Editor’s Note: This week, the World Medical Association (WMA) convened medical leaders from all over the world in Washington, D.C., to address the prevention and management of chemical and biological warfare as part of its larger general assembly taking place Oct. 2-6. With eerie foresight, the WMA decided three years ago to dedicate the scientific session of this assembly to this topic, which has turned out to be prophetically appropriate in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and during the present climate of concern over weapons of mass destruction.
Best poised to discuss both present and future levels of threat and preparedness is world-renowned bioterrorism expert D. A. Henderson, MD, MPH, former director of the U.S. Office of Public Health Preparedness and of the Johns Hopkins Center for Civilian Biodefense Strategies, and currently a senior science advisor to the Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Henderson, who was instrumental in smallpox eradication years ago, moderated and presented at the WMA meeting on “Bioterrorism: Present Realities and Future Prospects” and on “Smallpox as a Bioweapon.”
