Well, well, well - pretty please, would you lovely fellas give this a bump in the night? I think it might be bump worthy, especially considering that we are being told there is no treatment for smallpox...

Interesting medication but it needs a lot more testing.

NOTE: Common name of Cidofovir - "Vistide". A search of the term on this Formulary page reveals another clue as to why the government may not be offering this drug up front - it is expensive. Gilead Sciences offers programs to make the drug available to HIV patients... what, I wonder, are the chances they would make it more available to victims of a massive outbreak of smallpox??
