Experts fear, though, that terrorists may have secret stockpiles of the virus or could figure out how to reengineer smallpox in the lab. Two million doses of treatment, the Times writes, could contain an outbreak in a large city in the event of terrorists dousing an airport or stadium with pathogens. But around 12 million doses would be needed to combat a nation-wide epidemic.
Others argue that the spending is a bit extravagant since the U.S. keeps a stockpile of around 300 million smallpox vaccines, compared to just 15 million in 2001.
Left untreated, smallpox kills a third of victims. But prominent experts say the danger is overblown. Because it can take up to two weeks before an infected person becomes seriously ill, and up to five more days before he or she begins to infect others, there is time to respond, they said.Even if the U.S. doesn't really need all of those treatments and vaccines, however, experts point out to the Times that the medications could be used to help other nations in need who come under a smallpox attack, since only the U.S., Japan and Israel reportedly have enough vaccine to cover their entire populations.
Also, they said, by the time smallpox victims reach the infectious stage, when their pox are erupting, they are too sick to wander around. That is why outbreaks in schools or factories were nearly unheard of.
Smallpox was eradicated by "ring vaccination" โ finding each case and vaccinating just the 50 to 200 people closest to it.
If there were a large-scale bioterrorism attack using smallpox, health officials could move quickly, some experts say.
For some reason that they could not explain and went completely against everything they thought they knew about viruses and DNA, and should have been completely impossible and materially, mechanically unconnected with their manipulation of the pox virus, it transformed from a totally harmless mouse-pox virus into a virus so virulent and infectious that had it escaped into the wild it was projected that the entire world's mouse population would be extinct within a few decades.
So they published their research in a peer-reviewed journal.
It was at this time that the world freaked out about the threat of terrorists using small pox. Some people thought the two might be connected. And who could doubt that known terrorists such as the CIA etc and psychopaths such as the Faucis and Soros's of the world took notice and would want that for themselves.
Maybe Covid and the Vaccine poison was just a dry run?
