In November at an influenza conference in Malta, virologist Ron Fouchier announced that he had created "probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make." In December, U.S. health officials urged Foucher and another group at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who performed similar research not to publish their recipe for the super deadly avian flu strain, which could kill half the world's humans.

Well This sure does make me feel great. At least we know that we have a couple of months before someone screws up.

I still don't understand why they would publish (as they call it) the recipe for this, when it has this kind of potential. All we need is a terrorist group or rogue nation to get a hold of this and thats all she wrote.


I will add this link as well because I know some of you won't like the first source.

These scientists have to be literally mentally ill. You don't create such a thing and then announce it. You either destroy it immediately, or, well, is there a second choice? You destroy it immediately, not brag about it.

WHEW!!!

Thank God Big Pharma still has the corner on this market. Too many liberal do-gooders demanding open access to scientific information could kill the golden goose.
