Flu: The Next Terror Weapon?


LONDON (Reuters) - Forget anthrax and smallpox. Influenza could easily 
be turned into the next weapon ofmass destruction, scientists said on 
Tuesday.

They sounded their warning as researchers come close to completing the 
blueprint for the virus of the 1918 'flu epidemic that killed up to 40 
million people globally.[cont.]

Since so many here were quite worried about SARS I thought I should 
share this bit of cheerful news.

Signature Memetic Virus--The worst enemy of those who now or will need medical 
care is the politician and proselytizing religious fanatic who proscribes what 
doctors are allowed to prescribe and research, with the consent of their 
patients. Those who understand this are strongly encouraged to modify this to 
fit their personality, and add this to their signature file, and organize to 
recover our freedom from Big Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it
will be too late. Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by
fetal tissue research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the right
to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse, deferred their 
responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to useless gods and 
pontificating religious quacks, while they remained ill and dying.
