Insufficient weight has been given to whether there are groups or individuals who are capable or have demonstrated the intent to use smallpox as a weapon, which should be key factors in evaluating the level of threat posed by the virus. To address the issue of the gap in the specific risk assessment of a smallpox attack, the following issues will be considered: (1) capability whether smallpox is a realistic agent for terrorists to use; (2) motivation what types of terrorists might pursue smallpox as a bioweapon; and (3) deterrence whether current U.S. and international policies are likely to impact this decision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 11.02 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43158151200831,"sku":"9781502416544","price":20.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/E8-lAEo5YK9781502416544_a36c5f5f-26a3-43b6-974a-022e0bf62b6a.webp?v=1776987377","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/smallpox-as-a-bioweapon-should-we-be-concerned-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
