There is an URGENCY to Innoculate against SmallPOX.

SmallPox is a very horrible illness. There is no cure. Once you get the initial wart-like pustules there is an almost 100% chance of death. It is a slow and agonizing death. The innoculation for this illness only lasts ten years so a person must have a booster every decade or so.


The last such innoculation was in the early 1970's. It is highly contagious. Once contracted it lies dormant in the body up to 30 days. Once it spreads, it spreads in "waves" each wave of deaths increasing exponentionally. Then, followed by a period of "quiet".


The only action is to contain the afflicted region and let the people trapped in that region die.
SMALLPOX

A link to those pictures, or a warning would have been nice.

Not what I've heard: "...the prototypical smallpox disease due to variola major causes mortality of 3% and 30% in the vaccinated and unvaccinated, respectively."

Is your effort to intensify the terrorism effect succeeding? Have your handlers sent to you any more graphic materials to be splattered all over the net for visual assistance in the terrorism campaign? Agitprop! Hysteria is your friend I see! What a creep you're turning out to be. Yeah, I know you've been a member since the beginning. What persuasion do you serve with your hysterical posting of late?

Every time I see those pictures posted, I wonder where they came from. Surely they are chosen to portray the horror of the most severe cases, among malnourished and health-compromised populations. Not to take anything away from the seriousness of smallpox, but we don't need to assume that this is how all victims end up.

Not so at all.
