, the polio virus vaccine is, because those vaccines have been extraordinarily effective. they've allowed us to eliminate the disease entirely, and i think we have to acknowledge the fact that we would have a big impact, even if a vaccine was 50% protective. knowing that a vaccine may be years away, what can we do now to lessen the devastating impact this disease has on people's lives? so the way to protect yourself against h.i.v. is to, number one-- know your sexual partner. know that you are in a monogamous relationship with an h.i.v.-negative person, or abstain from sexual intercourse, or always, always use a condom 100% of the time, a good, clean condom that is not in somebody's pocket for the last 10 years before he takes it out, doesn't have a tear on it. it's a good condom, it's used properly. second way not to get h.i.v. is not to use needles, and clearly, not to use needles that are shared with somebody else. you must understand the importance of you. you must understand that for once, you can be selfish and self-centered about your life. when two people engage in

the vaccine is a different virus. it's cowpox. and so you can produce lots of smallpox vaccine without needing the virus itself. the other interesting component of the smallpox story is that the fact that the disease has been eradicated and the fact that we stopped vaccinating the populations has made it a potentially very desirable bioterrorism agent. it's a highly transmissible illness. the levels of immunity in the population, not only of the united states but everywhere else in the world, is quite low. the world community will face similar questions once polio and measles are eradicated. with measles and with polio, the story is much more complicated, because you do need the viruses to make the vaccine. in recent years, a strike force of deadly microbes has taken aim at the world. because these bacteria and viruses multiply quickly, they evolve rapidly into even more aggressive strains. most people, when they think of these emerging infectious diseases, think about them happening in sudan, or in the middle of africa, or in the
