RE: Smallpox, Vaccination, and Oscillatory Epidemic Dynamics
Awesome post. Thank you so much! I hope that Polio will be next. We are already pretty close (http://polioeradication.org/).

That is wild... Hopefully polio. A friend's dad who was crippled for life by polio (vaccine didn't work for him) just recently passed. It is amazing to think that after only gaining a basic understanding of disease a little over a century ago, we are starting to alter our future in such a way.
Now we need to figure out how to reduce our carbon footprint, love our neighbors, and prepare for more and more people on this planet. Thanks for the reply and the support!
First of all; sorry to read about your friend's dad.
You really are an optimist, indeed. "Now we need to figure out how to reduce our carbon footprint, love our neighbors, and prepare for more and more people on this planet." -> I guess eradicating polio is much easier than any of those points. ;-)
I guess it would also be a good idea to start by putting less people in this world. More people always means more trouble...
"putting less people in the world"
Which brings us to the hardest problem of all... lol
Indeed. ;-D
