YMMV / Codename Kids Next Door S 4 E 11 Operation MAURICE

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: The plot accurately reflects the history of chickenpox, albeit with fantasy methods substituting for scientific. Chickenpox was indeed once a common childhood infection that it was assumed most if not all children would have to suffer through for 2 weeks. Then, in 1995, the vaccine was developed and licensed, reducing the rate of infected victims by 92% in the United States alone. Just like Maurice wanted, and achieves when he destroys the cannon, real children are now safe from the chickenpox.
