Vaccinations of U.S. civilians started today.

Now, imagine if Americans, and maybe the British and other nice
friendly English speaking folks, were made immune to smallpox by their
governments' enforced innoculations.

And the smallpox "accidentally" got out again, or if "some crazy evil
foreign dictator unleashed it." It kills about a third of the people
who contract it.

Oh, NOW I get it.

Come to think of it, I got a flu shot, but contracted the flu anyway.
Maybe I'm lucky, and that shot REALLY contained A SECRET NOTHER
innoculation for something much much worse than flu. The secret
"A-Bomb" of this war. Or maybe I'm unlucky and it works about as well
for the "Captain Trips" disease as it does for the flu.

***

Naw jes' kidding, that's just a paranoid speculation, like something
out of a thriller novel. Nothing like that ever happens in real life.

((COUGH))

Bullshit city....

The claim is that some countries might have it and it might
end up in teh hands of terrorists. Which, if they had it
and wanted to use it, they'd have done so by now.
We have 50 million doses of vaccine which actually can be stretched
to more than that and new stuff is being made as we speak,
and is up for FDA approval.

One could expect any terrorists or dictator to be smart enough to read the
press and know the West will be protectable in a year or so.

But if some Terorist unleashed teh stuff, what would happen?
It would probably be quickly contained. But if it spread widely,
it will soon hit the third world. The assholes that may be tempted
to use smallpox as avweapon would probably realize that.
Take Karachi, Pakistan. A city of massive slums, 10 million
people, many already chronically sub-ill from poor water,
bad sanitation, poor food.
Small pox would rip through here like like a party of SubGenii through
a six pack of cold Urquel Pilsner.

Small pox would soon rip through crowded slum countries like
Pakistan, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia and would halve the world's
Muslim population overnight.

If I was running what passes in Washington for a government anymore,
I'd have the word above spread far and wide and would fan the US media's
talking heads to repeat this until the dullest would be Muslil jihadist
disease spreading, bio-terrorist moron got the message.

Diseases like smallpox will destroy Islam faster than America,
cause the poverty suffering Islamic nations are ripe for some
disease like this to mow them down like past massive plagues
wiped out large portions of the medievel world.

Imagine for a moment what it would be like if the assholes
set smallpox loose and it hits India. A lot of deaths will happen
there too, but I suspect the paranoid Hindu extremists would
soon be blaming the Muslims for purposefully attacking
India with the disease and we'd see a pogrom like we haven't
seen since partition left 3 million dead.

Other usual hotspots like Nigeria would see a vast increase
in Christian-Islamic violence as angry crowds burn out Islam
blaming it for the massive wave of death unleashed by any
such diseases unleashed by Islamic extremists.
Islam would experience the kiss of death in Africa if Islamic
crazies started this and it hit Africa.

And even if we wanted to help them, we would not be able
to fast enough if this or other possible nasty diseases
were in fact successfully unleashed on the world.
As these diseases ripped through major Islamic nations,
the poor would spread to the countryside to escape the horror
and slowly starve to death and merely spread the disease ever
wider anyway.

It will hurt them, worse than it will hurt us.

That was my point. And who do we know DEFINITELY has smallpox samples
nicely stored? Us.

Now, I can't imagine American leaders being mean and nasty enough to
spread a plague after innoculating themselves and their people. But I'm
no politician. They have different imaginations than us horror sf kook
satire writer preacher a.v.-geek types. Much grislier, I've heard.

How to flimsily rationalize genocide in
one easy lesson:

1) THEY are not US.
2) THEY refuse to change to suit US.
3) THEY would gladly do it to US.
4) THEY do not respect OUR rights.
5) THEY cannot, will not and do not
wish to change to better themselves.
6) THEY are superstitious peasants.
7) THEY are sitting on resources that
THEY can't use but wish to profit
from handsomely from US with, with
no work on THEIR part.
8) Given a minimum of modernity THEY
create a mess, because THEY have no
respect for the environment.
9) THEY are a millstone around OUR necks.
10) If THEIR elites wished to share THEIR
vaccine with THEIR people, THEY could
have done so. THEIR OWN leaders didn't.

Did I say "flimsily?"

Well! I see that you have decided you WILL join us in the re-education
camps after all! I already have dibs on the top bunk.
