A forgotten part of the false Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) charge that was used to justify the U.S. invasion of Iraq was the smallpox vaccination campaign pitched by President George W. Bush in his state of the Union address in 2003. Few of the public responded but mass vaccination of soldiers against the non-existent threat was ordered. There was intense debate about compensation in the Congress. The vaccination campaign and its lessons are examined in my Reactions and Overreactions: Smallpox Vaccination, Complications, and Compensation. Mass vaccination campaigns - particularly the Swine Flu campaign of 1974 are also discussed in my Will the Post 9/11 World be a Post-Tort World? (2007)
