It's absolute nonsense that it's "high risk." Maybe there would be one bad reaction in 100,000, and not all of those would be deaths. It would be less dangerous, nation-wide, than the numerous complications from abortion, which are swept under the rug with the complicity of government health agencies. And if the government allowed the vaccine to be distributed voluntarily, they would not bear any responsibility or liability for the few deaths that might result.

It would also improve chances of controlling an epidemic in case of a terrorist attack. The more immune people in the general population, the less the risk of a devastating epidemic spreading before it can be controlled.

Fauci is one of those typical yuppie control freaks, who need to tell people what is good for them and what they should or shouldn't do.

If it's dangerous to people with AIDS, then that's a problem for AIDS sufferers to work out in consultation with their doctors.

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.
