No - It's very much alive. This is why the decision to vacinate at all is such a big one. Once you start vacinating anyone, you put the virus back out into the general population.

Manure.

There are exactly two types of vaccinations: Live culture and dead culture.

In dead culture, just a portion of the virus is used, usually the outer coat, so that your body will "learn" that chemical signature and develop antibodies which will also be effective against any arrival of the "real" virus.

In live culture, a *crippled* form of the real virus is used, one which reproduces in the body, but lacks the ability to cause the original dangerous disease. It just multiplies harmlessly around in your body for a bit until your body develops effective antibodies and wipes it out, again leaving you with lasting protection against any future similar infection.

*NEITHER* form of vaccine "puts the [actual disease-producing] virus out into the population".

Period.

If the smallpox vaccine they're manufacturing is the dead form, there's no issue at all of needing "bandages".

If the vaccine is the live form, the *only* thing that could spread person to person if the infected injection site is not properly covered is the *LIVE VACCINE*. In other words, you could actually indirectly *vaccinate* other people who came into contact with it. You would *not* give them "smallpox".

If the article isn't entirely off base, what they're talking about is the risk of giving other people an accidental vaccination, with the usual risk of adverse reactions to vaccination, especially if they're high-risk individuals for allergic reactions or have weakened immune systems. Not to mention the fact that any pus oozing from your skin could conceivably spread any other pathogens you happened to have in your body, like Hepatitis, AIDS, etc.

Kind of like secondary smoke. These vaccination threads have shown just how downright mentally disturbed this nation has become. In the middle ages the population could be forgiven their ignorance about disease and its treatment or prevention, but for that to be happening now is willful stupidity.
