- "U.S. considers
new smallpox vaccine: Scientists optimistic about
MVA." ... "Buoyed by promising results in animal experiments, government
officials are contemplating buying massive quantities of a new type of
smallpox vaccine to supplement the national stockpile already assembled
in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks." ... "Scientists believe
that unlike any of the vaccines now available, the new vaccine may be effective
in protecting against the deadly infectious disease without the risk of
serious -- and occasionally lethal -- side effects." ... "As doubts grow
about the existing vaccines, scientists are increasingly optimistic about
the prospects for the experimental vaccine, called Modified Vaccinia Ankara,
or MVA." -By Griff Witte with contributions by Justin
Gillis -WashingtonPost

"Hospitals
balk at smallpox vaccine." ... "More than 80 hospitals
in 22 states have decided to forgo the Bush administration's voluntary
smallpox plan. Many have said they will begin vaccinating immediately if
a single smallpox case appears or the government warns that the threat
of a bioterrorism attack using the smallpox virus is imminent." ... "The
dissenters are a tiny fraction of the 3,000 hospitals recruited by state
health officials to vaccinate doctors, nurses and other hospital staff
members who are most likely to care for smallpox patients." ... "But their
numbers are growing as doctors and administrators at hospitals around the
USA are concluding that the known health risks from the vaccine, which
can cause illness and even death, outweigh the unquantifiable risks of
smallpox being used as a terrorist weapon." -By Laura
Parker -USATODAY

- "Smallpox
Vaccine Transmission Raises Liability Issue." ...
"President Bush's decision on Friday to offer smallpox vaccinations to
up to 10 million health care workers, firefighters, police officers and
other emergency workers suddenly makes relevant the question of who pays
the medical costs of illness from accidental infection." ... "Tommy G.
Thompson, the secretary of health and human services, and other federal
experts on smallpox were asked on Saturday who would pay. They said they
expected standard health insurance to pay for such medical care." ... "But
they left unanswered the question of who would pay if the accidentally
infected individual was among the estimated 41 million Americans who had
no health insurance." -By Lawrence K. Altman

-AltaVista-News

- "Smallpox
vaccine costs raise questions." ... "Secretary of
Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson, in a press briefing Saturday,
said most states are expected to pay workers' compensation for lost work
time for medical or emergency personnel sickened by the vaccine. Modest
death benefits are also available. Unions, however, say those amounts are
likely to be inadequate." ... "Thompson also said that health care workers
and private citizens who seek the vaccine would need their own health insurance
to pay for any care needed to treat side effects." -By
Julie Appleby -USATODAY

- "Bush
orders smallpox vaccine for military, himself." ...
"The vaccine will be administered to about 500,000 troops deployed in high-risk
parts of the world in the first phase of the vaccination plan. The inoculations
began Friday, said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute
of Allergy and Infectious Disease." ... "The second phase will be to vaccinate
about 440,000 public health-care workers, emergency room doctors, disease
detectives and other hospital officials. It will also be made available
to up to 10 million police, firefighters and other first responders on
a voluntary basis." -Contributed to by Frank Buckley
and Elizabeth Cohen -CNN

- "Clues
Suggest Iraq Has Smallpox: Some Clues, Including
Camel Virus Experiment, Suggest Iraq Has Smallpox, Experts Say." ... "Clues
include U.N. weapons inspectors' discovery of a machine labeled "smallpox"
and Iraq's experimenting with a related virus that infects camels. The
official U.S. position, shared by some experts, is that the evidence is
inconclusive." ... ""I don't believe the intelligence community has a smoking
gun that Iraq possesses the virus," said Jonathan Tucker, a former U.N.
biological weapons inspector. "My impression is they're erring on the side
of caution on these bits of circumstantial evidence that are troubling
but not conclusive."" -AP
