Smallpox hasn’t occurred in the U.S. since 1949, and routine vaccination against it ended here in 1972. When the World Health Organization (WHO) certified that smallpox had been eradicated from the planet in 1980, this was the first time in history that medical scientists and public health workers had completely purged the world of a devastating infectious disease. Though the disease was eradicated over 20 years ago, several samples of the live virus were preserved, mainly for research purposes. Today the only verified repositories of the virus are held in secure laboratories at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, and the State Center for Research on Virology and Biotechnology in Koltsovo, Russia. However, it is believed that clandestine stocks of smallpox exist in 10 or more other countries. Due to the events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent spread of anthrax in October, public health officials regard the use of biological weapons by terrorists as a real possibility. The Congressional testimony of former Soviet scientist, Kenneth Alibek, supports this view. Of all the disease-causing agents that might be used as weapons, smallpox has the potential to cause the greatest harm, since, prior to its eradication, it was considered the most devastating of all infectious diseases. "You can bend it and twist it... You can misuse and abuse it... But even God cannot change the Truth.” Michael Levy |

In 1977 smallpox was supposedly eradicated by CDC/WHO and the vaccines were stopped shortly after that. The only people that now get the small pox vaccine are those that travel abroad or are in the military. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28031866 United States 11/19/2012 01:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For everyone that is still insisting that vaccines actually work, I recommend that you look at the actual history of infectious diseases, and the 80% decline of deaths in the US from 1900-1940, before the introduction of vaccines. Also read the studies and reports of the outbreaks that we do have and realise that over 80% of children that are infected in recent outbreaks have been fully vaccinated against the disease in question. |
