Washington took the gamble of inoculating his troops against smallpox, despite the fear and uncertainty surrounding the procedure at the time. He believed that the risk of infection was greater than the potential adverse effects of inoculation. By exposing his men to a weakened form of the virus, he aimed to build immunity and ultimately protect his army from a disease that had already devastated many soldiers. This bold decision ultimately proved successful, significantly reducing smallpox outbreaks within his ranks.

Who is James foster gamble?

Foster Gamble, the producer of "Thrive: What On Earth Will It Take?", claims he spent his entire life trying to figure out what has caused the staggering agony and deprivation on planet earth. That is a blatant lie. Foster Gamble knows the cause. He has known the cause his entire life...because his filthy rich, consciencless family helped cause the staggering agony and deprivation on planet earth.So who is Foster Gamble and where did he get the big money to produce "Thrive"? Does the name "Gamble" ring a bell? How about the name Proctor & Gamble? For those who have never heard of Proctor & Gamble, it is a Fortune 500 American multinational corporation.Foster Gamble, the creator/host/co-writer/producer of "Thrive" is an heir and direct descendent of James Gamble of Procter and Gamble. This privileged movie producer was a Princeton frat boy and his partner is a former journalist for Newsweek International which merged with The Daily Beast in November 2010.

No one can say when. There wasn't any computers to take notes on her diseases. If someone said I had smallpox, they wouldn't write down, *random date* "May 30, 2005 Cori has smallpox." Right?! They would just treat me. Sorry, that can't be answered unless you saw Clara Barton everyday in-person!
