Researchers create virus capable of killing 4B people
Thank goodness for academic freedom. We might not have known exactly which genes needed to mutate to turn a relatively non-contagious form of deadly bird flu into a quick spreading pandemic nightmare. But now we know.
How could anyone be this careless? This crazy?
I really like this part:
The study was carried out by a Dutch team of scientists led by Ron Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, where the mutated virus is stored under lock and key, but without armed guards, in a basement building.
Good to know. Luckily there aren't any really bad people that would want to know where to find a virus that could kill 60% of those it infects. Luckily.

Of all the weapons we have at our disposal to protect this virus from falling into the wrong hands, out of all of them - every single one of them, some of them will be used.
ROFL
I love how they're like, "this could help us develop a vaccine."
Q: If this causes a pandemic and kills billions (with a "B") of people, how will they respond to that one?
a. Whoops
b. My bad
c. I don't like people anyway
d. Please reload the bong
