You know, you've made a few posts like this, accusing me of being ill-informed, or stupid. But in this thread all I have done is repost information from the world medical experts, over and over again.
Now, you can tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, but it is up to you to refute the information presented. And you haven't done that.
You are scared to death of smallpox, and it seems you want everyone else to be also. Smallpox is a very dangerous disease, horribly dibilatating with a 30% mortality rate. It is much more contagious than anthrax. And it was responsible for millions of deaths throughout the centuries. The Soviets concentrated on it as a cornerstone of their bioweapons research.
However, because of its etiology, it can be swiftly contained, and because the vaccine can prevent the disease if given soon AFTER exposure, it is uniquely treatable from a public health standpoint. Also, because of the tremendous amounts of money spent on anti-viral drugs since the beginnings of AIDS, there is a real belief that the disease itself can be treated.
You see the glass as half empty, while I see the glass as definitely half full.
