T-Rex: Smallpox! It's a horrible disease, but it's one of the few which, through decades of work, we've managed to eradicate worldwide! Great work, scientists! No greater act of love has ever been done in medicine!
T-Rex: Yep! NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG NOW!
Dromiceiomimus: Actually, T-Rex, while it COULD'VE been eradicated in the 70s, scientists then kept some in cold storage, just in case it would ever be useful in the future. So it's still around.
T-Rex: Oh.
Dromiceiomimus: Aaaand that's assuming all nations are being honest when they say they haven't kept any samples for themselves, which is almost certainly not the case.
Utahraptor: Plus it's ignoring extant smallpox scabs, like those found pressed in the pages of a book in the 2000s!
T-Rex: Oh.
Utahraptor: Not to mention the smallpox vials found in an old FDA storage room just a few years ago. And even if it WERE extinct, scientists THIS VERY YEAR synthesized extinct horsepox with mail-order DNA fragments. Recreating smallpox would be just as easy.
T-Rex: I see.
T-Rex: Welp, instead of "nothing could possibly go wrong now", which sets me up for ironic comeuppance FULLY 100% OF THE TIME, now I'll only say "some things could very easily go wrong now!"
Off panel: Do you think it'll help?
T-Rex: I won't lie, some things could very easily go wrong now
