Yep, it's true. BBC had this as the top story tonight NAm time on their
0200 edition of The World Today. Apparently an American company that
sends out flu virus samples to calibrate testing equipment accidentally
sent out copies of a flu virus that killed 4 million people in 1957, and
that had been eradicated by 1968. The whole situation is kinda murky
based on what the BBC reported, as to why this particular virus was sent
out. The 1957 pandemic was described as relatively mild, but nobody born
after at the latest 1968 has any resistance to this particular flu
virus, and with modern transport being what it is this virus could
spread a LOT faster than in 1957. Most of the samples were sent to labs
in the US and Canada, but a small fraction (60 out of 3700) were sent to
foreign labs, and they may not be able to track every lab that got a
copy. You can BET that Al Qaeda is jumping at this opportunity to
unleash a massive pandemic against the West due to the West's own
incompetence. All they would have to do is get one of the untracked
copies, inject the virus into a recruit willing to be the ultimate
suicide bomber, and drop him into the middle of midtown Manhattan. Once
the virus had been discovered it would be too late to make a vaccine,
and the authorities could only watch helplessly as millions die. Just
remember to thank Corporate America as you're dying, sheep.
