My grandfather used to keep all sorts of things in the trunk of his car: Fishing gear, duct tape, aluminum foil, a large chain, a defused WWII hand grenade. When we asked why he squirreled away such a random assortment of items, he would shrug and say, "Just in case."

Put smallpox on the endangered species list.

Interesting!

If scientists created it today would the author still want to keep it?

“God created smallpox” just like he created men homosexual.

You are a hater if you disagree.

Twenty miles south-east of Novosibirsk, in Siberia, several dozen concrete buildings have been erected outside the town of Koltsovo. The settlement is ringed with triple rows of barbed wire fences. Video cameras and motion sensors monitor any activity near the wires while soldiers from an elite Russian army unit patrol its perimeter.

This is Russia's State Research Centre of Virology and Biotechnology – or Vector, as it is usually known.

The Soviet Union violated virtually every arms control treaty it ever signed, and produced weaponized strains of smallpox against which normal vaccines provided no protection.

You can bet Putin is right back to doing the same thing.
