Ron Fouchier, a giant of a man at more than two meters tall (6'6"), has dark circles under his eyes. His life has been stressful lately. "They want to paint me as a homicidal idiot," he says heatedly. He is referring, most of all, to a powerful institution from the United States, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB). …
Fouchier is attracting so much attention because he has created a new organism. And although it is tiny, if it escaped from his laboratory it would claim far more human lives than an exploding nuclear power plant.
The pathogen is a new mutation of the feared bird flu virus, H5N1. In nature, this virus, which kills one of every two people infected, has not yet been transmitted from humans to humans. So far, a relatively small number of people have caught the virus from poultry, and 336 people have died. …

The government creating killer viruses in labs across the world and nation in the hope of hopefully curing them is insanity.
They have taken the business of terrorism up close and personal and become the humanist terrorist producers themselves.
Given the elitists controling the government and private industry are humanists; amoral and into eugentics, this is a serious problem that conservatives don’t want to deal with. Some of Obammy’s Czars would kill you just as soon as look at you stupid people.
