The smallpox vax was discovered by observing that milkmaids had natural immunity, apparently based on their continued exposure to natural infection from cows with a milder cowpox disease. We also observe that in any epidemic, some get sick, others don't. Perhaps someday we'll learn what protects so many, and what makes a few vulnerable. Natural immunities have protected humanity since our beginnings. We should all want that.

BTW, I have read that Merck is practically owned by Bill Gates.
