I'm sure that incident chaffed at Jo, and so when he directed his "Saints" to settle in the mosquito infested swamp of Commerce, they all got sick.. and out comes the triumphant Jo who goes about and heals everyone he touches, even giving a hanky to someone who used that to heal people.
Prophet vindicated! The do-over worked. Yet.... if one simply studies the contemporary sources for this miraculous healing binge of the Prophet Jo, there's nothing there. Here is the page at lds.org,

If you notice the accounts of "miraculous" healings are from Young and Woodruff, but in their original diaries there is nothing. The Young quote they claim from his diary is from the Manuscript History made years later and Woodruff's account was documented years later. As for the rest, you see that they all claim there was a lot of laying on of hands, but it was hit and miss if anyone got better. The real truth is in this general entry made by Brigham Young, probably closer to the event:
“July 1839.—President Joseph Smith had taken the sick into his house and door-yard until his house was like an hospital and he had attended upon them until he was taken sick himself and confined to his bed several days.
