"Why do you think it is fear mongering?"

Does anyone have smallpox?

With Anthrax, at least it is a common disease. - In agricultural areas we get about 100 cases per year, usually on the skin, but also a few respiratory cases from cattle trucks on the freeway, or rail cars.

But smallpox has not even been proven to be a legitimate hypothetical threat. - This is fear mongering.

You are misinformed. Small Pox is out there as a bio weapon. Does a terrorist have access? Don't know, but it is possible.

It's not worth fear mongering, though, because it is easy to avpid it, to stave off any potential use of it and that is to do what we used to do to everyone. Simply vaccinate.
