ernest828 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I`ve been hearing about this for the last two months or so but the press has yet to nake a big issue of it. Has anyone else heard anything about this? This is pretty frightening stuff. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedster Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I sure hope not. I was vaccinated when I was a kid, back in the 60s. But any thought of biological terrorism is scary..really scary... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miroslav Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 What's "politics of fear" got to do with getting vaccinated against a potential disease??? Every year millions get vaccinated against the flu...and no one claims "politics of fear"... You put on a condom when you have sex so you don't get AIDS...and no one claims "politics of fear"... They still vaccinate babies against numerous diseases...and no one claims "politics of fear"... So...what's the problem with getting vaccinated against Small Pox if there is a possibility that some madman might try and attack us with it??? Boy...talk about convoluted logic!!! OK...so when the vaccinations start...you can demonstrate your refusal to buy into this politics of fear"...and just don' get your shot! Please understand...if we all started gettting vaccinated against Small Pox today...that would potentially REMOVE that terrorist threat...for good...

Wewus432 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Here's part of the hold up with the Small Pox vaccine. They predict 300 deaths from a mass innoculation and 15 to 20 million people will have side effects ranging from mild to very serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Well...those same risks existed 20-30 years ago when Small Pox vaccination was still being done. The flip side is...thousands...maybe millions would die, and many more seriously disfigured without any vaccinations...if there was a mass outbreak caused by terrorism. Hey...the vaccinations will be voluntary...you decide if you want one or not. Of course...the best thing would be if Saddam and the terrorist couldn't attack us with the Small Pox...or anything else for that matter. But...that means that we have to go and GET RID OF THE TERRORISTS...HARD... ...the won't just go away on their own... miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Wewus432 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Yeah I agree. I will take the vaccine if it's available, and I think we need to find every terroist working against this country and kill them, no if, ands, or buts. Otherwise we won't have the leisure to sit around and talk about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timobrien Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 You don't trash all the cars just because thousands of people die every year from accidents. Every vaccine has side effects and people will die from complications from it when given blanketly to the entire population to counter a suppossed threat from a foreign source. If and when there is a true bioterror event then the people in the surrounding area can be vaccinated. Only a fool dies from panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wewus432 Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 I'll bet you didn't know this. More people have died from Smallpox than from every war ever fought. It's not something to take chances with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botch. Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 It's kind of interesting that, just a few years ago, there was [i]supposed[/i] to be just two remaining samples of smallpox, and the big debate was whether to keep them, or commit a "crime against science" and destroy them. Now its becoming apparent Russia, France, and possibly North Korea have had samples all along, so much for Intel :rolleyes: Botch "Eccentric language often is symptomatic of peculiar thinking" - George Will www.puddlestone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernest828 Posted November 7, 2002 Author Share Posted November 7, 2002 I believe the small pox vaccine was mandatory if you were born before 1970. So some of you out there may still have some in your systems. I feel somewhat relieved knowing this vaccine was used for so many years and klnowing theres a chance we may have to get injected once again. Where do we draw the line with this now as far as who should have these Weapons of Mass Destruction? I feel better knowing the US has it than say Iraq but we used it when we wanted the American Indains out. Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
