Is it a part of Pharma? I thought it said it was a subsidiary of Merk or is that simply a subsidiary of Pharma ?

Was just referring to the fact it was a Pharmaceutical company that 'generated' the disiease. You are right.

What I don't get is why the blummin blimey are they there??
The vaccine they developed from the last biggie wasn't even used.. and still won't again..

It's like having a bubonic plague research centre in the middle of London and when people get infected Tony Blair says just burn the victims.. don't use the vaccine.

Why take the risk if you've no intention of using the beneficial results from it? DUH!!

Oh Sorry, I thought Pharma was some sort of company.

I think the reason they are there is to be close to the discoveries and they co-share info.

I mean Middle Wallop has the UK's Apache Longbow base yet just across the road is a big private weapons research factory

A laboratory run by Merial Animal Health Ltd, a company jointly owned by U.S. drugmaker Merck & Co. Inc and France's Sanofi-Aventis SA,

Now its being said the US company werent responsible.
Seems like mud slinging to me "OOOOHHH its them........No its them.......
