Smallpox is a disease, and is not "popular" anywhere.
thyrod vaccine or tablets
No.
You would die around two weeks after infection, the first week you are rather well, and can't infect anyone, but after that your health goes downhill until death finally meets you. The only cure is Vacination, nothing else, so protect yourself from it so you don't get it.
No.
Smallpox originated in "the Old World" (Eurasia and Africa) and was brought to "the New World" (the Americas) by Europeans. So, basically, no. US troops didn't "bring smallpox to Europe" because it was already there.
The reason we were able to "erradicate" (said that way because we have stores in labs) smallpox was because the human serotype is only able to affect humans. The smallpox vaccine is made from cowpox, which is similar enough to smallpox to provide immunity, but cannot infect us.

Some of the most famous people that you may be aware of who had smallpox were US presidents George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. Soviet leader Joseph Stalin also had smallpox.
