Small pox ix not eradicated. It lives in labs in the USA and Russia and probably a number of other countries. There is no guarantee that it will not be released either deliberately or accidentally.

Species diversity is either important, or it’s not.
If it’s laudable to drive the guinea worm to extinction for the benefit of mankind, why then is it not ok to allow the delta smelt to “maybe” go extinct so that California farmers can grow more food for man’s benefit?

I think a bit of a stretch comparing Smallpox to this disease. Kinda like comparing ebola to canker sores.

/src on/I am starting a save the Guinea Worm campaign. What right do us humans have to cause this species to go extinct. It is not the worms fault to survive and reproduce it must burrow into humans. When it is ready to release eggs uses acid to punch a hold through the skin. The burning causes the host to go to water releasing the eggs. Where is PETA on this?/src off/

those 126 people (are) carefully isolated, so they shouldn't be able to infect anyone else. Wish we could say the same thing about Jimmy Carter.

released either deliberately or accidentally
with HORRIFIC consequences, as no one is innoculated for it any longer. My age group may be the last with the shoulder scars.

If not for some medieval reprobate mulsim ‘leaders’, polio would have been on that list as well within the last couple of years.
