“It is unfortunate but true that when culture or politics confronts science, culture and politics most often trumps until a disaster occurs.”
Michael B.A. Oldstone, Viruses, Plagues, and History

“By Amherst’s direction, hostile Indian tribes were provided with blankets contaminated with smallpox: “Could it not be contrived to send the smallpox among those disaffected tribes of Indians? We must, on this occasion, use every stratagem in our power to reduce them” (14).”
Michael B.A. Oldstone, Viruses, Plagues, and History

“no smallpox vaccinations have been given worldwide since 1980, and in some countries like the USA, since the 1960s.”
