We are watching a program about an epidemic of smallpox that started in New york city. Pretty interesting to see the way the producers put it together.

I watched the first half, though it boring, considering it was a fictitious documentary.

Yes, my bad on the typo. I tried using Word to format and spell check caught me. I did not reproof it later. I guess a big OOPS is in order.

Not in a box, and not with lox, and now, not even on Fox.
I saw the trailers for it and said - naaah! Besides, I'm watching FOOTBALL!

I was in the country of Oman from 02 Nov-03 Apr...I was vaccinated and we vaccinated close to 1000 troops and we didn't have any problems. Just one ugly blister and a roll off scab........

It is on Fox, coming from a box. I don't care for lox.

It was a good show other than the fact that the scenario was implausible and the fact that the bad guy was a...Huh, Huh, Huh, ... CHRISTIAN! It then became a bunch of crap.

Maybe they'll re-run it. Sounds interesting.

They have Al Sharpton doing a bit about how the gov't is keeping vaccines from black folk. You so know this would happen!

Just started on the pacific coast. I think it is very well done. I don't understand the symptoms they are describing but hey what do I really know about smallpox except that I am vaccinated.

Yes, and one of the promo voices sounds very much like a certain soon-to-be-retired CBS news anchor, which makes it even an more humorous statement.

It was shown in England in 2002 and was filmed in 2001. I guess they re edited it for US.

I haven't seen the show but I want to point out - whether relevant or not - that smallpox has been eradicated* and all sensationalism about its potential resurrection is claptrap.
*excepting the inert, frozen samples at Vektor and the CDC
