Studies Of Deadly Flu Virus, Once Banned- Set To Resume
[link to www.nytimes.com (secure)]

Research that could make flu viruses more dangerous, and that the government suspended in 2014 because of safety concerns, has been approved to begin again, federal officials have confirmed.

The government did not publicly announce its decisions in recent months to allow two labs to resume their projects. The new go-ahead was first reported in the journal Science.

The lack of information about the decision and how it was made have provoked outrage from some scientists, who oppose the research because they say it could create mutant viruses that might cause deadly pandemics if they were unleashed by lab accidents or terrorism. The research sparked worldwide fears when it was first revealed in 2011.

The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost.

"Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said it was a sound decision to let the research resume. The money for some of the Wisconsin research — $605,206 — will come from his institute."

This is the same Dr. Fauci who on Wednesday testified before a congressional committee that the MMR vaccine did not cause encephelopathy. When that adverse event is listed on the fucking vax insert AND is a compensatory category for vax injury in vax court. So I wouldn't take much comfort in what he says...

Re: Studies Of Deadly Flu Virus, Once Banned- Set To Resume
why are they studying it!?? what do they hope to achieve? If they are trying to cure the flu(which they wont be because there's no money in doing that) then i would say ok, do it, its safer than Ebola anyway and we need to work on that to cure it also. But lets face it they dont want to cure the flu, they want their ridiculous vaccines.

“Making decisions to approve potentially dangerous research in secret betrays the government’s responsibility to inform and involve the public when approving endeavors, whether scientific or otherwise, that could put health and lives at risk,” the scientists wrote in the Washington Post on Wednesday.

In an interview, Dr. Lipsitch said lab accidents do occur, often involving human errors that biosafety and security measures cannot prevent. In several cases, he said, people mistakenly sent germ samples from a lab thinking they had been inactivated when the samples were actually live and dangerous.

Dr Fauci has no problem lying to Congress, why should he have an issue with lying to the public? Follow the $$

The "flu" was anthrax spread on the wool blankets and uniforms of WWI

The government agencies who are entrusted with the health of this nation have been completely and utterly captured by Pharmagov. FDA, CDC and DEA- I don't even know how you fix it.

Just so everyone understands...

These are some of the deadliest viruses on this planet. CDC has fucked up in the past handling stuff like this.
