I understand that the vaccinia vaccine is still around, still given, the CDC only has 15 million right now. I would much rather see my kids with one scar than thousands (if they're lucky and don't die) from smallpox so it's worth that risk to me. If smallpox does break out, I'll start looking for at least one dose of the vaccine if I have to go to Mexico to find it, or else I'll find someone who will share their blister and I'll vaccinate my kids and myself on my own from it. It's a live virus so there is that ability we have to do that.

How would "finding a blister to share" immunize a person?

I have tons of questions about this subject, sorry. I have a toddler who underwent a kidney transplant/reimplement, does that make her immuno deficient or whatever its called?

Hi Fitz, I hear you loud and clear. My current understanding is that the President has to order the CDC to alter the current federal policy (restricting distribution of these vaccines). This all goes to show how centralized Klinton-era healthcare has clearly imperiled our entire nation. If the free-market had a chance to work and Clinton didn't attempt to LIMIT our ability to deliver these medicines, then I should be able to order the vaccine and administer it to your children. But, Hillary is still a Senator. Do I sound upset? Darn right I am!

I have a small scar on my wrist,I suspect was a "share a blister"when one of my kids were done..but I dont know how effective that would be as a mode of immunity

That will give you smallpox. You will infect yourselves. The vacine is a Weakened Virus the full strength virus just gives you smallpox.

That's a good idea, too.

Smallpox virus is variola, not vaccinia.

Vaccinia virus (cowpox) confers huuman immunity to smallpox, which is why it is used.
