I am a librarian at a major news organization, and I am trying to
contact survivors of smallpox.

Any survivors willing to be interviewed please email me privately.

Thank you.

Does anyone know why variolation (deliberate infection with smallpox in
cuts in the skin) worked as a vaccine, i.e led to only 1 or 2 vs. 30%
mortality, with immunity?  I believe variola major was used for this.
[This was before Jenner & vaccination.]
