Here's an example from the Washington Post, there's plenty of other sites saying the same thing if you care to look

Now, to the point:
Smallpox vaccination in the 1700s was done by either giving the patient smallpox directly, or by giving them a weaker disease called cowpox.
As anyone who has taken basic biology knows, this was effective because when your immune system fights off a disease, it creates antibodies to prevent you from getting sick again. The process of getting a disease, fighting it off and retaining antibodies, is called "natural immunity".
If you got smallpox or cowpox and survived with antibodies, you were considered "vaccinated".
In the modern age, if you get Covid and survive with antibodies, you are not considered "vaccinated". You are still required to get one of the pharma companies' mRNA vaccines.
This makes no sense especially when you consider that smallpox was much deadlier than Covid.
The fact that the shills ignore natural immunity for Covid, while using a story about natural immunity for Smallpox to bolster their arguments for mandatory mRNA Covid vaccines, puts me at a loss.
It's so blatantly hypocritical that it would be funny if it wasn't so stupid.
They’re essentially arguing that inoculation is the same as mRNA therapy, which it is not. What Washington did was controlled infection to create immunity, the mRNA therapy has been proven to not create immunity. We didn’t have chickenpox parties with Covid and then move on.
This is like when leftists try to quote the Bible.
Disproven over three centuries ago, but they're still trying.
George Washington would have totally supported forcing the covid vax on...no one. He would view this as torture. He treated his slaves and his enemies better than these cunts are treating people.
Just comparing smallpox to covid is laughable and should put these people in mental institutions, or a top position in the US Government.
Vaccines were invented in 1796. Unless George Washington had a time machine, he did not have them vaccinated.
While the Revolutionary War began in 1775 and the Declaration of Independence was signed and delivered in 1776, these once-United States were governed under a purely legislative body under the auspices of the Articles of Confederation until the Constitution was ratified in 1788, and the first Senate, House of Representatives, and President took office in the spring of 1789.
George Washington served two terms as President, leaving office to his successor in 1797 after the election of 1796.
He was, in fact, President and Commander in Chief at the time formalized vaccines were invented.
The article says he issued the order troops be vaccinated in 1777, 19 years before formalized vaccines were invented.
