Too many people have completely forgotten that before vaccinations smallpox killed on average 30% of people who were unvaccinated. Smallpox is a viral disease where skin lesions filled with pus break out most heavily on the face arms, hands, legs, and feet. Remember the 30% death rate is an average death rate. I think there were severe smallpox cases where most of the people who got it died. The Variola virus attacks skin cells and the infection goes deep into the skin. People that survived major smallpox cases had deep pitted scars in the skin for the rest of their lives. The major smallpox cases I mentioned hit unvaccinated people basically. Folks this is not chickenpox. Luckily smallpox was wiped out around 1978 due to a coordinated world effort to eliminate this scourge by vacccination.
