I just received this "official" response via email from the CDC Yawn...---What are your thoughts on this?
Your inquiry is being answered by The CDC Public Response Service.
The last exposure of smallpox was in 1978 and it was in a laboratory setting. There has not been a case of smallpox in over 20 years. Any confirmed case of smallpox would generate immediate worldwide response.
Thank you for contacting the CDC. We hope this has been helpful.
If you have any additional questions about bioterrorism, please call the CDC Public Response Service at 1-888-246-2675 or visit the CDC Bioterrorism web site at: www.bt.cdc.gov .
Please feel free to reply with any additional questions to: cdcresponse@ashastd.org.
A big blow-off, aka form letter :-) We found another reported "outbreak" of "smallpox," this one in India:
[hlth] Shift in U.S. Smallpox Vaccination Policy Recommended (2 pages)
You'd think the CDC would at least show a smidgen of interest?
Various PTB have publicly proclaimed that a single case of smallpox, anywhere in the world, would constitute an immediate international security threat.
An immediate international medical emergency.
A crime of unprecedented proportion.
A real danger of civilization destruction.
But how are they REALLY going to handle it? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Who knows. All this has its odd points.
Sunflower, sure do appreciate your efforts!
Don't stop.
