There's something we need.

I wonder if Dr. Kawaoka knows about the fate of Gerald Bull.

Doesn’t the university exercise any oversight for these activities. They actually approved it?

They need to start finding medicines to fight the infections that folks are getting from surgeries. There are people dying everyday from these infections because there are no medicines that will take care of the infections. They get blood and bladder infections and some end up going to the brain.
