The virus is inert. This is ridiculous! Needs a barf alert!

But, it is indicative of the emotionalism surrounding smallpox. It is like a fear of mice. Totally ridiculous!

One thing we didn't have in the old days of smallpox inoculations was AIDS. Could secondhand virus from the vaccinations result in some of these people manifesting some form of the pox?

I believe it is "attenuated," meaning not dead but weakened and still alive.

I found this in a CNN article about Israel vaccinating health/police workers.....

"Dr. Carlos del Rio, an infectious disease specialist at Emory University in Atlanta, is among the skeptics. "I would really worry about vaccinating people and having to live with the consequences of vaccination and the complications of vaccinations," he said.

Del Rio adds it's not just the vaccinated person who's at risk. Anyone who touches the site on a recently vaccinated person's skin could also get sick.

"I can tell you that, you know, somebody's patch is going to fall off. And something is going to happen," said del Rio."

More nonsensical worries? Just wondering.
