Crank up the CDC budget and make their mission getting a vaccine in place in six months. And assume some civilian loon will assemble smallpox just because the genome is published and the desktop technology allows it.

Genetic engineering is getting stupid easy to accomplish. A million bucks and a good postdoc and you can accomplish a lot of mischief. I shudder every time I see one of those Oxford/U of TX/Berkeley loons on ******* spouting off about how humans need to be wiped out to save mother Gaia.
I like the way you think! I wrote a scenario a while back on just that point. Much of my professional life has been and still is directed towards the development of the appropriate medical countermeasures. In my twisted mind, it's not a question of "If" it's a question of "When". But I'm guessing that you understand that twisted thinking?
