If they look like this, shoot them and burn the body!

One day after the British authorities announced a mass vaccination programme against smallpox, the USA, France and Canada has confirmed plans to carry out a large-scale inoculation project against the same disease.
Worried that their countries would not be prepared in the event of a bioterrorism attack, the governments of these countries have advanced contingency plans to carry out a vaccination programme. IN the UK, the British government is in negotiations with the pharmaceutical company Aventis, which will supply 10,000,000 doses of the vaccine. In France, the Health Ministry has confirmed that there are plans to inoculate the front-line health and emergency workers at short notice, while the whole population would be vaccinated within two weeks.
Meanwhile, in the USA, the Bush Administration plans to vaccinate a million front-line military personnel, in a first phase, while a further ten million workers (police, healthcare staff) would be inoculated in a second phase. In Canada there are also plans for a mass inoculation programme for front-line emergency workers.
The vaccine would later be available for people who wanted to be inoculated on a voluntary basis in the USA and the UK. The vaccination can cause serious side effects for those who already have weak immune systems and so it would not be advisable for the chronically ill. One to three people per million die from side effects of the vaccination.
However, the death rate from the disease, were a massive outbreak to occur, would be around 30% of those infected, while many others would suffer from lifelong complications such as blindness. The illness begins with fever, tiredness, and backache, symptoms not unlike those of influenza. A rash appears within 2 to 4 days and evolves from spots, firstly, to hard bumps, to blisters then to pustules and finally crusts, initially on the palms of hands and soles of feet, later spreading to the arms and legs and finally, all over the body.
It is not yet clear why the sudden rush has taken place in four separate countries, all of them pressing for vaccine for the same disease. Either an intelligence report has appeared confirming that something has gone missing from a laboratory or a warning has been made. To date, there is no official confirmation or denial of either option.
Sorry, I should not have selected you personally to reply to. But what I was expressing is important.
Then you are a brainwashed fool.
None. Angostic. I don't say there isn't a God- just haven't run across one yet. If I did, I wouldn't have any problem with it.
On to your animal point. Ok, let's keep the argument confined to mammals. Is causing suffering to a puppy the same as causing suffering to a 3 yr old child? If so, why? If not, why not?
I've caused untold suffering to uncountable fish, insects, mammals and probably people as well. I've hunted, raised livestock, killed animals simply because I thought their fur might make a nice ornament or their hide might make a nice keychain. I have no moral qualms with this whatsoever. I will go to bed and sleep tonight knowing I've done these things. Tomorrow I will do more of the same.

Well, I DO know that there is GOD. Although humans attempt to define and refine GOD, GOD exists in GOD'S terms..

First off, what IS the difference between a puppy and that of a human child, since we aren't speaking in "Godly" terms..
IOW, WHY realistically is the life of a puppy any LESS important than that of a human?
I think I'll leave the doctoring to the doctors thanks.
Something to think about though. Some smallpox sufferers might have family that wouldn't appreciate you killing their loved one. Some of those family members are bound to have guns as well. If some nut off the street took it upon his self to diagnose my wife as a "threat" and shot her, his death would be as certain as if he had been struck down by God- but more painful.
Your kind heart will be very much needed. And if this ever gets loose once again, it will spread all over the Earth and Billions will become infected.
So IF you or your family has that reaction to the vaccine, we can shoot on site, right?
That's why I'm trying to keep them ALIVE and WELL...
Yes. Unleashing that evil will likely have only minor effect in the civilized world, but will devastate the backward countries of the world.
Are you serious? If you feel it's necessary to ask a question like that- I refuse to discuss this with you. I don't have time for that sort of idiocy. There's no reasoning with that sort of attitude and frankly I don't care to try.
Go ahead and get your parting shot in- something along the lines of me not being able to argue the point or whatever. I don't care. Have at it.
Cheers and goodnight.
I, for one, must take the vaccination multiple times since my body tends to reject it. And yes, I am in danger of being one of the victims of the vaccine as you showed.
So shoot me, if my death will prevent other deaths in the community.
