Careful what you say...

tbh, my opinion is that all those anti-terrorist "organizations" can suck my unit, especially since i'm not in the us. but should they actually decide to bust my ass, i better make sure i get all the media coverage i can and go sue those c*nts for some gazzilions after they've had their fun with me (amazing trolling opportunity). :toast:

btw i wouldn't be amazed to find out that my os has a default keylogger that sends everything i type to the "authorities" and every time somebody types the word "terrorist" it ends up on somebody's display for potential threat assessment + this post could potentially cause me issues if i ever wanted to get a us visa. :rolleyes: they've got my number, yours too.

The real question is why isn't there an H5N1 vaccine yet? I'm sure that's partly due to the fact that there is no humanize form of the virus in the wild. But if the virus can be modified to infect humans, I think having a substantial inventory of the vaccine would be enough to mute or discourage any attempt at bioterror.

Most likely this new form of the virus would take a disproportionate toll on those who are young and healthy but who do not have the immune system repertoire that older people have - just like the 2009 swine flu scare.

They added h1n1 vaccines in with the Flu shot. at least that is what I was told last year when I got one.

h1n1 was the biggest and most profitable bs pharmaceutical companies ever made - fatality rate of the ordinary flu is almost equal, the only difference is media doesn't cause shitstorm when somebody dies from it. they created fear and therefore demand for just another batch of flu shots.

my bet is h5n1 is not dissimilar.

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.

Previously called the Spanish flu, and that's what ended World War I. It killed somewhere in the region of 60 million people. Those that survived have some kind of immunity to it, and had herd immunity.

Details of lab-made bird flu won't be revealed

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. government paid scientists to figure out how the deadly bird flu virus might mutate to become a bigger threat to people — and two labs succeeded in creating new strains that are easier to spread.

On Tuesday, federal officials took the unprecedented step of asking those scientists not to publicize all the details of how they did it.

The worry: That this research with lots of potential to help the public might also be hijacked by would-be bioterrorists. The labs found that it appears easier than scientists had thought for the so-called H5N1 bird flu to evolve in a way that lets it spread easily between at least some mammals.

"It wasn't an easy decision," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious diseases chief at the National Institutes of Health, which funded the original research.

One day it will become public knowledge. I hope by that time they have a vaccine. I really don't see a reason why they would have to reveal such a thing anyway.

Also I thought it was already known? All the US government did was ask them not to give the blue print out.

Why pay them to figure out how to mutate it instead of dishing out more funding for a cure? That's just stupid if you ask me...

It's all part of searching for a "cure", or more realistically, a vaccine.

In layman's terms, all they did was make a mutation quicker and seem more drastic than would probably happen anyway, except you don't have to wait for years for the virus to mutate by itself through several "batches" of victims.

Exactly. They are looking for a vaccine. Even the uber rich know if that thing mutates it wont matter how much money they have.

Bird flu researchers agree to 60-day halt

"Resulting from concerns about recent research on avian influenza, scientists working on transmission of the H5N1 strain have agreed to halt this area of research for 60 days to allow time for international discussion," said the letter from the researchers, published by the journals Science and Nature.

60 days lol it's an eyeroller

The US journal Science and the British magazine Nature have been working with researchers on edits to the manuscripts but have not said when or if they would eventually be published.

Update. It's to be published ...

"The consensus was that in the interest of public health the full papers should be published," said Professor Ron Fouchier from the Institute of Virology in the Netherlands, the scientist behind one of the studies. Bird flu experts meeting in Geneva on Friday ruled that controversial research on a mutant form of the virus potentially capable of being spread among humans should be made public.

Bat flu ....

Flu bugs are common in humans, birds and pigs and have even been seen in dogs, horses, seals and whales, among others.

Now scientists found bat flu

For the first time, scientists have found evidence of flu in bats, reporting a never-before-seen virus whose risk to humans is unclear.

Scientists suspect that some bats caught flu centuries ago and that the virus mutated within the bat population.

It's possible they could leave the virus on produce and a human could get infected by taking a bite. It's conceivable some people were infected with the virus in the past. Now that scientists know what it looks like, they are looking for it in other bats as well as humans and other animals

I think this falls under the biological warfare act that banned the use and production of this kind of shit! What the hell are these people thinking? Just what good can come of this? If this "GETS OUT?" As you all know very well this will get out and some sick fuck will use this to wipe out as many people as they can! This should be outlawed and this sick evil lab tech should be locked up for LIFE! I am sorry if this is too harsh for any one to handle but this is just how I feel. There is NO place on this Earth for any one mutating and MAKING biological instruments like this no matter what!

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.

what about the Alcohol then....i personally think there are bigger issues with drinking then there will ever be with weed... roflmao weed lol

this helps people with cancer and other illness but because its weed its bad,, lol tell me why is weed bad ?

Yeah, I was just reading about that, in science illustrated I think. Its a strain of ebola, and almost certainly fatal? (Didn`t read the article, just saw bats...)

what about the Alcohol then....i personally think there are bigger issues with drinking then there will ever be with weed... roflmao weed lol

this helps people with cancer and other illness but because its weed its bad,, lol tell me why is weed bad ?

Why don't you go eat some, then come back and tell us how the lung and throat cancer was.

Update:

The Dutch government on Friday gave a top scientist the green light to publish a research paper in the United States on a mutant killer flu virus, following approval by a US panel of experts.

"Deputy Minister Henk Bleker approved a permit for the publication of the research done by professor Ron Fouchier on the H5N1 bird flu virus," his spokeswoman Cindy Heijdra told AFP.

Dutch approval comes after a panel of US science and security experts last month said two papers on the deadly flu should be published in the US-based Science journal, reversing an earlier decision to withhold key details.
