folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

The process of inoculation in the 1700’s was scraping smallpox pus out of open lesions from infected patients, making an incision in the person being inoculated, and stuffing the infected pus into the incision. Yet even this was preferable to smallpox. Our vaccines are a million times safer.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.
“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.
