In the replies, someone responds with the usual “But a vaccine wasn’t invented until 1796” (note Franklin says inoculation). But when someone puts up a document talking about it, his reply is “it’s not good unless it’s from the Library of Congress.” Wanna bet this guy doesn’t reference the Library of Congress for stuff he spreads.

ALSO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN - “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the smallpox taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation. This I mention for the sake of the parents who omit that https://t.co/3AbxBGwDIR
