I don't put my faith much in government or organizations like WHO because I don't like the approach they're taking so far on this. I don't believe them when they say they can make enough vaccine by the summer (because there isn't anything special they have to do to that virus they make it from), I think it's stupid to wait for outbreaks and then believe the doctors and nurses (entire hospital) who've been exposed will not take the disease home to their own kids and spread it further through the population. It's just like after 1993 when the WTC was hit the first time, there was no reason for them to ignore everything and allow it to be hit again.
Where I am genuinely confused? Well...
If cowpox vaccinations can successfully prevent smallpox from occuring in humans.... WHY is there any shortage of vaccine? Can't it be made like in weeks from cowpox strains? The cowpox strains were how people protected themselves from smallpox in times long ago.
