Preston's new book "The Demon in the Feezer" just came out yesterday. He is the guy who wrote "The Hot Zone" about Ebola. This new book is about smallpox and is non-fiction. He talks about smallpox having killed 1 Billion people in the last 100 years it was around.

The more I learn about smallpox, the more chicken little looked like a prophet.

Here is the book link:

Those 1 billion deaths didn't come with modern vaccine, medical and quarantine procedures ready to go.

Hyping the smallpox danger to Armageddon proportions in a book also causes it to sell well. Like we've never seen that before.
