I'm sorry, but following that advice looks like a good way to get yourself killed. Anyone who seriously argues that a vaccine is more dangerous than the disease is clearly ignorant of the whole theory of vaccination.

The more important thing he forgets, though, is that in a bioterror strike, we most likely wouldn't be dealing with normal smallpox; we'd be dealing with weaponized, engineered smallpox, designed for maximum contagion and lethality. The one good argument he could've made was that our current vaccines may prove too weak to handle such a weaponized variety of the disease.

If it's a modified strain the vaccination would probably be useless. I'll take my chances on quarentine

I know I'll take my kids up into the mountains ---or maybe some remote area in Mexico ---away from the cities until they can be vaccinated.

But there are people who shouldn't take the Smallpox vaccine. Find out all the side effects BEFORE you take it.
