For Carter to say this..well it’s like the pot calling the kettle..not-white
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.
I didn't know that Jimmy Carter wasn't expected to live much longer...
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?
Sorry chief ... can’t come in today .... yeah ... Guinea worm ... guess I got it from Fred Monday .... I dunno ... a week, maybe ... yeah .... K .... bye.
I’ve got some bad news for Mr. Carter.
I just got back from an appointment with my doctor, and...
...you guessed it...
...it’s guinea worm, alright...
Guinea worm?
Well I’ll sleep a lot better tonight!
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/
Wish we could say the same thing about Jimmy Carter.
If not for some medieval reprobate mulsim ‘leaders’, polio would have been on that list as well within the last couple of years.
"Never mind that s--t, here comes Mongo!"
I’m not buying it. The parasite is ingested from contaminated water and they aren’t eliminating the contaminated water.
Now if we could only eradicate that disease known as Jimmy Carter.
Is that a disease or infestation?
Smallpox is NOT eradicated. It still sits in the bio warfare labs .... waiting.
First they came for the Guinea Worm, but I did not speak out because I was not a Guinea Worm...
Smallpox has not been eradicated. At the very least, it is alive and well in a test tube somewhere within the confines of a secure US Gubmint facility.
There is a particularly nasty freeper who, by some unknown power, condemned me to hell for supporting vaccinations. I wonder what said freeper has to say about this. There are a lot of things the government screws up, but I don’t consider the elimination of Polio one of them.
