Possibility of smallpox epidemic in 21 century

Recurrence of smallpox is a reality

Family physician MD. Marshal Yun

"From some time in the future, there will be no smallpox, but eventually it will break out again, and when it does it will be widespread. At that time, be aware that a truly catastrophic disease is about break out."

This saying was mentioned by Jeung-san Sahng-jeh-nim, at 1908 , when there was smallpox epidemic in Korea.

The practitioners of Jeung San Do believe Jeung-san Sahng-jeh-nim as the ruling God of all universe, who came in human, personified and embodied. In his human life, he was known to have conducted a spiritual work called Chun-jee-gohng-sa, the work of renewing heaven and earth from 1901 to 1909. It is well known that in his 9 years of work, Sahng-jeh-nim had suffered all diseases on behalf of humanity and by finding the correct treatment, successfully removed the qi of all diseases. Smallpox, one of them. 1)

72 years later, On 8th of May 1980, during the Thirty-Third World Health Assembly, smallpox was declared to have been eradicated. This event was known to be the greatest achievement of the modern medical science. It was the "Triumph over the Most Terrible of the Ministers of Death." 2)

Smallpox strikes back?

But party did not last long, because smallpox virus had never been eradicated, though WHO had declared they have. On the contrary, smallpox virus had been upgraded, ever since WHO had declared it's termination.

Recent allegations from Ken Alibek, a former deputy director of the Soviet Union's civilian bioweapons program, have heightened concern that smallpox might be used as a bioweapon. Alibek reported that beginning in 1980, the Soviet government embarked on a successful program to produce the smallpox virus in large quantities and adapt it for use in bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles; the program had an industrial capacity capable of producing many tons of smallpox virus annually. 3)

After the attacks of Anthrax bioterrorism on September and October, 2001, Department of Defense and State Department Personnel have heightened concern that terrorists may have access to the smallpox virus and attempt to use it against the American public.

On December 13, 2002, President Bush announced a plan to better protect the American people against the threat of smallpox attack by hostile groups or governments.

During January 24th to February 21st, 2003, smallpox vaccine was administered to 7,354 civilian health care and public health workers in 40 jurisdictions.4)

Outbreak of smallpox epidemic is no longer a history. It is a reality. Smallpox had already shown her first step by the name of vaccination and we are about to observe its comeback stage in this 21th century as it was mentioned 100 years ago.
