They got themselves inoculated. Inoculation is when you chose a vein for the 'doctors' to cut open so they could stuff pus in it. That pus is from a person who has smallpox. That infected pus is meant to make you immune to smallpox. This means you will never have smallpox. After they stuff pus in your vein they sew it which means it leaves a really big scar. The people who got themselves inoculated eventually got smallpox or died after the inoculation because they had a vein cut open.
