Dr. Paulo J. Reyes is an ER Doctor in
Los Angeles, California. He has had extensive
training for disasters as a First Responder and
his extensive research for this book.
Paulo J. Reyes. M.D. was born in the San Joaquin
Valley and grew up in the foothills of the sierras
where he attended the UCSF School of Medicine
and obtained his MD.
He subsequently trained at UCLA. He has over 25 years experience in ER medicine
and internal medicine and is a First Responder for the busiest cities in California.
He has first
hand disaster recovery experience and participated in various disaster
relief efforts
in California including the Air Mexicana crash in 1986, the last major earthquake in
L.A. in 1994, and the influenza epidemic 1997-1998.
He's also the author of Health-Care Reform or redistribution of Cost? His research
of
the health care system has given him a unique insight into its shortcomings.
Realizing that there exist a clear and present danger of a terrorist attack today
leads him to agree with the proponent of voluntary smallpox vaccination. He
himself
has been vaccinated against smallpox and understands the difficulty
of obtaining
the vaccine.
*Dr. Reyes is presently working on a new book, a sequel.
Paulo J. Reyes Speaks on Smallpox and The Need for Vaccinations.
Although it is considered a dead disease, its presence in certain laboratories is
widely acknowledged. Thus, it is highly possible that it's available and could cause
a current outbreak.
Smallpox may present atypically and evade detection. If the disease occurs,
it will present in a very unnatural way. That is, it will present as a result of a
deliberate act
to cause devastation. The CDC considers smallpox a possible danger. They include it
as one of the possible agents of a bioterrorist attack, and as such,
they advise us to prepare for it. This is indicated in the CDC website under the subheading EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE along with anthrax,
plague, tularemia, etc.
The federal government should allow voluntary smallpox vaccinations to protect us
from smallpox bioterrorist attack. At the very least, the Federal Government should allow the voluntary vaccinations of the first responders, which probably should
include
all hospital medical staff. The President and the military have been
vaccinated,
shouldn't the American people? We should explore the development
of a rapid assay
to detect the presence of the virus (similar to the pregnancy test)
so if the disease presents itself we will be able to detect it before it unravels into an epidemic or pandemic....
It is naive to believe that we will be able to identify it clinically if it presents, thus
making a rapid assay unnecessary. If we can't detect it early enough it will
overwhelm the emergency medical systems, which would be the intent of the perpetrators.
Our community is immuno-naive to smallpox, that is, there is little
to no immunity to
the virus, thus the virus could spread rapidly. One is left with the conclusion that our
first line of defense will not work (ring vaccinations). For this to
work we would have to identify the smallpox outbreak early and isolate those
exposed.
Containment would be made more difficult or impossible if the virus were
aerosolized and the CDC seems to believe that the smallpox virus may be
aerosolized.
To protect an individual from the virus, the individual must be
vaccinated against the virus since there is no other therapy. The general public
should be allowed on a voluntary basis to be vaccinated against smallpox.
Why then are we not vaccinating the American public? Reasons are given that
make
little sense. Should government make this decision for us or should there
be more debate on this issue?
I welcome the opportunity to present these facts so that the public can be
informed
and protected. Years of extensive research shows we need to do more.
Lets stand together while it's a voluntary decision and not force upon by others.
