FYI, in most places within this species' range, it is threatened and/or protected. Please don't go and dig them up, both for your sake if you get caught, and the plant's sake!
I wonder how long it would take to scale up agriculture of this plant. I guess there isn't enough of it to treat lots of people now and as u/bcfromfl points out, it's threatened in some areas in the wild.
Unless they have changed the smallpox virus the older generation should be safe. However I don’t put anything past these evil people.
I’m 54 & have the scar. Of course I don’t remember getting vaccinated or the scab.

Always double check the source of the information! Don’t just take one “experts” word!
I started searching for more information on this post, treating with PURPLE PITCHER PLANT Northern Sarracenia Purpurea. Probably because I shop on Etsy a lot those links popped up first for me. (I do buy herbal tinctures on Etsy after researching the seller.)
Looks like there’s other treatments for smallpox also. I have not researched throughly, it appears smallpox is in the Herpes family. I have been getting fever blisters since childhood and sun poison since teens. I like the idea Yarrow is an option, it’s not an endangered plant.

He gives some details about the preparation. It uses chopped roots in alcohol, left to steep in a cool, dark place for 8 days. Pages 70-75.
I don’t understand this because herbal/plant tinctures or extracts are made with either Vodka or Ever Clear alcohol. Most reputable companies offer alcohol free, made with glycerine.

See this company,

Alcohol or non alcohol.
(They have a lot of products but not Sarracenia Purpurea)
This is a reputable company also. I don’t order from their site because they are normally out of stock. Many places sell this company online and local.
Before you purchase natural medicine and supplements please investigate the manufacture. I can only find, this is made in India. I’ve been researching and learning plant medicine going on five years or more. (Lost track of years) Advice experts give, learn the source! Many experts that I’ve followed & in FB Groups don’t recommend products made in India. I understand USA FDA isn’t the most reliable either.
I don’t buy from someone if they don’t reveal the source of the plant. Getting herbs/plants from China and India can be risky.

I bet it will grow fine amongst my girls.

As a carnivorous plant fanatic, it is pretty common and popular among collectors.
It requires constant moist and nutritionally poor soil.
Takes a very long time to grow to a decent size, but it utilizes seeds and rhizomes to spread.
That would suit my soggy garden!
I thought this smallpox thing was just a PSYOP.. just more fear tactics? Man I can't keep up with it all. I hope that Emily Rainey is correct.
