      The smallpox vaccine causes an immune reaction in your skin that leaves a small scar.

    2. Yeah I had to get this when I went to Korea. 

      They poke you in the arm a couple times with a needle covered in the small pox virus, a weakened version apparently.

      Then you get this nasty bubble on your arm for a week and it falls off.

      I think Gen X was the last generation to have these. Not even sure all of them have it.

      In the UK these were called the bcg vaccine, can’t recall what it stood for, they’re discontinued.

      They blistered and were sore, it was common tradition for older kids to punch your arm to make them worse, which contributed to the terrible scaring.

      I like how when people don’t understand something, they assume it’s a conspiracy

      Or God. It’s one of the two

      Some countries (Antipodean) phased these out in the late 80’s, so I never got vaxxed for TB. I think it’s because they thought they had eradicated it in our country. (NZ). However, migration and global travel has brought it back with a vengeance-so babies now get vaccinated again. At this stage I am not immune.

      “ The smallpox vaccine is given by a special technique. It is not administered as a „shot“ in the way that most other vaccines are. It is given using a two-pronged (bifurcated) needle that is dipped into the vaccine solution. When removed, the needle holds a droplet of the vaccine. The needle is used to prick the skin a number of times in a few seconds. The pricking is not deep, but it will cause a sore spot and one or two drops of blood to form. The vaccine usually is given in the upper arm.
      If the vaccination is successful, a red and itchy lesion develops at the vaccine site in 3 to 4 days. In the first week, the lesion becomes a large blister, fills with pus, and begins to drain. During the second week, the lesion begins to dry and a scab forms. The scab falls off in the third week, leaving a small scar.”

      My parents were born in 58 and they have these scars too. I was born in 80s and dont have it.

    9. It’s the scar after the reaction to tuberculosis vaccine – it makes scab. nothing consoiracy related here

    10. 1898. Tengo una. Mi hijo ya tiene su cicatriz. Casi todo mexicano tiene una. 😌

      I have this for the TB vaccine. It’s not administered with a regular needle, the thing looked like a gun. Hurt like hell

      Funny enough I was born in Mexico 1991 and the scar was a way to authenticate that you were actually born in Mexico. I call it my „Made in Mexico“ stamp instead of „Made in China“ like most things 😂

    13. My mother was anti vax, so I never got one. Apparently it was mandatory to go to school, but somehow I made it through 12 years of education at 6 different schools without it. 🤔

      My mom has one, smallpox vaccine I think she got while in the army.

      Smallpox vaccine. It’s a requirement in the military to this day to have one before deployment. I got it 2 times in the same spot. (2 dif deployments)

    16. The smallpox vaccine was administered with a bifurcated needle onto the skin and the immune response was to cause this scarring.

      I got this before I deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. They told me it was small pox vaccine.

    18. looks like smallpox. it causes a huge blister that heals weirdly. Mine got better over time, leaving a small scar that I can’t see with the arm hair around it.

    19. I hope everyone now knows it was made during smallpox vaccination. When I saw this post, I wanted to throw a random fact which I read long back – smallpox is the only disease humans have ever removed completely, and only ONE lab in Russia and the USA has the virus sample as of now.
