The value of vaccines, especially smallpox vaccines is widely argued. It is reportadly not nearly as contagious as usually reported. Bad effects of the vaccine are in fact reported as worse than not vaccinating. In the case of smallpox, the vaccination is supposed to be effective for a short period of time after exposure.
Here is a site with some information, check the vaccine critics: http://www.whale.to/vaccines.html

Put simply, you are wrong.

Whale.to is NOT a reliable source of information. Many homeopathy sites, enviro-wacko sites, and quackery sites selling vitamin formulations, etc., are out there which make some pretty ludicrous or poorly researched claims.
