The entire population isn't at extreme risk in the event of a smallpox attack.

Great news! Its just the children at risk. All of the children.

I'm not worried about me, just my son.

Hey, I've got a 14 year-old daughter, and I'm not unconcerned. But this also makes it less likely that we would transmit smallpox to our kids if we're exposed. If there's an outbreak in my area, she won't leave the house until the CDC has vaccinations on the ground, which will probably be within 48 hours of a confirmed case. That's what the 75 million doses will be held in reserve for, to target infected communities. They plan to come in like a SWAT team with the vaccinations.

This isn't perfect news, but it's very good news.

I am *not* the children.
My friends are *not* the children.
Their wives are *not* the children.
Their boyfriend are *not* the children.
Their girlfriends are *not* the children.
Their employees are *not* the children.
Their co-workers are *not* the children.
Their grocery clerks are *not* the children.
Their nurses are *not* the children.
Their chefs are *not* the children.
Their teachers are *not* the children.

Their kids, however, *are* the children.

All are unvaccinated against smallpox.

Enough with The Children already. It's downright offensive and smacks of age-ism and generational arrogance.

Were you part of the generation that decided we could go without the mandatory vaccinations because you had vanquished it?
