They do this stuff because they CAN. ThHy are all living on NSF and chasing other grant dollars... so it pays to ‘research’ whether or not the project matters.

Psalm 91:3 NIV
Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.

Habakkuk’s Prayer
3 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet. On shigionoth.[a]

2 Lord, I have heard of your fame;
I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord.
Repeat them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy.

3 God came from Teman,
the Holy One from Mount Paran.[b]
His glory covered the heavens
and his praise filled the earth.
4 His splendor was like the sunrise;
rays flashed from his hand,
where his power was hidden.
5 Plague went before him;
pestilence followed his steps.
6 He stood, and shook the earth;
he looked, and made the nations tremble.
The ancient mountains crumbled
and the age-old hills collapsed—
but he marches on forever.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress,
the dwellings of Midian in anguish.

8 Were you angry with the rivers, Lord?
Was your wrath against the streams?
Did you rage against the sea
when you rode your horses
and your chariots to victory?
9 You uncovered your bow,
you called for many arrows.
You split the earth with rivers;
10 the mountains saw you and writhed.
Torrents of water swept by;
the deep roared
and lifted its waves on high.

11 Sun and moon stood still in the heavens
at the glint of your flying arrows,
at the lightning of your flashing spear.
12 In wrath you strode through the earth
and in anger you threshed the nations.
13 You came out to deliver your people,
to save your anointed one.
You crushed the leader of the land of wickedness,
you stripped him from head to foot.
14 With his own spear you pierced his head
when his warriors stormed out to scatter us,
gloating as though about to devour
the wretched who were in hiding.
15 You trampled the sea with your horses,
churning the great waters.

16 I heard and my heart pounded,
my lips quivered at the sound;
decay crept into my bones,
and my legs trembled.
Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity
to come on the nation invading us.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.

For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

Footnotes
Habakkuk 3:1 Probably a literary or musical term
Habakkuk 3:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the middle of verse 9 and at the end of verse 13.

Why is not the question. It’s why not. The answer is a lack of ethics. That tends to be rooted in nihilism and casual post modernism. I write casual because these scientists are not schooled in either. They are so focused on “the science” that they have neglected a basic education, exploration and understanding of things greater than man; namely God.

I think that’s the opening scene of outbreak - no positive, but that’s a Blu-82 Daisey Cutter

They see the virus as a ‘building block’, like an Erector Set or Tinker Toy.

Their goal id a Nobel Prize.

The consequences be damned..........................

Red Badger :" “In the latest news, a team of scientists in Canada and the U.S. report that they have re-created the 1918 influenza virus
and used it to infect macaques,” says Salzberg.
“Let’s be clear here: the 1918 flu vanished from the Earth, long ago.
It’s simply not a threat, or it least it wasn’t, until someone figured out a way to bring it back.”

"Gee, thanks, Big Brains! "

EXACTLY TRUE !
WHY ???
Don't let Fauxi anywhere near it,
especially now that the CDC admits lying, ignoring adverse conditions and outright falsehoods, and making things up !

What’s even more remarkable about the 1918 flu, say infectious disease experts, is that it never really went away. After infecting an estimated 500 million people worldwide in 1918 and 1919 (a third of the global population), the H1N1 strain that caused the Spanish flu receded into the background and stuck around as the regular seasonal flu.

They never really go away they just evolve into something highly infectious but benign. The line has a hard time continuing if one of its features is kill the carrier.

IIRC, cytokine storm. The younger an adult they were the more intense the reaction.

Yep. Their immune system went into hyper drive and in 24 to 36 hours later after their first symptoms, their lungs filled with fluid and they drowned. A bacterial infection typically doesn’t happen that fast.

...the Swine Flu of 1976 was supposed to be the Spanish Flu reborn. It was a dud.

_________________________________________________

If your parents survived the 1918 epidemic, would their natural immunity be passed on? Grandparents?

Early in the C19 hoax, an epidemiologist stated that over 80% of all Americans carried a natural immunity to coronavirus of many different strains. even with a *new variant*, natural immunity to a previous strain would be able to provoke a cross-immunity.

More fear porn, IMO.
