Funny, my father was the director of immunization at CDC between the 1970's and the 1980's. If you got an immunization shot during those years, he is the one responsible for it. Eventually, he was asked to take over the AIDS program once that became a serious problem in the 1980's.

My wife is an RN.

I had the smallpox vaccination as a child.

I had the smallpox vaccination in the Army.

Count me in as the first in line when the smallpox vaccinations when are available once again.

Ditto. It's not me I'm worried about it's my grandkids.

The historical record of smallpox outbreaks indicates a 30% fatality rate. If they have weaponised smallpox and the means to deliver it in an urban environment, it will make the anthrax terrorism a walk in the park.

Transmission rates are very high and the system will be severely taxed.

I know this, somebody thinks the bad guys have it and that they are going to try and use it.

What's his take on the degree of residual immunity left for those of us who got our shots back when they were still giving them in the 50s and 60s?
