The reason we don't have a smallpox problem today is because we killed it.

Killed it dead by vaccinating virtually everyone in the nation for decades until the disease died out. We didn't get rid of it by vomiting more freely or allowing ourselves to have diarrhea to "get rid of toxins" as proponents of the anti-vaccination crowd would like you to believe today. We got rid of it by ensuring that no one around you could get it and spread it. As a result today's children don't have to have a smallpox vaccination unless they go to areas of the world that don't vaccinate, like the Middle East and Africa.
