Forced vaccinations is a bad idea. Here's what needs to be done:

1) Secure our borders
2) Eradicate as many of the terrorists as possible
3) Explain to the Muslims that if they attack us with smallpox (or any biological agent), then Mecca will cease to exist.

We're not gonna do that and you know it. What exactly is the point of this bluster?

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

"Public health leaders stressed Thursday that discussions of any vaccine campaign are preliminary, and that the decision to get the shots would be voluntary."

I respectfully disagree with you... I say we send them and Mecca straight to hell ASAP... end of story, end of problem!

Something just smacks of something weird here. I don't see how it's possible that this amount of vaccine was just suddenly "discovered." With synagogues being attacked in France and who knows what else developing, you have to wonder if the vials were not a discovery but a plant. Yes, yes, of course "they" (government officials) will be testing it. As for me I won't take it.

Forced? Paranoid world view is a lot more dangerous than a vaccine.

Nuking Mecca after a smallpox outbreak in an unimmunized community won't save anyone from smallpox.

Vaccinating in advance will.

People who don't want to be vaccinated don't have to be.

It is irrational in that for decades, ending around 1970, everyone in the US and the world for the most part were vaccinated.

We survived that -- in fact it erradicated the disease.

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
