"After the events of September and October, 2001, however, the U.S. government took further actions to improve its level of preparedness against terrorism. For smallpox, this included updating a response plan and increasing the amount of smallpox vaccine in the stockpile. We now have enough vaccine in the stockpile to vaccinate every person in the United States in the event of a smallpox emergency". - An angle I haven't even begun to develop.
That's in case of a bioterrorism attack. Haha. That is not to say they will not use quarantine methods and it certainly does not say they will force people to use them.

They are not fucking preferable if you are never going to be exposed to the disease. Are you willing to give your child a smallpox vaccination that could make her have heart complications for the rest of her life on the off-chance that she runs into smallpox. I'm sure as fuck not. That vaccination makes you very fucking sick. Again, they did not vaccinate everyone. They vaccinated areas where the virus was known to exist. Your link did nothing to argue that.

I don't mind you saying it. It only comes from a place of cherry picking. I have read about it. I've read a great deal about it, in fact. You are arguing for forced vaccinations in the entire population citing smallpox vaccinations as an example. It's a very shitty example, as I already demonstrated. They didn't just vaccinate everyone. Medical professionals know that is entirely fucking unnecessary.
I should also point out that smallpox is not even on the list of suggested vaccinations for school age children.
