By Ceci Connolly As physical specimens, the Baylor University students were fit and healthy, the "crème de la crème," in the words of researcher Kathy Edwards. Yet when she inoculated them with smallpox vaccine, arms swelled, temperatures spiked and panic spread.
It was the same at clinics in Iowa, Tennessee and California. Of 200 young adults who received the vaccine as part of a recent government study, one-third missed at least one day of work or school, 75 had high fevers, and several were put on antibiotics because physicians worried that their blisters signaled a bacterial infection.
This is indeed alarming. I'm one of the "older" folks who was innoculated for smallpox at the age of six prior to first grade in public school. At that time every first grader was required to be innoculated. We had no adverse reactions that I know of. The worst thing that I heard of happening at the time was someone who managed to scratch the spot of the vaccination and then touch an open scratch on his or her (I don't remember) face. It resulted in a vaccination scar on the face. Of course our medical experts and our producers of vaccines were obviously vastly superior to whatever friends of those in power are handling this work today. Innoculations in those days did not threaten the health or life of those who received them. Neither did they reduce our children to autism or require the Government to protect the vaccine producers by passing special legislation. It's hard to decide just what happened. Was it profit or progress? Us old fogies have such a hard time figuring that sort of thing out. Prudy
