Since the father of the very notion of infectious agents and the possibility of vaccines wasn't born until 1822 (Louis Pasteur, for those who have forgotten your science history facts, which is completely separate from science facts, which is itself completely separate from science. Now where was I? Oh yeah), the history of vaccination isn't quite as old as the United States. Heck, we had slaves and still didn't have the slightest notion about viruses or vaccines.
I'm done teasing you. All in fun. Your points are well taken and valid, imo.
