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.

Same thing. I don't have to back up my dismissal of your billion death fear mongering claims with facts any more than I have to do the same with trilateralists, Y2K survivalists or those that claim our economy is about to collapse. They all find authority figures to lend indirect support for their claims as well. The fear mongering nature of what little I've seen of the book you use as a starting point for debate and a few of your early posts put you in that same category. I have no desire to dissect and authenticate his sources when the subject is presented in such a flagrantly one-sided manner that hypes it to the edge of believability in order to increase sales.
