Variola virus is relatively stable in the natural environment. If aerosolized, it will retain its infectivity for at least several hours if not exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light. Since the virus is two hundred and sixty by one hundred fifty nanometers and contains a molecule of double stranded DNA putatively coding for some two hundred different proteins; makes smallpox one of the largest viral genomes known which makes it especially difficult to create a synthetic copy of the virus for medical purposes.…

Since the creation of the Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine in 1957, the number of cases a year has gone down from half a million to a handful, even though they are highly contagious (Shames). In today’s society, these viruses are so rare that many people cannot even list the dangers and symptoms.

A group of Ashland parents has created a dangerous environment by choosing to opt-out of vaccinating their children.…

On October 8, 2015, researchers from the IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America) announced that 12.5 percent of all children (8.7 million children) were not fully protected by vaccination for Measles, and that 24.7 percent of children age three or younger are at risk. Those who are not vaccinated or are undervaccinated are highly susceptible to becoming ill because measles is very contagious through direct contact and droplets that can spread through the air. Measles is one of the most contagious of the vaccine-preventable diseases, meaning to prevent sustained transmission, it's necessary to maintain the highest levels of immunity. The measles vaccine is given to children in two doses, the first at 12 to 15 months and the second at four to six years old. While children are required to receive the MMR vaccine before attending school, some are exempt because they have a medical issue, such as an immune disorder or cancer.…
