SMALLPOX ERADICATED
SUB-BIDS REQUESTED
The U.S. Center fo r
Disease Control located in
Atlanta, Georgia, held a re­
cent celebration for the part
the organizaiton played in
the fight against smallpox. A
systematic, intensive search
for the disease in Africa for
the past two years and the
fact that no new cases had
been reported to the World
Health Organization led o f­
ficials to declare that the war
is over. Smallpox has been
eradicated.
No one is sure when the
last case o f smallpox oc­
curred in the United States.
National reporting suggests
that it was in 1949 during an
outbreak o f smallpox in the
lower Rio Grande Valley,
Texas.
A ll M a « « « M ■ ( M t la Somalla « h aa hr came down « Ilk unaHpo«
Iw a r a a n age. W haa ba racovaand ba harama iba I n i rat or dad r a w of

Because smallpox took so
many lives, it was once con­
sidered one o f the world's
most dreaded diseases. The
disease, caused by a virus,
often left the survivors with
distinct disfiguring scars.
Dr. Donald Hopkins,
Assistant Director o f Opera­
tions at the Center for
Disease Control, and a leader
in the fight against the
disease, said that by early in
1980 there w ill be six
laboratories in the world that
have smallpox viruses. These
laboratories, in Atlanta,
Moscow, London, Tokyo,
Peking, and Johannesburg,
have been designated to keep
the viruses fo r future
research if this becomes
necessary.
In Atlanta, Georgia, the
laboratory, at the National
Center for Disease Control,
is one o f the last refuges o f
the smallpox virus that has
spread panic and killed
m illions o f people fo r
thousands o f years. In drab
freezers in the laboratory in
Atlanta are more than 300
specimens o f the bizarre and
rancorous virus. Stored at
temperatures o f 94 degrees
below zero are specimens
from deadly outbreaks which
occurred throughout the
world in which almost half o f
the patients died.
The United States has
almost enough vaccine
stockpiled to protect 200,000
people. The vaccine is stored
at Wyeth Laboratories in
Marietta, Pennsylvania. This
stockpile will be maintained
indefinitely.
Some health experts think
it likely, though not com­
pletely proved, that the
smallpox virus has been
eliminated on earth. This is
the first time that a major
killer o f mankind has been
eliminated—a major achieve­
ment in medical science.
Dr. David J. Sencer,
former director o f CDC,
said, “ Anyone who has had
an opportunity to participate
in the smallpox eradication
program w ill never forget the
th rill o f the achievement o f
eradication—to see that peo­
ple can work together—all
colors, all religions, and all
political beliefs—to bring
about complete destruction
o f a disease. It is a very th rill­
ing thing to have been a part
o f this campaign. I don’t
think that anyone who has
had anything to do with the
program w ill ever forget it.”
