There's no doubt they are trying to scare the crap out of us.
As if that will work.
Am I going to get vaccinated because I'm fearful that the psychopaths are going to release smallpox?
No
It is a stupid, desperate attempt.
I know they want to kill 90% of us so we aren't a drain on their resources, but they are not going to do it with a fast-acting plague.
Remember, their only power over us is that they have 70 hundred million gorgillion dollars.
All that becomes absolutely useless if they kill society. If they kill even 30% of us we are in a Mad Max world, where nobody builds anything, nobody cares about your bank account any more.
Nobody to maintain their homes, the roads for their supercars, their yachts. They don't want to live in a bunker for years any more than we do.
If you see legitimate smallpox start to pop up, you might want to consider it. If I remember my history correctly, the last dose of vaccine was given in ~1977ish and the disease was declared eradicated in ~1980. Only like 4 places in the world had any samples: the CDC, the Soviet equivalent in Moscow, etc.
The only way it could ever re-emerge is if one of those two governments released it. And Putin would never do it.
If the evil SOBs running our own fascist government unleashed smallpox back on the world, you'd want that vaccine. The alternative would be to recreate what happened when the Europeans first showed up in the new world. 90-95% of the native population was wiped out by diseases like smallpox to which they had no immunity. That's basically anyone under age 40.

Most military who have deployed to the sandbox has gotten it before deployment. I'm <40 and got the scar. Still would be absolutely devastating.
