Engineered Avian Flu

It might be hoax but if it's true that doesn't bode well for the world. There's a lot of crappy diseases even without that. What if some big fat and rich corporation would want to go "deus ex" and create another "grey death". Power, money, population control and all that mumbo jumbo.

A Big Game Like that, Same with Movies like Terminator and WALL-E should be lessons to learn from to prevent such stuff from happening.

How is this different than saying I build a bomb and I`m going to show you how I made it.

because a virus can replicate and mutate in nature without any human interaction compared to bombs.

Nothing (unfortunately) can change the essence of human nature. Megalomania, inflated sense of self-esteem, lust for power and so on and so forth will always be there. People should push technology and science further and further not for the money, war or power but for the people, for science itself and for making lives better. But I doubt it's gonna be that way. And what do we have now? Millions of jobless and homeless people, crowds of tasteless superstars and mountains of useless gimmicks? It all definitely gone wrong the moment when humanity started to estrange itself from the nature. And you said Wall-E, I just thought about that. In the end people would become so helpless useless and weak and environment would get so fucked up that people can't even survive without bionics and genetic engineering. Well that's some kind of classic apocalyptic Repomen or Deus Ex scenario, I digress.

When the black hats post how to exploit this or that vulnerability is one thing but when it comes to real, not computer, viruses that's definitely getting scary. Unfortunately humans ain't no OS, you can't patch your vulnerabilities every second Tuesday of each month.

The sickest part of it is that H5N1 isn't the worst they have at those facilities. They have VX nerve gas and many other viruses/poisons that have a 99.98% mortality rate and in massive quantities.

Ya exactly I'm willing to bet they still study even the old stuff like zyclone-B just to see if they can slow the effects of nerve damage. If people think the flu is bad you should take a whiff of that shit.

Because this is science. You know I don't think all of us are naive enough to think he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart. Yes I know this will get him on the front of some science mag, I know every science journalist will pay attention to his articles for the next 3 years. He will milk this discovery for the next year and use it to get into VIP parties for the next 5. Phizer Bayer and other pharmaceuticals will make private contracts with him to modify the chemical properties of mydol so you're wife doesn't bitch do much at the end of the month because her tummie hurts. Science is science. Scientists look for and discover new shit and tell people about it. That is their job. We should already have people working that aren't scientists keeping these documents out of terrorists hands. That said I don't think he should
Be attacked for wanting to tell people or show them how it's done. It shouldn't be and isn't his job to work out the political, military, and global reaction to his research. That should be someone else's problem.

Do you have any idea what it takes to "make" a virus?

Hint: a lot of money, time, facilities, skill, patients, and test subjects.

All that can be provided by a Government or one of it's organizations to produce a weapon so deadly it can essentially almost kill an entire planet. Why does that not sound like a far fetched idea.

 

[Frederik S]

I can imagine all the terrorists of the world giving his post a +1!! Yay!!

 

[WhiteLotus]

MONEY: a terrorist group hell-bent on "raising terror" can accumulate the amount required...

TIME: terrorist groups have all the time in the world...

FACILITIES: terrorists are really good at improvising which would also make the money problem less of a problem (my grammar sucks hahaha bear with me )...

SKILL: I would bet they have/could find people skilled enough...

PATIENTS/TEST SUBJECTS: us (what better way to test it than to release it at some highly populated place and let the police/government/hospitals count how many are infected/dead to see how deadly it is)

it wouldn't be that easy to "make" the virus but once they know how to what's gonna stop them from trying to make one..

And where would they find the originals? The only two places in the world that house deadly viruses and such is the CDC in Atlanta, and the whateveritscalled in Russia. That's it.

The worst possible thing they could do is to make the Rabies virus airborne. That is the only known virus with 100% kill rate.

ya and lets give that info to the whole world for crying outloud on an unsecure server.

 

[NinkobEi]

Just as long as he doesnt create an airborn ebola virus. Then we'd be in serious troubles

 

[eidairaman1]

I say UN/NATO Take em out

 

[CrypticDecipher]

He won't be taken out or have any threats against his life. No government would want to risk it. And what if they do try and quiet him or kill him.....what if they fail??? Then we might have a serious problem on our hands.

Still flu isn't DEAD certain to kill people, its mostly frail or weak immune systems and people with other conditions. H1N1 aka Swine Flu was supposed to wipe everyone out and that didnt.

Because it didnt spread far or fast enough and the ones most susceptible to it were Children and Elderly, just like normal flu,

I however was inoculated against it, same with typhoid fever, yellow fever, small pox, and regular flu.

I look at the movie- I am Legend- dont mess with the natural order of things otherwise it will kick you in the ass big time

Are you Kidding??! Its more than likely a branch of the government that is providing his funding.

I look at the movie- I am Legend-

ROFL for at least a minute.

 

[Super XP]

You think this is bad, this is nothing compared to other crap these people have been playing with. Anyhow just like the Flu Shot, a bunch of nonesense.

Just thought I'd and to the other TPU conspiracies on this thread.....Umbrella corporation!

 

[MilkyWay]

Flu as a weapon LOL some people crack me up. Unless a phsyco wanted to make the entire human population sick its pretty ineffective.

Swine Flu was everywhere, same with Bird Flu there's a reason they called them epidemics. On a similar tangent SARS was meant to spread all over Asia and wipe out the planet. Scientists are always tampering like this in labs.

Careful what you say...

Last week a guy in colorado got chucked in the federal slammer "Indefinitely" for threatening to grow medical weed. He didn't even have any in his possession. And it's legal in colorado.

On the other hand, those people act as if they're sick to get that medical weed from the shop. That shit needs to stop. If it was me, I'd have beaten him down for saying such thing. People aren't overexaggerating, drugs are a huge issue in this country, let alone parts of Europe where it's legal.

Yeah, I agree.

But at the same time, it was legal at the state level, but at the federal level, its still a felony, I think.

So much for freedom of speech...

 

[CJCerny]

I never worry about this kind of thing. History is full of examples where someone has invented something that could be used as a horrific weapon (gunpowder, repeating rifles, nerve agents, bio-engineered diseases, nuclear weapons, etc.) against a majority of the population, but we're all still here. What people always forget is that there are just as many, if not more, very smart people who work on solutions to such problems. When AIDS was new 30 years ago, there were lots of stories about how we were all doomed. I'm not feeling so doomed at the moment.

 

[de.das.dude]

People like this should have no place in society. Maybe they belong more in an underground lab in a volcano on the moon.

exactly we should kill that moderfucker before he kills us all. i bet he has already made and anti-virus for himself.
