The World Health Organization is the villian here, if we're talking about hubris. This is a disease that has ravaged humanity for thousands of years and they declared it eradicated after only a single decade of no reported cases. Talk about a Campaign of Infinite Stupidity.

I get very suspicious of why they are pretending it's hard to fill the supplies. It can't be incompetence because the small pox virus and vaccine aren't new issues they are really having to learn about for the first time.
