Smallpox has been eradicated. It only exists in isolated repositories in highly protected government facilities in both the United States and Russia. Whilst there is currently no chance of a person contracting smallpox, it is conceivable that specimens from the stockpile, which was supposed to be destroyed back in 1993, could be used in biological warfare. They are still available for scientists to study.
