I heard of the story in Texas about the HPV virus; started lookin for who discovered it. found the following,
www.philly.com...
the above link is about the man who discovered the HPV connection.
www.nlm.nih.gov...
this one is about the people who backed the research. in the first link can be found this interesting bit of info....

"It was hard to keep the postdocs interested," zur Hausen recalled. "Not everyone was convinced this was a good project."
They read enviously about more promising projects to find genes that could turn cancer on, and wished they, too, were researching "oncogenes."
Please visit the link provided for the complete story.
why do they want to turn viruses on?
it is also worthy to note that Mr. Werner Henle is a member of the World Health Org. and has served as an advisor to the US military on a variety of
occasions (see 2nd link provided).
