"Does the enemy have the virus and will we see it crop up?"

A long time ago we were told that Smallpox had been erradicated, and there was only one small culture in existance in a deep freeze in some lab in Georgia.

Then, later, we were told that there were only two cultures, one in the U.S. and one in Russia. - How did Russia get their culture, and why? - Did 'we' give it to them?

If there is a smallpox outbreak, then we will know that our government has decided that it is time that we had an outbreak.
It is likely that the media have been fed this info to breed panic, so that when the planned outbreak happens, the maximum benefit will acrue to the tyrants that instigated it.

Suppose, on the other hand, an outbreak were to occur in the slums of Cairo. It could fester for weeks before anyone recognized it, and by that time it could be all over the place. It would go on a rapid burn across the globe, and would enter the U.S. by ten thousand different channels. There wouldn't be enough vaccine to cover every outbreak here. Still, we'd probably fare somewhat better than any other country--"devastated" rather than "destroyed".

And this is exactly what the U.N. population control thugs have been planning for decades.

You are certififable!

You are certifiable!

It's tinfoil ... but then I could imagine Kidssinger with his innoculation thinking this might not be a bad thing.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they are not out to get you.

I never heard anything other than that Russia had it all along, but I suppose that doesn't affect your conviction that your government is out to kill you.

A bio-terrorism "expert" said several weeks ago that it is believed 4 states have smallpox and may have been developing it to be used as a weapon: U.S., Russia, North Korea (yikes!), and Iraq. Maybe even Iran, Libya and Syria (thanks to far-flung Soviet scientists). Not a happy thought. For future late-night reading, try this little gem: Biological Weapons .

Smallpox was a worldwide problem- it started in Egypt, I believe, and spread from Egypt to Greece, from Greece to the Roman Empire, from Rome to the rest of the ancient world, along the caravan trails to India and China and Southeast Asia, from Spain and Portugal to the rest of Africa, Central and South America and the Carribean, from England to what would become the US and Canada, etc. In short, everyone had access to it. The Soviets had access to it earlier than we did.

While the World Health Org declared it 'abolished worldwide' some years ago, there have been reports of it in obscure locales, but it was limited in its spread since by then most people have been vaccinated and it wasn't transmitted as readily as it would be if there were plenty of nonimmunized people to carry it.

Agreed. I would also think the World Health Organization would have it also.
