"If you were standing outside during bad weather, and numerous leaders in the field of weather said that their was a significant risk of a tornado"

I'm sorry, but one really doesn’t have to read beyond that sentence to see where you're going. I don’t deny that there's a risk of heavy casualties. But if there were a few charlatans out peddling end of the world tornado scenarios for $19.95 plus shipping and handling while most of the meteorological establishment feels somewhat prepared, you'd say it's snake oil.

Personally, I think you have a tenuous grasp on reasoning at best or your wouldn't have led with that analogy. The danger's there, but there's another side that you won't acknowledge. "There's none so blind as those that will not see". You'd be doing yourself a favor to list the contra indicators. I bet you'd be challenged to list 5 reasons that everything Preston's supplementing his living off of will fail to materialize. I could list 10. Is it because I'm suborn, brilliant, or just an ordinary reasonable guy? You decide for yourself. Good luck.

Up until your last post I thought you were actually interested in a dialog.

If you disagree with me that is fine. But you have to backup your opinion with something. The only thing so far you have talked about is the vaccine and the procedure of ring vaccination. I have responed to those. If you wish to disagree, do so with data/fact.

Preston (the author) is not making any claims, per se. He is quoting living people who are, literally, the first people called (and were called) when a bio-attack occurs. USAMRIID received the anthrax from the letter attack. They were the very first one's to analyize it. They ARE the authority. Their top people in smallpox are "gravely" concerned. Preston, in this capacity, is a reporter relaying their comments.

Disagree? Fine. But do so with data and fact. Your consistant response to any data is simply "fear-mongering! clicken little!".

Want to discuss if smallpox is available to hostile people? Do so.

Want to discuss if smallpox can be bio-engineered with simple knowledge? Do so.

Want to discuss if smallpox can be delivered as a weapon? Do so.

Want to discuss whether vaccines will work? Do so.
