US Ebola fears grow

"Though no longer found in the human population smallpox is considered a bio-warfare threat."

I'm glad something has shaken into lucidity those geniuses who declared smallpox conquered.

Not only is it a terrorist threat, but there's always the possibility that the body of someone who died of smallpox could be disinterred.

The population should be vaccinated.

Which would do nothing if the smallpox virus had been genetically modified.

At $50 a dose for ~350M people, that’s...$17B And $50 a dose is very cheap for vaccines.

For one virus.

We will run out of money long before we run out of scary viruses to vaccinate against.

FWIW, I said this days ago.

It´s us. We are the reason for the panic. We vote for it, educate our kids with it, watch it on TV, “like” and “follow” it, and listen to its music. Here´s anecdotal evidence; my wife´s hospital is caddy corner to Dallas Presby, home of the ebola incident. The docs at her hospital left Presby to start a new, less screwed up system. So, they know Presby and keep in contact with former colleagues. Well, according to the old Presby docs, the thirty-something Dallas Presby nurse´s answer to the CDC was, “He said he was from Liberia, not Africa.” So, next time you want to believe the tin foil hat conspiracy theory answer, remember instead that we ARE that stupid and our stupidity is why we create the cases for panic.
