60 Minutes: Iraq Has Smallpox
Newsmax ^ | 10/8/01

Posted on 10/08/2001 6:56:39 AM PDT by truthandlife

60 Minutes reported Sunday night that Iraq has a strain of smallpox.

Smallpox is a deadly and highly contagious virus.

Only two countries were believed to have strains of the virus, the U.S. and Russia.

60 Minutes' Mike Wallace reported this evening that Saddam Hussein acquired some of the smallpox virus from a laboratory in Russia.

Russian scientists have also been helping countries like Iraq and Iran developed biological weapons.

Unfortunately it has been a bit more than a "couple years".

I don't know the exact number of years but my granddaughters ages 12 and 14 had their vacinations to start kindergarten..

You are left without a response, so you slang him.

Yeah, right. You and Illbay are just tooooo smart for me.

I'll be sure to give your opinion the proper consideration it deserves.

Sounds like if we find this stuff, we need to release it back in Russia! Are they sure Russia did this? That means they aided terrorism.

"smallpox"

But, aren't we protected against this! I have heard several doctors lately saying most of America is vacinated against smallpox. If this is so, then what is the threat??

Your childhood immunization is no good now.
Much like a tetnus shot it must be boostered about every 10 yrs.
