But do understand--you won't make the decision for those who don't want the vaccine.

Is this country so far gone that voluntary vaccination is no longer conceivable?

Even if people wish to refuse the vaccine they will be benefitted by others who voluntarily do so. The vaccinated will slow the progress of the disease and reduce the unvaccinated's probability of exposure.

You don't have to be an MD to figure that out but given the Socialist mentality of most MD's these days, it certainly helps.

I'd hate to be in the bureaucrat's shoes who withheld the vaccine after a smallpox attack.

I'd hate to be in Bush's shoes. He would be-and should be-impeached after a successful smallpox attack, successful because he failed to release vaccine which is completely within his discretionary authority to do.

As far as bones's qualifications-I am a board-certified and practicing Infectious Diseases specialist and epidemiologist, and I agree with bones completely.
