Amazing, they declared Smallpox eradicated and stopped giving the vaccine. Now this arises. So utterly unpredictable!

Didn’t they ever stop to think “If we end Smallpox vaccination, we could have a Monkeypox epidemic?”

I agree. Over confidence ruled the day I guess.

The Small Pox vaccine was one of the safest with the fewest report reactions which were allergic reactions.

It was a routine vaccine.

Now it might be needed to return but we’ll see.

Heard there was a Polio case in New York, possible involving an illegal alien.

Some people have been refusing to get their children vaccinated against Polio for almost 20 years now………perhaps that vaccine will need a come back too.

Let’s hope for the best. We have old school medicine for the new old stuff coming back.

Scientists have warned exactly that since the mid 1980s
