Plague Death Came Within Hours, Spurred by Scientist's Medical Condition - Bloomberg
"University of Chicago infectious disease specialist Ken Alexander still remembers the shock he felt almost 18 months ago when his pager shook with the message that a colleague had died from
the plague.
A half-hour later, Alexander was sitting at a table in the dean’s office with researchers, lawyers, administrators and campus security officers, he recalled in an interview.
The stricken colleague,
Malcolm Casadaban, a 60-year-old genetics and cell biology professor, had checked into a hospital five days earlier and died within hours. Lab results were positive for the plague, and the university’s “biosafety fire alarm” had been triggered, Alexander said.
“The first question was: Do we think this is real,” Alexander, chief of infectious diseases at the university’s pediatrics department, said yesterday in a telephone interview. “The answer was yes. So the onus was upon us to do two things; to notify the health infrastructure and act as if this were a worst-case scenario.”
That meeting on Sept. 18, 2009, began an investigation into the medical mystery of Casadaban’s illness that concluded with a report detailing the events, published yesterday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta."
Well even if "they" could create a virus that could alter DNA enough to change a human, at least we can be 100% positive it could NEVER escape the labs.
I like the movie SERENITY and the TV show FIREFLY's take on zombies. Reavers, men and women driven insane by the governments desire to make them calmer and happier by adding drugs to the air.
I know I am crazy, they have pointed this out on other threads
now where did I put my tin-foil hat
I think we need one of the "smillies" with a tin-foil hat
