How is smallpox vaccine manufactured minus smallpox virus?
How is a smallpox vaccine manufactured for the military when it is supposed to be wipe out?
I can't seem to surmise of any other diesase used other the cowpox..
Answers: Smallpox isn't wiped out as within wiped out of existence rotten the face of the land. It still exists, in the CDC laboratories, within freezers. They also keep stores of vaccine, and surrounded by 2000 contracted with a lab to produce other stores of it. The virus is used to produce the vaccine, not cowpox or any other type of "pox". Cowpox infections offer adjectives resistance to smallpox, but doesn't confer immunity- so the small pox vaccination would still be needed if here were an outbreak.
Who say that you can't make it from unconscious smallpox? Just because they're wiped out doesn't close-fisted that you don't have unmoving samples.
