I've read the vaccinations previously given are no longer good because of time. How many years is a vaccination good for? I wonder if the previously vaccinated would be less likely to die of the disease? One poster mentioned taking the pus of an infected individual in the latter stages of the disease and exposing it to a cut on the forearm on a non-infected person for a vaccination. I believe this was done historically but it is still quite possible to die if everything is not just 'right'.

How many years is a vaccination good for? That varies from person to person, some people probably have immunity for life, others might not or they might have partial immunity which will help them alot. If you ever had chemotherapy or have AIDS, you likely wouldn't have immunity.

Evidence is that vaccination lasts sometime between 7 and 30 years. No one knows for sure, as there has been no way of knowing.....
Second question, would old vaccination reduce severity of disease if not total immunity. Again, no one knows.
Reason I do not think OBL has released smallpox; hewould have no way of keeping it from Muslims. It would be much more fatal there, as there are few physicians to treat patients, etc. In addition, any attempt to vaccinate large number of Muslims would be picked up by intel.... wouldn't it.....
This all assumes he is rational but dedicated man.

Hi, munk. The most fascinating thing I've heard from the "experts" was one day when a woman doctor thoroughly explained that THEY actually have NO idea if people who were vaccinated in childhood REMAIN SAFE.
There are figures in another messagethread about an outbreak of smallpox, in the early 1900s - I think in Birmingham, and it was found that OLD persons who had been vaccinated in infancy were IMMUNE to smallpox, even at their advanced age.
This doctor made it clear that the experts have NO idea if, indeed, MANY people in the population are actually SAFE, because they have been innoculated.
