In a major shift in public health policy that underscores government concerns about bioterrorism, federal health officials are gathering enough smallpox vaccine to inoculate the entire country and are considering a widespread vaccination campaign.

By December, according to public health leaders in Washington D.C., the U.S. government will have more than 100 million doses of the vaccine in hand, an amount they say could be effectively diluted to make the shots available to everyone in the country. An inoculation effort using the sometimes risky vaccine would be new to millions of Americans born after the United States stopped offering the shots in 1972.

Doing great! It is a very stormy day, hail and thunder. This is BTW considered a very bad Omen by the Local Arabs. They hate rain. It did quiet down the fighting to virtualy nothing.

The house by house search and arrest thingie is going on anyway. Just less shooting at the Jews. Terrorists don't like getting wet I guess. What an army, they blow themselves up, attack children, fire their guns into the air, shoot from the middle of the street, fire light arms at tanks and won't fight in the rain. I think they call that LOOSERS...

I sure hope this works, the next stage after this, if the attacks go on, is gonna be a big can of whoopass. Don't want to see thousands dead in the streets. I like arabs, when they are not Islamics. Death sucks.

The chains that bind the Palestinians are being broken. Will they be smart enough to come to their senses? Or will they find more blood thirsty leaders to lead them to the brink?

You are extemely irrational illogical and uninformed.

These hippy counter cultural ideas are very harmful to society.

You also act as the boy who cried wolf in that legitimate concerns over vaccines will be dismissed when innundated with your crackpot cries of wolf.

Again, so many have benefitted so greatly by the vaccine mediated eradication of diseases that you now take the general health that we have, which is the height of human acheivement in all our history, for granted.

This is a KOOK post.

What's next? Food storage and survival equipment for the family?

I say BS to that.

The government will take care of me and my family.

Well then I shall place you on my ignore list and hope that you are never hurt by a vaccine the way my family has been. I will also encourage you to read the threads before replying in the future. Seems to me that there are plenty of people who feel that vaccines are harmful although you seem to have overlooked this somehow.

Best of luck

The second shot didn't take so apparently the origional 20 years before was still effective.

I really didn't have any intentions of getting the second one but in 1958 when I went racing in Mexico (sold the race car to the mexican that we bet)and didn't return for a month and a half customs at LAX wouldn't let me back into the country without giving it to me.

At this point 40+ years later I presume that it is still effective since the first one lasted 20 years.

If original vaccine, I would too. I am pretty sure I was born right around time they stopped routinely giving it.However I would only take it if original vaccine and not some modified improved version- I can’t see them vaccinating using the original. I don’t trust them

Those days are long gone unfortunately. And unfortunately I just missed smallpox vaccine back in the day. However I will never get any vaccine again. Period. They are moving away from traditional vaccines that saved lives, to new engineering that kills and harms for every vaccine

No I think the vaccine lasts only 10 or 20 years. I remember my mother’s scars from boosters

I’d say the way to determine ‘viability’ is for all those ‘government authorities’ saying it’s okay to take it first.

Ronald Reagan’s famous Nine Words. Remember them.

I've been vacinated for smallpox twice, i'm not getting it again.

Same. This all sounds like a switcheroo trick to inject people with the mRNA Frankenshot that gives you AIDS instead.

If smallpox returns as a bioweapon it is likely to be genetically modified to make prior vaccines ineffective. The Soviets developed a smallpox-Marburg virus bioweapon in the ‘80s. It would be more like that.

Muslims are also not the primary threat to us. Our compromised, globalist and Chinese-influenced, government is.
