The article presents the author's comments regarding the small pox vaccination plan of the U.S. government. Many hospitals bailed out of the plan of administering small pox vaccines. In March 2003, three people, including a nurse, died after being given small pox vaccines. The author said that if hospitals and health agencies did not stand firm with their position not to give the vaccines, the death toll would have been higher. She said that when it comes to therapeutics, benefits of the treatment should outweigh risks.
