George Washington basically supported the equivalent of "chickenpox parties", where you'd deliberately expose people to smallpox in a controlled manner when they could recover from it with minimal impact to their lives and in the process build up herd immunity among the population.
Which is what a lot of us were suggesting we do from the very outset of this thing and is the exact opposite of the "Zero Infections" strategy our Betters have been using.
Yeah. This was before the smallpox vaccine so it was just inserting actual smallpox into the patient. The cloth mask wearing ninnies would need a fainting couch if someone had suggested exposing nurses while the cases were low so they would be immune for a future case spike.
