Possible reason they’re working on a smallpox treatment: same reason the military has been giving smallpox vaccinations since 9/11. We KNOW the bad guys have some smallpox, and that weaponizing it would be effective– it’s not enough to have our military and some support be resistant, we’ve got to have some treatment to keep the country going when/if they use it against us.
I expect smallpox vaccinations to become more common, too.
