Gingerly. Why gingerly? Are they gingerly-cautious about telling us to give our kids the polio vaccine? What the heck is the difference? I don't want my kids' limbs racked and frozen in painful spasms leading to death or lifelong disability, and I don't want my kids' faces blistered with thousands of oozing crusted sores of death. It's a small risk with incredibly great rewards, if you love your kids. What are they afraid of? We don't panic over whooping cough--we get a shot. Criminy, we get shots for chicken pox now, and chicken pox is rarely more than a few days of missing school. I have a smallpox injection scar but you know, I'm willing to get another to be on the safe side. End of story. It's the LIBERALS who don't trust us to make sane decisions with our own health and our own money. Make the smallpox vaccine available; "if you build it, they will come."

"Experts say that the chances that terrorists could lay hands on the smallpox virus — which officially exists now only in government laboratories in the United States and Russia — are remote."

Prior to 911, these same experts woud've scoffed at the likelihood of 4 airliners being hijacked and used to torpedo the WTC and Pentagon...they absolutely would have scoffed. Bottomline...these experts don't know anything. Our nation would be far better off today without all of our so-called medical experts who back in 1972 made the decision to halt smallpox vaccinnation. At that time it looked like a setup to me. I tried everything to get my newborn infant son vaccinnated...absolutely no way. Doctors, clinics, hospitals ALL gave you the "brush off". It was a total kneejerk reaction...the "stock" response was always the same. "The WHO says we don't to vaccinnate anymore...smallpox is dead...yak yak yak." Some of those folks aren't looking too smart right now. I'd sure like to know how many muslims on the staff at WHO??
