There is 0 chance of contracting a Natural case of small pox .
No reason to spend money for the vaccination.
The point being that again.. when it comes to the small pox vaccine.. its not worth the risk.
IF there was absolutely no risk for the vaccine.. then we would be vaccinated children in order to stop any future outbreak.
Its not because there is ZERO risk of smallpox.. in fact we have recently vaccinated troops and some civilians in anticipation of an outbreak.

Why do we assume smallpox was eradicated in the Americas by vaccines? Many diseases have disappeared without vaccines for them..
Scarlet fever results from group A strep infection. If your child has a sore throat and rash, their doctor can test for strep. Quick treatment with antibiotics can protect your child from possible long-term health problems.
Scarlet fever – or scarlatina – is a bacterial infection caused by group A Streptococcusor "group A strep." This illness affects a small percentage of people who have strep throat or, less commonly, streptococcal skin infections.
Sweating sickness is an acute, febrile, tickborne toxicosis characterized mainly by a profuse, moist eczema and hyperemia of the skin and visible mucous membranes. It is essentially a disease of young calves, although adult cattle are also susceptible. Sheep, pigs, goats, and a dog have been infected experimentally. It occurs in eastern, central, and southern Africa and probably in Sri Lanka and southern India.
As recently as December 2013, the island of Madagascar battled a new plague outbreak.
The number of cases of plague reported in the United States is small, with only one case in 2003 and two each in 2001 and 2002, none of which were fatal. The decline followed an increase in plague rates in the 1990’s, with a high of 14 cases reported in the U.S. in 1994.
In recent decades, an average of seven human plague cases have been reported each year, most of them in the bubonic form, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
there is a chance of it being used as a weapon and thus the government instituted a program of inoculation.
Come now.. you know its not about money.. its because its risky.. its a risk versus benefits.
Facts are facts minnie6167. Its okay though.. we know that I have a valid point.
I am not going to worry about the chance of smallpox being a weapon.
I did not buy plastic drop cloths and duct tape to seal my doors and windows (soon after 9/11 ) in case there was dirty bomb .
I am NOT living my life in fear and I am teaching my grandchildren to duck under their school desk and put their hands over their heads in case there is a nuclear attack.
What if the government mandated that your grandchildren have the small pox vaccine . Would you concur because "all vaccines are safe"?
?..
by the way.. I also don't live in fear. I am not frightened that my son will die of cervical cancer because he has not been vaccinated for HPV.
Most vaccines against a virus are extremely safe since they do not use a live virus.
The smallpox vaccine still uses a live virus but yes if the government mandated it then they should get it. I had mine ( and I had local reaction with a hard, red lump the size of an egg on my arm) and in spite of my reaction I made sure my two older children had their smallpox vaccinations. My younger two children did not need them because by the early 1980s smallpox had been eradicated. It no longer survived in nature.
I believe requiring children to have their small pox vaccinations all those years from when it was invented through the early 70s is the reason why it was eradicated and children no longer need those vaccinations.
Actually I was talking about fear of war or terrorism.
I am glad you do not fear that your son might get or spread a STD .

Yes.. many vaccines ARE extremely safe.. the smallpox vaccine is not as safe as others.
I personally would not require my child to have smallpox vaccine unless their would be a credible threat that he could get smallpox because the risk of the vaccine is greater than the risk of getting small pox.
You apparently would force my child to get the smallpox virus regardless to the risk of his safety and regardless of the risk of infection.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
I don;t fear that he will die of cervical cancer no. but there are other STD's out there that I fear..
HPV-caused mouth and throat cancers are a new epidemic among men -- one that people aren't fully aware of, according to cancer experts.
I would never force anyone to have a vaccination.
I do however, think states have the right to require vaccinations for certain preventable childhood diseases in order to attend public schools in their state.
While guys/men do not get cervical cancer from the HPV virus they might get mouth or throat cancer from the virus.
From the following article:
Oral cancers from HPV such as Michael Douglas’ are 'epidemic' among men, but preventable through HPV vaccine: experts

And that would be forcing people to have vaccinations.
Yep.. and the incidence is low enough and my son is young enough that the risk of the vaccine is not worth the risk of the getting mouth cancer.
The HPV vaccine contains no viruses and is not made from human papillomavirus. The active ingredients in the HPV vaccine are proteins that are similar to those found in the human papillomavirus. Genetically modified bacteria produce the proteins, which are then purified and mixed into a sterile, water-based solution.
Government, academic, and other public health investigators could not identify the HPV vaccine as the cause of any severe adverse event. There were 96 deaths as of March 30, 2014, none of which could be directly tied to the HPV vaccine.The conclusion of public health investigators was that the HPV vaccine was unlikely to be the cause of these events. Such events occur at a certain rate in any group of tens of millions of people. The vaccination before each adverse event seemed to be a simple coincidence.
No, they can send their children to a private school, home school their children , or they could even choose no to have child, they could even move their family to ou try where vaccinations are not required.
I thought the recommended age for the vaccine is 12 or 13 anyway.
No virus is used in the vaccine only proteins.
There have been no recoded serious side effects from the PVH vaccine.
