Meaning?
My criticism was the same as muawiyah's. The way you posted your point tended to take away credence from what you were driving at. Posting quotes taken out of context like that is a form of propaganda- it's routine in politics and it's become routine lately with the politicization of science- ie Kyoto, genetically modified food etc.
It doesn't help people make informed decisions- rather it muddies the waters of debate.
Nobody's telling you to run out and get a smallpox vaccine. I personally don't care whether you do or not. I'm not lining up to get one. I'll get one if my wife does- she's a doctor. If she thinks we need one- I'll get it. If she doesn't get it, I won't get it. That's about as far as my information process on the issue needs to go. I personally don't care much whether I catch smallpox or not- it's not something I lose a lot of sleep over. Each individual has to make up their own mind. If these fellows do the trick for you, more power to you.
The information that I posted ARE facts, whether you wish them to be or not..
Did you know that in 1977, Dr. Salk himself TESTIFIED amongst other highly respected scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 "Abstracts" )
Ever wonder why immunization is required in schools? Because one infected child can cause multiple deaths in the community. If you prevent the spread of a disease early, it will not be transmitted to the rest of the population.
Personally, if I see someone infected with smallpox, I would shoot them on sight and burn the body.
Your choice, but make is wisely.
