Today in Labor History January 18, 1788: The First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay, Australia, with 736 convicts from Great Britain. It took over 250 days to reach its destination. The penal colony became the first European settlement in Australia. Mary Bryant, with her husband, children and 6 other convicts escaped the colony and eventually returned to England. Many believe the British deliberately brought people carrying smallpox on the voyage in order to decimate the indigenous population.

@NatureMC aye, when I was a small child you often saw people badly affected by #polio in the UK, too. By the time I was an adult it had more or less completely disappeared from view – which I'm afraid must mean that a lot of the people who had been affected must have died.
Vaccination is SERIOUSLY good medicine – horrible diseases, including polio and #Smallpox, have ceased to be problems.
Happy Smallpox Eradication Day!

Today in Labor History November 30, 1803: The Balmis Expedition left Spain to vaccinate millions against smallpox in Spanish America and Philippines. The mission lasted from 1803 to 1806. The Spanish brought smallpox to the Americas, decimating the indigenous populations. Edward Jenner pioneered the vaccine in 1798. At that time, about 400,000 Europeans died each year from smallpox. And it was the cause of one-third of all cases of blindness in Europe. In the 1770s, a smallpox epidemic wiped out 30% of the Indigenous peoples of the Puget Sound region. And overall, some historians estimate that smallpox wiped out over 90% of all indigenous people of the Americas, in one of the largest genocides in history.

When #WHAuden invited Austrian friends to come to #NYC in the mid-1960s, he reminded them to bring a vaccination certificate.

www.independent.co.ukIsraeli Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu spoke before a joint session of Congress this week. Among other things protestors did in DC, they spray painted graffiti on a monument to Christopher Columbus, including the words, “Hamas is coming” in large red letters. In colossally poor taste, Christopher Columbus replied, “bring it, I’ll bring the small pox.”
