some people say that drinking beer helped?

Answer:

While there was no cure in medieval times for smallpox (just like today, there is no cure for the infected) except for a healthy constitution and good luck there was a preventative measure. People who worked with cattle often came down with cowpox, a related but milder disease. The majority recovered from cowpox and had an immunity to smallpox after that. This was not noted until 1796 when Edward Jenner, a doctor in Berkeley, Gloucestershire made the connection and initiated inoculation with cowpox to prevent smallpox.
