I am willing to pay $100 each for my family to receive a smallpox vacination. I last received one in 1980, courtesy of Uncle Sam, and know that my immunity has since worn off.

My children and grandchildren have no protection, I would willingly pay for all of them, not trusting that this dread disease only survives in two secure research labs.

Actually, there's some question about how long immunity lasts. A lot of scientists think it might last longer in at least some people than previously believed.

Small comfort if you're actively worried about being exposed, of course...
