Smallpox From The Past
An anonymous reader submits "Earlier this year, librarian Susanne Caro was looking through an 1888 book on United States Civil War medicine and discovered a small envelope labeled 'scabs from vaccination of W.B. Yarrington's children' and signed by Dr. W.D. Kelly, the author of the book. After a bit of research, she realized they might be smallpox scabs used in early live vaccination methods and contacted various officials including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC was excited by the find, because it gives them an untreated specimen from over a century ago, and a chance to look at the disease's evolution. Although the FBI had concerns that the smallpox may have been planted in the book, most of the researchers believe the scabs are too old to be dangerous, and they fear they may not even be able to yield live smallpox."
That will teach you fucks to develop weapons of mass destruction!
Better safe from psychos than sorry?
The FBI are psychos with badges though, it's tough to be safe from them.

Clearly this is yet more proof that the United States of America is attempting to build weapons of mass destruction, and they are currently attempting to yield living smallpox specimens from this find. The world police, the US, needs to invade the US to save us from this tyranny.
