. As a result of vaccination with cowpox, smallpox, as a periodic worldwide scourge, was put on the road to being wiped out and, because there are no intermediate hosts for the virus, after the last smallpox case cleared in 1978, smallpox was no longer around in the human population to infect anyone—well, except for stockpiles of the virus held by the US and Russia.
4. Since Jenner’s time, advances in vaccine technology have made it possible to be immunized against a variety of diseases without ever having the healthy cells of your body become infected by any form of an infectious pathogen at all.
All you need is that your innate immune system be able to encounter relatively small amounts of bits and pieces of the pathogen’s least mutable surface proteins, to clean them up, and to present them to the naive T and B cells of the adaptive immune system to develop a pathogen-specific adaptive immune response.
That, along with the response of the innate immune system, will quickly take out any of the actual pathogens you should happen to bump into in the future, and usually so quickly and completely that you will never even know that you had been infected.
So, with all that in mind, don’t you find it more than just a LITTLE weird that four different high tech companies would throw 200 years of vaccine experience out the window and deliberately choose the very same, old-timey, less reliable, and much more dangerous method of inoculation using an infectious agent?
One that:
A. simultaneously invades healthy cells in multiple organ systems,
B. introduces into those cells viral RNA that will:
1. compromise those cells,
2. cause them to appear to have been virally infected and in the most dangerous stage of viral infection, which is replication, and
3. trigger the innate immune system to launch massive innate immune inflammatory responses to kill those cells,
exactly the same process by which smallpox and other viral diseases, such as the Spanish Flu near the end of WW I, killed their victims by provoking such harsh immune response that tissues and organs were too damaged for the victim to survive long enough to be killed by the specific effects of the virus on the body.
Why in the world would they do something like that against a common cold virus?
And why would governments everywhere be scrambling to promote a remedy that results in more cells in more organ systems getting more severely infected with Covid-19 RNA than would ever happen during the course of an actual infection with the virus?
And why would they be urging, by force of edict, law, and manipulation of medical regulations that everybody be subjected to these products, not just the 40 or so percent of the population that does not already have existing T-cell immunity due to previous exposure to other Coronaviruses long part of the common cold families of viruses, including those from birth to young adult who are almost completely immune, including those from young adult to very old who, if not already of seriously compromised states of health, are unlikely to be affected in any serious fashion?
In other words, when there is a pathogen of very low mortality and virtually all the mortality is due, not to the action of the virus itself, but to the existing state of health in an extremely small percentage of people who also happen to be the same group that is regularly knocked off every year by one or another respiratory infection or anything else that presents a shock to an already grievously disrupted state of health, why, all of a sudden, is a specific group of people acting as though there is something going on out of the ordinary and trying to force measures of prevention on the very people who don’t need it and, for that type of malady, have never needed it in the past?
It’s just too large a concentration of weird things, wrong things, unusual things, harmful things, and inordinate things all happening at once and throughout the world to be coincidence.
It certainly isn’t happening for any reasons of medical science and health that were in effect up to mid-spring of 2020.
