- BARACHATTI June 4 - In Patiauna
village of Vinda Council in Barachatti block a dreadful outbreak of smallpox
is raging. Due to the smallpox so far three children have died and about
a dozen children are in its grip. So far, in order to treat and cure the
smallpox so far no steps have been taken by the medical department due
to which the villagers are angry.
-
- Gaya District Equality [Party] chairman Indradev Pasvan
has asked the DM to not delay in distributing appropriate medications to
the effected children and asked for suitable measures to be taken for protection
from this sickness, so that the remaining children may be saved. Mr Paswan
said that if this sickness was not quickly brought under control then it
might turn into an epidemic. Related Links

- Hi Jeff,
-
- One of the regular posters to my message board wrote
to the CDC. She got an interesting response, and of course, a denial that
Smallpox was a problem.
-
- The CDC claimed the last case was in 1978, a lab "accident."
Hum? I thought that neither the Russians nor the US was working with smallpox
at that time. By 1978, Smallpox was declared "dead." We know
that the Govt. would NEVER be involved in bioweapons development, so how
did it come to pass that smallpox infected a lab worker?
-
- Prior to this admission, I was under the impression that
the last case of smallpox was that of a civilian in Africa.
-
- At this point in time, "methinks" the CDC doth
talk with forked tongue.
-
- I am not sure that the CDC had been called in by the
Pakistanis. The case of a mystery "black" disease killing people
in a small isolated village near Moro on the Indus River was to be investigated
by a Japanese group. So, after all of this time, why are there NO lab test
results to quiet the rumors?
-
- The first case of smallpox that I had been aware of was
that of two Smallpox cases in Pakistan. (Tando Bago) It was dated April
2001. There never was closure with that case. I wrote to the doctor who
treated the patients at Taluga Hospital and never received a reply from
him. At that time, I had notified a colleague at Ft. Detrick USAMRIID,
whom I thought was a friend and whom I believed I could trust. As soon
as I notifed USAMRIID, all news of the smallpox cases ceased.
-
- It these reported cases are not smallpox, then why are
we not shown test results? Last year, 20001, smallpox cases in Tando Bago
should have been diagnosed and test results available. As for this years
cases, there should be preliminary test results by now. Promed tried to
claim that Ergot was the cause of the mystery "black" disease
on the Indus. Ergot is quite easy to identify. Yet, a month later, no test
results.
-
- I, now, understand WHY anthrax was sent through the mail.
It was Plan B. Time line:
-
- April 2001, Smallpox suspected in small village, Tando
Bago, Pakistan.
-
- Smallpox verified??? (thoery)
-
- US, CDC goes into panic. April 2001, decide to implement
a Smallpox Simulation exercise.
-
- Dark Winter June 2001.
-
- Result of Dark Winter: US totally unprepared for Smallpox
-
- At this time, however, bioterrorism is not front and
center on the Congressional agenda. The public also is a problem, in as
much as the public will not want to do all that must be done if Smallpox
is to be contained. also, very unpopular model Public Health Laws would
need to be in place.
-
- Plan B or as I call it: Light Summer:
-
- A plan was developed that would sufficiently scare the
public and Congress into action. This plan, which according to William
Patrick III's risk assessment would be of minimal risk to the general public,
but would scare the public and Congress into action. The plan, send Anthrax
through the mail to designated Congressmen and to the major media. In other
words, a bioterrorist event on US soil that really would not harm or kill,
but would publicize the risk of bioterrorism. In actuality, the Smallpox
cases may or may not have been bioterrorism, but bioterrorism would afford
the goal of containing a Smallpox outbreak.
-
- It is my opinion that Smallpox, may be in the environment
once again. Of course, it could be a mutated form, or even caused by smallpox
vaccination testing. Whatever the cause, is irrelevant. The fact is that
Smallpox may be with us again.
-
- Whether or not, there is ONE way to prove it, that is:
Show us some test results that either affirm or deny Smallpox. Thus far,
I am not getting any information and no test results are being made public.

- FYI - the two outbreak zones you have reported on your
website, one in Pakistan and the other in India - are 1,003 miles apart.
I was hoping they were border villages but the huge gap between them is
ominous if they prove to be smallpox. Here are their locations:
-
- Swabi, PK 34:07'00N X 72:28'00"E
-
- Barachatti, IN 24:31'00N X 85:01'00E
