[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this begs the question. If you can die from it and smallpox vaccine is effective against it, why are they not restarting production and vaccination? I am enough to have been vaccinated against smallpox but my kids aren’t and I’d get them vaccinated in a heartbeat. Certainly better than doing insane quarantine carousel again.[/quote]

How old are you to where you are old enough to have had the smallpox vaccine AND have kids under 18? Didn’t they stop vaccinating for smallpox in like 1970?[/quote]

I am not from the US but one of the former Soviet republics where they vaccinated into the late 1970s. I have the scar on my arm and everything.  But also, some parents at my kids’ school are significantly older than I am. Someone born in 1972 would be 50 today - why can’t they have a 16 year old?[/quote]

Same here. Born in 1977 in Russia, had a smallpox vaccine as a baby. Scar on arm to prove it. Same goes for my Ukrainian husband. Our youngest is 12[/quote]

Also, yes, they did stop vaccinating in 1970 or thereabouts. My sister (1968) has a the smallpox vaccine scar. I (1970) do not.

However, that leaves LOTS of folks who have the vaccine and have kids who are minors. My neighbor (1968) and her husband (1962) have a 16 year old. Another neighbor (1966 & 1962) have a 15 year old. An ex-neighbor (1960 & I don't know how old her husband is) have two 16 year olds.

I could go on, but anybody 52 who have been vacccinated could still have minor children. And don't forget about the men! Trump ... doesn't he have a 16 year old?

Well, hopefully that vaccine is still effective against MPX; at least the older population would be spared. [/quote]
