By the way, I heard on NPR radio that many people in Brazil were suffering from a pox that looked identical to the strain given for prevention of smallpox. It was not fatal, but people were incapacitated for a month or so. No mention of it in the national media.

It seems there is a 98.2% probability that this virus is a mutant of the vaccinia virus used to prevent the spread of smallpox in Brazil over twenty years ago. Although presently not fatal, the strain has produced increasingly alarming symptoms and scientists are concerned it could develop into something really nasty within another five years if precautions are not taken.
You are right that, so far as I can ascertain, no other news agency has so far carried this story.
