The story of Miss Fannie Lent is one that anti-vaccine influencers like to tell. Of course, it isn't true...
Her death certificate says "Pulmonary Tuberculosis", but the contributing cause is "Inherited Lues", which is a pseudonym for Congenital Syphilis.
…Which can also cause skin and bone changes.
I think you are right!
Will update after doing some research on 'inherited lues.'
Thanks.
No problems! I think TB was probably the main factor here though in terms of disfigurement. :-)
Anti-vaccine types think/say that getting any disease after getting a vaccine means the vaccine did it, even if they're entirely unrelated.
