If we "do" learn anything from history, it is that we have learned that our governments don't really give a damn about the welfare of the people, unless it interferes with their ability to hold on to their wealth or status.
Our government used smallpox as a weapon before, I guess they are going back to the tried and true.
Smallpox had no cure. It killed less than one percent of the people that were infected. They like to believe that we have antivirals available today that were not available back then, that they think would have been greatly effective. But we know that even if we do have antivirals on the shelf now that will work, they will never be allowed to be used.
Quote:Smallpox is a disease that is caused by the variola virus. It is an infectious (also known as ‘communicable’) disease meaning it can spread from one person or animal to another, either directly or indirectly. The variola virus, however, infects only humans (meaning animals are unable to catch smallpox).
There are two types of variola viruses – variola major and variola minor – with the former type being a much more severe form.

Another interesting thing was that a slave is credited with saving a large number of people from severe infection and death, in Boston in the 1700s.
