Seize firearms? Without probable cause? To what end?
Yet the FedGov is currently sitting on enough smallpox vaccines for every Amercian never vaccinated. There will be enough for those of us with older vaccinations (and some resistance) to be revaccinated later in the year.
What is the reasoning behind policies which preclude prudent steps, such as voluntary vaccination? Voluntary vaccination now means less folks to vaccinate in the case of an outbreak, and more herd immunity. Voluntary vaccination now means less likelihood of forced vaccinations later. It's win-win-win.
What is the reasoning behind radical "Emergency Health" contingency plans, while failing to take steps now that would make those emergency plans less likely to be necessary?

Hi Sabertooth.
I would ask those who cry foul about these emergency plans to answer this question:
WHEN a lethal, contagious, biological or chemical agent is unleashed on the civilian population af any particular state of the USA, what action would you encourage the government to take if you live in an adjoining state, or any of the other 49?
As we know,personal ethical standards are far from universal in the USA.If your city was the winner of the orange triangle award, do you think your neighbors would miraculously develope integrity, or would they risk the spread of death to the rest of the country in a futile attempt to escape and survive?
Who would voluntarily observe quarrantine procedures? Some would, certainly.Some will have to be forced.War is hell, and this one will involve people who have no conception of the true devestation war causes.They will be educated in the near future to this reality because war IS here.
I would hope that any intelligent person intent on personal survival has one or two "weapons" and the associated accessories. Money and lawyers will not be of any practical use, when the fan and the excrement meet.
I live out in the "country", but a large community of rich, clueless, MacMansion owners surround me. When things get rough, I fear them, not the "government".
