U.S. Department of Human and Health Services Secretary Tommy Thompson announced last October that the U.S. government had made arrangements to acquire 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine -- enough for every man woman and child in America. This is the Bush administration's plan to protect the American people from the threat of biological terrorism in the event that terrorists would use smallpox against us.

The government's plans to mass vaccinate the phone number list nation will cause the death of as many as 300 people and will cause mild to severe reactions in up to 70 percent of the vaccinated population. Those figures are based upon previous experience with the old smallpox vaccine used up until 1980 when the World Health Organization certified the world free of smallpox. The repercussions could be worse as we have no way of knowing how safe new generations of smallpox vaccine will be, nor do we know how safe it will be to dilute old smallpox vaccine that could be up to 40 years old.

Even the American Medical Association, a staunch advocate of vaccination, refused to endorse the mass smallpox vaccination plan at its annual winter meeting last Dec. 4 in San Francisco. “The 538 delegates attending the meeting voted overwhelmingly to continue studying the possible repercussions of such a mass inoculation,” the AP story said.
