It is a dilemma. If Saddam knew that everybody in Israel and the US were vaccinated, wouldn't that make him less likely to use smallpox as a weapon? Potentially, that could save the lives of millions of people living in countries which had not stockpiled smallpox vaccine.

Install high-tech devices, such as electronic noses, in public places such as airports and subways to detect signs of immune system activation in people who are exposed but not yet sick. Say what? Does such a device exist?
What happens if it detects someone? Do you immediately arrest them and wrap them in a plastic bubble and move them to a detention camp?
What is being suggested here?

AAPS is on the right track, but their recommendations should have been simpler. Bush 43 needs to intervene in our screwed up vaccine supply system. He needs to have Sec. Thompson and FDA shelve patent rights on the vaccines and to permanently end high priced litigation for "vaccine associated injuries" for smallpox immunization.
Then, they need to tell Wyeth Pharmaceuticals to either ship the vaccine or turn over the vaccine to Aventis, Merck, or GlaxoSmithKline. If Wyeth won't ship, other companies will.
The lack of SP vaccine in our hands is testimony to the poor leadership of Bill Clinton. After all, their administration had eight years to correct the problem and they didn't do it. Bush 43 has had one year to address this issue. As more time elapses without the vaccines, physicians will lose confidence in the Administration's planning.

Do you-all drug warriors think the gov't has the right to prevent people from using this drug? Or are they totally out to lunch?
PS I have no problem with the gov't forcing vaccinations. But preventing them?

These people agree that the government's smallpox plan makes no sense. Whether your explanation is the right one remains to be seen.

You have no problem with the government forcing a person to have something injected into their body?
You are sick.

I had to be vaccinated before I entered school. didn't you?
To: Politicalmom
Dittos..........first we have the military guys quitting in droves because the anthrax vaccine has caused so many health problems, we have the small pox vaccine admittedly fatal to some.........and the sheeple are lining up to get theirs...........aaaaarrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Q: If it makes sense to vaccinate everyone AFTER a potential attack, why doesn't it make sense
if the attack really is at all possible to do the vaccinations now as a precaution?
Either we need to prepare for an outbreak or we don't. I thought the reason the vaccine was tucked away was because the potential of the disease outbreak had been eradicated. If the disease is back, bring back the vaccine!!!!
To: bonesmccoy
Bush 43 needs to intervene in our screwed up vaccine supply system. If the Feds would *stop* intervening we might have the freedom to buy tetanus or smallpox vaccines today.
To: OldFriend
You simply can't compare the smallpox vaccine to the antrax vaccine. Remember, everyone used to be routinely given smallpox vaccine.
To: Tumbleweed_Connection
Who the hell are these people? They are talking sense, and speaking the truth. It must be stopped!

It would be far easier to detect the biological agent in question, and the technology is coming along nicely in that area....

Do you-all drug warriors think the gov't has the right to prevent people from using this drug? Or are they totally out to lunch? Drug warriors believe a person's body is first and foremost Federal property. No substances may be introduced into it without the government's approval.
PS I have no problem with the gov't forcing vaccinations. But preventing them?
Well, in that case you have something in common with the Drug Warriors. People *will* die if we vaccinate. If the vaccinations are forced upon the people, the feds will be responsible for the murder of a small number of Americans.
Why not make it voluntary or has that concept been completely forgotten in modern Amerika.
