How does she feel about smallpox? There are still live
viruses in a few labs around the world. If those suckers
escape into the wild, LOOK OUT. Both my DD's are old enough
to have received the vaccination (my younger DD was among
the very last group) but neither of my precious DGC has had
it. I very much doubt enough vaccine exists to make a
difference if it gets loose. :-(

Smallpox was very bad. But diphtheria and tetanus may be worse. Death is relatively certain in all three instances, but the period between getting sick and dying.....well.....read the symptoms. I'd consider opening a vein if I were able to do it. Life involves risk. The odds of vaccine causing illness or death are extremely low. The odds of being injured or killed in your own bathtub is the highest for accidents. Do people stop taking baths because of this?
