https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/smallpox-inoculation-revolutionary-war.htm
During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.

Wasnt planned, but I think maybe the response was. I think trump thought more of us would die than did. They seem to not like us old folks on SS. I think maybe the first thought from republicans is that maybe more old farts will die and they can keep social security going while phasing it out for the younger ones, giving it the appearance of leaving it alone while sabotaging it for the young.
