Guest guest Posted July 8, 2002 Report Share Posted July 8, 2002 I am one of the believer's that we should have never discontinued our smallpox immunization program as a nation. We knew the threat of bio-terrorism way back when the program was eliminated.The stockpiles of the virus were frozen but were never destroyed. Now we have an entire nation who is not resistant to the disease because even if you were immunized as a child (I am 50 year's old). The immunity has long worn off. So we have Saddam and other's who have been busily making the stuff as a terror weapon and plan to use it. We are too trusting as a nation. We believe that no other nation wants to hurt or kill our citizens. September 11th was the wake up call and still we do not want to believe that this is so. September 11th was only the beginning. The rogue nation's are still plotting and planning. ly I would rather die in a nuclear blast than die in a smallpox epidemic. At least with a nuclear blast of today's intensity you die fast.
