This article (the lead on Drudge this morning) caught my eye, as I am currently reading The Demon in the Freezer, a 2003 book about Smallpox. He says in passing that North Korea may have gotten some of the USSR’s genetically modified Smallpox. It is horrifying stuff, hardened against all antibiotics and with a likely death rate of 90% plus. http://www.amazon.com/The-Demon-Freezer-True-Story/dp/0375508562/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1361641772&sr=1-1

That book is a great recommendation, ty!
I remember reading hot zone years ago and look forward to checking this out as well.

Smallpox is caused by the Variola virus, so antibiotics have never been useful against it, "hardened" or otherwise. Your comment, or perhaps your source, makes no sense.
