Killing Half the People in the World

Giving a new meaning to the phrase: Going Dutch, a Dutch researcher says he has found a way to alter a flu like virus that could kill half the world.

Well.

Isn’t that special.

So some governments are trying to suppress publication of the recipe of death for fear that it will tell Bin Laden wannabes how to kill more of us.

Others say that the terrorists already know how to make the germs. Your government, they say, is just trying to hide the truth from you.

The Dutch guy and others like him say that we need to kick the government into gear and force them take precautions against the plague that is sure to come.

As for me, I am certain that government is hiding things from me. It’s what government does. So maybe the government should be making vats of vaccines to save us from the plague.

But do you remember that bird flu scare? Didn’t it turn out that fewer people died from that flu than the normal flu but the government still tried to scare the pants off us?

So when do you know it’s the real thing?

Think Bruce Willis. Think Brad Pitt. Yeah. Army of the 12 Monkeys! When the body bags start piling up, it’s the real deal.

Before then, I will personally pass on a government shot. After all, we know that Obama is not above lying to us and giving us a shot of something we’d never knowingly take, because at bottom of his leftist heart, he is sure it is good for us.

Obama has only made one promise that I am sure he will keep. That is to make the price of electricity skyrocket and to drag down our economy in the bargain. All other Obama promises are null and void the moment they are spoken.

So like those people in Resident Evil, I will take the government antidote only when I see the whites of the zombies eyes. Or in this case, when I see the body bags piling up on TV.

There are those who say we have misjudged the world and that we worry about the wrong things. If it is true that is is relatively easy to make a virus that will kill at least half us us them maybe we do worry too much about nuclear apocalypse or a famine that will wipe out mankind. I have often thought that the one thing of lasting benefit that this generation could give the next is to make disease history. In my view we have enough that is occurring in our laboratories, computers simulations, databases, and in substances in the natural world to make a real dent on wiping out all human diseases sicknesses illnesses and ailments. Including the kind Dr Dorkenstein is whipping up in the bowels of his dark and sinister laboratory. If only people like Obama were wasting our health care dollars on creating a more Euro-Socialist union, giving the government the power over life and death and generally making health care more massive and expensive. We could have used that health care money to cure the 100 most lethal diseases. Oh well.
