That's fine with me, but I want mine and dont't want my government interfering with my right to obtain it.
Right now the policy is to wait until there is an outbreak to allow the general public access to the vaccine. Considering that the vaccine can be given up to four days after exposure and still give some protection against smallpox, there would be massive logistical problems in getting most of the US population vaccinated in four days. The more who get vaccinated ahead of time, the fewer who would need to be vaccinated in an emergency. Also, the more who are vaccinated beforehand, the less likely a terrorist orgainization or rogue state would be to release it against the US. Furthermore, the rate of complications from voluntary vaccination could be lower than the old statistics would indicate. People at high risk of complications would be advised against getting vaccinated.
. He's not suggesting you have to get it. He's just saying that if you want it you should be able to get it. Frankly I would rather get it now than in a panic when everyone would definitely have to get it and the health system would be most strained.
