killer flu and really dumb smart people

so research on creating a more virulent and deadly for of the avian flu has been stopped for 60 days..

apperently the scientists think if the make it in a lab now it is safer and they will know what to look for and worry about when nature makes it ..decades from now ..

2/3rds the way down there is a line that says no one involved apperently thout of the risks..did they not read the stand or watch the movie ..

anyway here is the article

Like firing particles at cern, why? Power over God? The ultimate grandiosity I think, Lords of life and death. There will be tears before bedtime.

Anyone remember the book "The Stand"? A fictional book yes, but sometimes fiction can become reality in a second. And all it takes is one "oops"

yes, I remember that book. Freaked me out at the time (over 30 years ago, wasn't it?)

What I see with this news is a problem-reaction-solution being set up. I've heard talk of a "universal" flu vaccine lately. What a perfect opportunity to force everyone to take a mandatory vaccine.

Another thing I noticed is the one-eye symbolism in the photo. A clue, perhaps?

What people need to start asking questions on are why are level 4 contagions being kept and developed in level 2 bio containment...

That, to me, is just ASKING to 'escape'.
