Oh, the arrogance. Failure of this country to take the side of caution re smallpox will change the course of history for the entire world.
Oh, come on..
We don't HAVE a domestic outbreak and quite frankly all this jumping at shadows does more harm than good.
If people want it and they want to pay for it themselves, then let them do so. Till then fedgov has no right nor reason to go around giving everyone shots.
You get the vaccination BEFORE the outbreak - after is too late. Inform yourself. This is as important as a strong military and I bet you support that. This is war on the cheap waged against civilians by those who don't have the technology to wage a conventional war.
