How about getting your advice from a Doctor, not a liberal moron.

So the flu and small pox are the same?

Heck the flu vaccine doesn’t even address the right strain most of the time.

Hope you foget your sarcasm tag....smallpox is multiple times more dangerous than the flu....

Your kid gets the flu....a few tough days with a sick kid...you kid gets smallpox...you will probably bury them....as well as possibility start an epidemic since vast numbers of illegals never got immunized for it...

I think they don’t vaccinate kids or anyone against smallpox anymore.

I confirmed it == they don’t vaccinate against smallpox anymore.

From the CDC website:

“Routine smallpox vaccination among the American public stopped in 1972 after the disease was eradicated in the United States. Until recently, the U.S. government provided the vaccine only to a few hundred scientists and medical professionals working with smallpox and similar viruses in a research setting.

After the events of September and October, 2001, however, the U.S. government took further actions to improve its level of preparedness against terrorism. One of many such measures—designed specifically to prepare for an intentional release of the smallpox virus—included updating and releasing a smallpox response plan. In addition, the U.S. government has enough vaccine to vaccinate every person in the United States in the event of a smallpox emergency. “
