That's my question, too. Often--not always, but often--when the same theme appears many times, it's as though someone is trying to prepare the populace for something that's about to happen. I pray that is not the case with smallpox. And I won't even get into how angry I get every time I think how simple it would have been to prevent something like smallpox, if only they hadn't gotten naively overconfident and quit making the vaccination.
Yeah, that was REAL intelligent.
