It's absolute nonsense that it's "high risk"

I wish. The CDC started immunizing their people and had to stop. Too many side effects.

The vacine is made from live attenuated virus which means pretty much kiss anyone on chemotherapy good bye. Back in the 50's and 60's we didn't have that many people in that situation. We do now. Many won't survive. (I think Tony's estimate is too low.)

The current available vaccine is based on a 50 year old formula. The "new and improved version" should be out in about a year.

Another problem they have to tackle is documentation of vaccination vs. quarantine. A terrorist has fake documents saying he was vaccinated, when he's actually a walking smallpox factory, decides to spend his last days coughing on people at JFK.

How would America react to being quarantine?? (When the plague hit Milan during the Dark Ages they walled up the victims and the family in their house. It worked. Plague deaths were few.) If you can't prove you had the shot your out of here. We've seen people lie for a lot less (esp. during the klintoon administration.)

All in all, there is NO evidence that this is going to be a threat. Now or in the future.
