In the 20 years since WHO documented that small pox has been eradicated, doctors and health departments no longer vaccinate children or adults to prevent small pox. Indeed, the WHO planned to destroy the remaining small pox viruses that have been kept by the CDC in the US and in Novosibirsk in Russia (ASA 94-6 ). Small pox vaccinations also protected against monkey pox (normally transmitted from monkeys to humans) and an unanticipated result has been an increase in monkey pox in humans. Not only is monkey pox increasing, but the number of human-to-human transmissions are also increasing.

So what's really needed is a safer smallpox vaccination that can be routinely administered in areas where monkeypox is endemic in wild animals.

Indeed... amazing!

In spite of WH Directives, the US Public Health people have failed to protect the US population from biological threat due to this class of viruses.
