The claim that 99.999% of people rejected the smallpox vaccine is fabricated.

And one of the interesting things that I've learned on this episode, Is that Alex has made up that stat. That sounds right. I know I talk about this a lot because it's such good news that in Connecticut, one article talked about they ordered 20,000 health care workers and police to show up to get shots in a two-day period. Four people showed up. So, again, I haven't done the specific math, but if you've got 20,000 people and four people show up to get the shot in one state, Connecticut, I mean, that's 99.999 something. If you've got the ten largest cities with millions they wanted to vaccinate, with the medical workers, the firemen, the police, millions of people in the ten largest cities, well, they refused. 296 did it. So, somebody can calculate the math on this. This is not how stats work, and all Alex is saying is that he made up that number that he cites as the rate of vaccine refusal. Yep, 100%.
