This article was disturbing two years ago, and important now. Among other things, it describes the very large and active Soviet smallpox weaponization program. Very well written, though perhaps slightly hyerbolic in places.

Not that it makes any difference, I suppose, but malaria has certainly killed more people than any other infectious disease in history. Why malaria should be so consistantly overlooked is a mystery: it still kills 2 to 3 million people each year and is hands down the most deadly infectious disease in the world today. FWIW, I'd bet that disintery is the second most deadly disease.

Reading this article and thinking about smallpox as a real threat today...while alternately watching the Moody Blues (as very young men) singing "Go Now" (on VH Classic Rock Network) ...is just TOO sad.
Things used to be so much simpler. Our poor children.
