Why do they want to stockpile the vaccine? Why don't they resume vaccinations? Do they want to wait until a million people come down with the disease first? Is this our government protecting us?

My understanding is that they'll try to dilute the 15 million doses currently in the stockpile into 75 million.

Since there aren't enough vaccinations for everyone, these will be held as a contingency if there are smallpox outbreaks anywhere. In such a case, they'll try to create a firewall around the epidemic with rapid-response vaccinations.
