Scientist: Bird flu not biological weapon
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=69c620eae45711d3

The avian influenza virus originated naturally and is not a biological weapon, a senior Russian scientist has said.

Oleg Kiselyov, director of the Russian Influenza Research Institute, said Thursday, We have not advanced enough to create such a genetic machine, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.

If the bird flu virus had been created artificially in order to be used as a biological weapon, scientists would have discovered this, he said.

I have to ask myself Why is this even a question out there in the medical community?

1. Mind you, bush,cheney and rumy do have the intentions to superbug

And will do so if their heart choses to do.

2. It makes me shudder
To think what those men have in their deep freeze! And what they can do with it. We think New Orleans looked bad.

4. scientists would have discovered this, he said.
Not if they have all died mysterious deaths...or enough of them to scare the rest into keeping their mouths shut.

I am not saying this was engineered as a biological weapon. Only that we would not know it if it had been. Except for those with the :tinfoilhat:s.
