Here are a few of the less encouraging statements about Smallpox from the report posted. Sounds like our country would immediately look like Japan, with everyone wearing masks. >>>Hemorrhagic cases are uniformly fatal and occur among all ages and in both sexes,<<< >>>>The signs and symptoms of both hemorrhagic and malignant smallpox were such that smallpox was seldom suspected until more typical cases were seen and it was recognized that a smallpox outbreak was in progress.<<<<< >>>>Because comparatively few persons today have been successfully vaccinated on more than 1 occasion, it must be assumed that the population at large is highly susceptible to infection.<<<<< >>>>There are no manufacturers now equipped to produce smallpox vaccine in large quantities.<<<< >>>>Unfortunately, the threat of an aerosol release of smallpox is real and the potential for a catastrophic scenario is great unless effective control measures can quickly be brought to bear.<<<< jama.ama-assn.org
