Univ. of Wisconsin Scientist creates Flu Virus that evades your immune system

He took the 2009 pandemic flu virus and selected out strains that were not neutralised by human antibodies. He repeated this several times until he got a real humdinger of a virus,” said one scientist who was present at Professor Kawaoka’s talk
quote:
“He left no doubt in my mind that he had achieved it. He used a flu virus that is known to infect humans and then manipulated it in such a way that it would effectively leave the global population defenceless if it ever escaped from his laboratory,” he said
quote:
He’s basically got a known pandemic strain that is now resistant to vaccination. Everything he did before was dangerous but this is even madder. This is the virus,” he added.
quote:
However, this study was done at the lower level-2 biosafety. The university has said repeatedly that there is little or no risk of an accidental escape from the lab, although a similar US Government lab at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta with a higher level-3 biosafety rating was recently criticised over the accidental exposure of at least 75 lab workers to possible anthrax infection

Just because we CAN do something doesn't mean we SHOULD.

And this is why goths shouldn't be scientists.

From what I gather, it was created by accident.

too bad he didn't trip and fall on the vile.

This is just horrible? Why the frick would someone want to create this. This is the shite Jeff Goldblum was talking about in Jurassic Park.

Seriously kill it with fire.
What are the benefits of making something like this?

We gone.

Its always a good idea to publicize a hyperinfective and untreatable strain of a virus when it's in a university's lab. I mean, who could possibly have more stringent security than an institute of higher learning?

WTF was that movie where someone created a "super gun" that could destroy the planet?

"Eraser" with Arnold and Vanessa Williams?

Thats just fabulous. 
All that we need is some douchebag with a resistant strain of any type of virus / bacteria.
Not surprised at all.
