I Think the Global Infection Experts FUCKED UP on Smallpox

I'm not a 'back of a Cornklake packet' expert like you, Hawk, but I think there would be a world of difference between mapping and recreating, no?

And who knows, if there is a map which in any way helps unlock what is happening in present and future viruses, isn't that a good thing?


From The Guardian.....
"Before beginning the investigation, the Guardian obtained advice from four independent scientists, including an international expert on pox viruses, the family to which smallpox belongs. They told us the order would be safe to produce, transport and receive....."

You must have really freaked when Jurassic Park divulged all that stuff about how to make a T.Rex.

DON'T PANIC! DON'T PANIC!

No, but I do have doubts about discontinuing such a successful vaccine. It may have had some bad side effects, but right now, we've got a completely vulnerable population, and even if CDC does have some clue as to where the samples are actually located, the US isn't the only country with such facilities.

There is NO purpose to storing smallpox outside the military agenda.
It is concerning that it can be spliced into gmo's, but it negates the already-present antibody-resistant gene.
Monsatan wouldn't dare - would they?
I'm ok, I have a cow and 3 milkmaids.

So why are scientists almost universally saying " dont kill it, we need to study it"? What are they up to, is this maybe all about keeping the job going, these guys dont want to move on to a new line of work?

It has a purpose - That 'purpose' is 'biological-warfare'.
I would destroy every trace of it - But I am not in charge of things.
