This is awakening a sort of core memory in me. It was some vaccination wasn't it?
No. People who are older than that have a smallpox vaccination scar on the shoulde from the vaccines in 1958-1977.
The arm thing is just an urban myth and plays on confirmation bias. Almost everyone have a freckle there for no good reason.
However.... Mexicans actually have a tuberculosis vaccination mark on the arm, but most other countries didn't need to vaccinate against that.
That's how these myths spread, part truth+loads of bullshit.
Nah, I got the BCG back in the 80s, and I'm in the UK. So definitely not just Mexicans. That is one nasty vaccination, by the way. Do not recommend the experience.
None of us 1971 kids got the smallpox scar. Discontinued in 1972 (US). Whew.
Yeah it’s just because was in the sun a lot in high school because I was a lifeguard back then lol
