What would happen if someone who got the smallpox vaccination was able to spread smallpox to others by virtue of the vaccine? Would we assume it was a terror attack? Well, we can't blame the manufacturer anymore, can we? Would we all be forced to then go get the vaccine and boost the manufacturers revenues out of this world? Wouldn't the manufacturer be praised throughout history for saving mankind? Wouldn't we allow the govnt even more power, who would write more laws favorable to "big business contributors" and said manufacturer? So, in light of these questions, is it in the manufacturer's best interest to make a crappy vaccine with live viruses that are contagious?

**Update on CDC Plans to Force Smallpox Vaccine on the US
"All of these patients would be at risk for serious complications from contact with a vaccinated individual.

Historically, this live virus vaccine has caused more injury and death among those who were vaccinated than any other vaccine that has ever used. The general population has no natural immunity to this virus and even with controlled vaccination of first responders, the virus has the potential to spread throughout the community and then across the globe.

If that were to happen, the eventual end result would be the required mass vaccination of everyone in the world. Tens of thousands of casualties from the vaccine itself will result, and our already over-burdened healthcare system will be crushed trying to care these victims."

**"For one thing," he said, "smallpox is not explosively contagious.""smallpox is NOT like measles; it is NOT a highly contagious disease." - Dr. Joel Kuritsky, the CDC's director of the Preparedness and Early Smallpox Response Activity for the National Immunization Program.
http://mercola.com/2002/jun/12/smallpox_update.htm

Kuritsky expounded on other smallpox misconceptions:

"1. Smallpox is spread through "droplet contamination." The likelihood of spreading the infection from person-to-person throughout a room is minimal because "coughing and sneezing are not part of the disease."

2. Transmission through bed clothing contamination is extremely rare.

3. The virus is NOT spread in food or water.

4. Contagiousness can be "interrupted' by the use of "a properly fitted filtered respirator mask with an NIOSH rating of N95 or better." The key here is personalized fitting: a fitted mask will provide a very high level of protection against biological agents.

Q: We read in every medical and general publication that the case fatality rate of smallpox is 30%. What was the actual cause of death from smallpox?

A: (by Dr. Margolis): Most people died from electrolyte imbalances and possibly renal (kidney) disease. In addition, the skin sometimes exfoliated (sloughed off) and it acted like a burn. In addition, most cases that died were in Bangladesh and Central Africa.

Q: So, what you are saying by your answer is that those conditions are treatable and that most cases that died took place in countries where they did not have advanced medical care and since the last case of known smallpox in the U.S. was in Texas in 1949, we have the medical capability to treat complications of smallpox today...

A: Some "imported cases" people died in Europe too. "
