"just because you are a character, doesn't mean you have character"
Wait, you thought that sixty million people died of Smallpox in 2002? Hmm...
shareIs that any different from a million people in 1938 believing that a Martian army was attacking New York City?
And in case you haven't heard of this before, there was a Halloween radio broadcast of "The War of the Worlds" in news broadcast format. It is estimated that a million people thought they were REAL newscasts. Some even tried to commit suicide before the Martians got them.

That was my first thought when I saw the warning on the US show (I don't konw if it's the same one). And actually, they had two warnings of such nature during the War of the World's broadcast and not enough people heard them.
That's entirely different. Smallpox was presented in a retrospective way, like a documentary, not as breaking news.
And if you thought that sixty million people, including one million Americans died of Smallpox in 2002, you're none too sharp.
