500 Million, But Not A Single One More

This video is an animation of 500 Million, But Not A Single One More, by Jai. You can read the original post by Jai here: Some notes for the curious about the cult of Sopona, the god of Smallpox of the Yoruba people: When we were getting feedback on the storyboard from Jai, he mentioned that there is an actual god of Smallpox: Sopona ( ). We decided to use it to lightly inspire our design by adding a mask similar to the ones found in wooden statues representing the god. Apparently, in Nigeria there were cults of Sopona that strongly opposed vaccination. At the bottom-left paragraph at this link ( ), there’s an interesting story. Dr. O. Sapara ( ), a Nigerian physician, infiltrated “the sopono cult“, described as a large secret society in western Nigeria that used to cause smallpox outbreaks to generate clients to “cure“ and to follow-up on blackmails. Sapara infiltrated the society and helped the government ban the cult as an illegal organization. Jai rightly mentioned the priests of the cult as a striking example of the most hollow humans allying with the enemy.
