Weighing the risks, on February 5th of 1777, Washington finally committed to the unpopular policy of mass inoculation by writing to inform Congress of his plan. Throughout February, Washington, with no precedent for the operation he was about to undertake, covertly communicated to his commanding officers orders to oversee mass inoculations of their troops in the model of Morristown and Philadelphia (Dr. Shippen's Hospital). At least eleven hospitals had been constructed by the year's end.


Variola raged throughout the war, devastating the Native American population and slaves who had chosen to fight for the British in exchange for freedom. Yet the isolated infections that sprung up among Continental regulars during the southern campaign failed to incapacitate a single regiment. With few surgeons, fewer medical supplies, and no experience, Washington conducted the first mass inoculation of an army at the height of a war that immeasurably transformed the international system. Defeating the British was impressive, but simultaneously taking on Variola was a risky stroke of genius.

What a godless, liberal commie he must have been

Nah. Commies have zero common sense. and are motivated by society's rejections of sexual deviance and their revenge fantasies over that rejection.

There have been many cases of vaccination success throughout history, for sure! Thank God for modern medicine!

Not all vaccinations or medical treatments in history have been successful, unfortunately. The lobotomy was very popular among some medical/political factions not long ago. As far as vaccinations, there are plenty examples of failures. At what point during an experimental trial should someone say, "Wait a minute, this isn't going well"? After 10,000 deaths? After 100,000 deaths? After 400,000 deaths?

Four Times in History Vaccines Failed (Lessons for a Coronavirus Vaccine?)

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since 2011, vaccines have averted 23.3 million deaths from disease worldwide. Such numbers surely deserve praise, but there certainly have been several hiccups along the way—mistakes that scientists have surely used as a learning...

So you got nothing but some stupid comment. Okay. Since it helped him stay in the field until the war was won, he got to keep 100,000 acres of prime farmland he was supposed to split with other British officers, but instead chose to keep it and joined a 'Revolution' instead of facing a lawsuit in England over the division of the land. So yeah, he made a lot off of it.

oh I could go into how what he did wasnt an experimental vaccine on a new illness that was politically motivated,,

but why??

the real indicator is the money flow and how so many politicians are getting rich off of it,,

and then theres the fact this vaccine isnt a vaccine and doesnt stop you from contracting or spreading the illness,,

GW's sperm was no good. That's the only reason he opposed Monarchies. No possible heirs. So thank that godless, communist, and probably Muslim, bastard for vaccinating the peasantry; leading to the creation of the U.S. Truly, the Mohammed of the West.

Actually the OP is a counter to an earlier thread where some libertoon loon tried to make out like Washington would have opposed innoculation and vaccines n stuff, which of course is just stupid nonsense.

Lol says the triggered loon hoping to impress his fellow loons with his own stupid version of PCness. Drink some more cheap hooch and keep trying.

I cant help but notice you did nothing that proved any of my points wrong,,

I notice you can't tell the differences between inoculations and vaccination, and think posting last is going to make you look smarter instead of dumber.
