A 26-year-old lab employee accidentally injected herself with a smallpox-related virus during an experiment, US health experts have said.
The woman’s finger swelled up and turned black, before she recovered, according to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
The lab employee, who has not been named, was offered an inoculation against the virus before starting her new job but refused it.

So in adfitiin to violating God knows how many safe handling protocols, this flaming idiot also refused an innoculation.
And her superiors allowed it.
Good frickin gad.
Clock went red. *cough cough*
DANG!
Yes, I had the smallpox vaccine twice.
and it makes a pox that then heals.
You may remember vaccine scars on the arms of people, one or two circles?
Smallpox vaccines.
they were kept covered IIRC
It's horrible. I have this tiny scar on my left shoulder. Ruined my modeling career.
Boys usually got the shot in their upper arm, girls in a more discreet location like between the toes, etc.
The POCK was itchy as all get out, and the scab fell off in about 2 weeks.
Pock: single scarring lesion.
Pocks: many scarring lesions
POX: variant of pocks.
You can’t get “A” pox, unless it’s a curse...
Most people don’t get vaccinated for smallpox anymore, since it has been eliminated “in the wild”. That’s why they offered her the vaccination when she went to work with the virus in a lab.
Cue the song “ don’t fear the reaper” .
All our times have come
Here but now they’re gone
Seasons don’t fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain, we can be like they are
Exactly. So why was she employed?
The worker was offered the vaccine before she started working there, not after she poked herself.
From the excerpted text above: "The lab employee, who has not been named, was offered an inoculation against the virus before starting her new job but refused it."
Laws, yes!
Actually not as rare as you think.
Many such labs deal with stuff that you can’t vaccinate for. And the rest hire people fresh out of college for low wages.
This is why I am not confident we will survive the financializaiton of society. I will miss indoor plumbing the most.

I read that “Routine vaccination of the American public against smallpox stopped in 1972 after the disease was eradicated in the United States.”
So some of us older folks may have already gotten it.
We haven’t been getting vaccinated for smallpox since around 1980.

I read that it stopped in 1972. I was around at that time. I have a round scar on my arm, so I think I got it. My mom’s not here anymore to verify that.
Lemme guess... alcohol was involved.
That’s really stupid! How did she keep her job after refusing the vaccine that would have prevented her from getting the disease. There is no way she was working with smallpox. The protocols for experiments with smallpox virus are quite strict. They have to be performed in laboratories that are rated for bio hazard level 4. They also have to be allowed by both Russia and the US.
For civilians. The US military has never stopped vaccinations against smallpox. All new recruits get vaccinated when they join. After 9/11 members of congressional leadership and the executive branch got vaccinated. There was an attempt to get essential civilians vaccinated after 9/11, but that stopped after several people had heart attacks. It's a rare symptom, but it does happen.
“If it had been a virulent virus she should have been in a level 5 facility and handling procedures where an accident could be avoided.”
Do you think the Fraud undertook such precautions with all the ebola cases he forced upon America?
