What an idiot you are! First I said nothing about your 30% exposure figures. I cited historical data about vaccination that shows .01% of all vaccinated do die or become permanently injured from the vaccine. Then your figures about vaccination were actually more gruesome, stating that one in ten thousand die from vaccination. That would mean that a vaccinated population of 250 million would have 25,000 deaths without a single case of smallpox discovered!

Then you failed to notice that the 30% mortality rate in the experiment was theoretical and presumed no treatment of the exposed. Truth is that given an outbreak of a weapon of this kind, 30% mortality rates would not be realized. This was a theoretical outbreak with fictional fatalities.

Never did I ever extract 30% fatalities against any number. Why? Because the number was ficticious. Because my point is vaccination, without a single case of the disease will kill .01% of those vaccinated. It would be foolish to vaccinate in anticipation of a non-confirmed threat.

Not ficticious, educated averages from past studies of populations affected that did and did not have immunity--and from insitutions that are expert in the field--but then again, it seems you are the only expert and know more than the CDC, Johns Hopkins , etc? Sad. Take time to actually read some reports.

This is why we need to develop new vaccines that are orders of magnitudes safer and whose effects last longer. If we had vaccines that were 1,000 times safer than the current ones, it would be worthwhile to vaccinate before an outbreak occurs.
