How to use smallpox in a sentence?

  1. Ashish Jha:

    We have 1.3 million doses of TPOXX -- the treatment for smallpox, it can also be used for monkeypox -- in our stockpile. And we are working day and night to make access to that treatment easier for providers around the country.

  2. Jennifer McQuiston:

    ACAM2000 is an older-generation smallpox vaccine that has some potential significant side effects with it. So a decision to use that widely would have to have some serious discussion behind it.

  3. Robert Krakow:

  4. Anthony Fauci:

They eradicated smallpox, they saved millions and millions of lives, they are very complex to design, and that's why, you know, saying it's being done at Warp Speed is a little scary, because you really need to do the safety checks very, very carefully.

  5. Bert Jacobs:

    We use surrogate live attenuated vaccines, where we put parts of SARS-CoV-2 into vaccinia virus [which guards against smallpox], and this can be done initially within a month.
