Smallpox has been eradicated, so this must be something else. If it truly was smallpox, this would be front page headlines around the entire world.

When i saw the headline of this article i was about to panic and go into hysterics...however i sat down and wondered 'how come this thing was not breaking news?' Think about it...the re-emergence of small pox as an epidemic would probably be the biggest news event in almost two decades due to the severe ramifications!

That is when i disregarded the article as fake!

The Smallpox Report... Scenario #1 Reporter looking for breaking story. Hears about some kind of "pox" on children in region, wants to expose how unfair gov't is to helping poor people. Confuses "Chicken" with "Small"...unintentionally causes creepy thread on FR boards with misinformation.

Scenario #2 Someone finds report in local section of Pakistani paper, CDC notified, CDC on plane _right now_ checking situation out. Noone allowed to report on situation till confirmation confirmationally confirmed.

Scenario #3 Big Government Conspiracy Coverup.
