The government is also negotiating to buy at least 70 million doses recently discovered in a drug company's freezers.

That statement amazes me. "Gee, look what we just found in the back of our freezers...70 million doses of smallpox vaccine." And I thought I was bad. In the back of my freezer, I probably have some hamburger patties from the summer of 1998. And of course there is this package of Oncor's Salisbury Steaks that I've just never gotten around to eating.

As for the smallpox vaccine. I'd take it. And I'd encourage my wife and kids to take it too.

I'm with you Sam, in fact I have been most annoyed that it is not offered to the public long before this, as a matter of health care CHOICE.

The vaccinations which the health care/school Gestapo wants to force on our children include such ridiculas pallatives as the Hepatitus B Vaccine, designed for high risk groups as prostitutes, IV drug users, and first line care givers.

Oh sure, that description fits most five year olds.

But if you weigh out the really life threatening scenarios, an intentionally released smallpox epidemic is a real possibility.

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
