Doomsday 2012. The End Of Days 4(History channel)
When is doomsday?
I like to watch history channel sometimes only if it envloves weapons or doomsday well this week they where talking about this O so called doomsday about this disease called ''SmallPox''
This is what they said
''In the future the deadliest weapon of mass destruction of mankind will be smallpox
So is this true? and what year will this be? Or is this a possiblity of smallpox or will it b a different weapon?
It might be true, it might not. There are many dangerous things that might happen, including biological weapons (smallpox included), nuclear weapons, nano-bots gone out of control, asteroids colliding with the Earth, climate change, and a million other things.
It has always been like this. For most of my own life, lots of people expected the Soviet Union to start World War III any day. It didn't happen. For one thing, people who are able to make sophisticated weapons, like this so-called "doomsday smallpox weapon", aren't stupid. Since they aren't stupid, they probably aren't going to destroy the only planet we can inhabit. It's fine to know about all this stuff, but don't spend your time worrying about it.
Incidentally, smallpox did actually kill tens of thousands of people in the 18th century and earlier, but it has been eradicated since that time, except for samples of the virus kept at heavily guarded laboratories in case it is necessary to develop a vaccine against it again some day.
One more thing: Nobody knows what doomsday is going to be like, or when, or even whether or not there will ever be such a day. Some people will try to tell you otherwise. Don't buy it.
