US scientists urge WHO to allow GM smallpox...

They want to WHAT?

As per this article...
www.raidersnewsupdate.com...
...all previous stocks of smallpox virus were to be destroyed.

And now they want to start "playing around" with it? Let's send "parts" of its DNA to labs around the globe. Which parts? The "deadly" part? The "virulent" part? If ever I thought there was an appropriate analogy for Pandora's Box, this would be it.

By the way, try this one also...
www.cuttingedge.org...
One of its "predictions" (the next in line as a matter of fact) is about a smallpox "outbreak".

This has "bad news" written all over it...

Assuming the validity of this source it is quite unsettling. The article says that they want to distribute the virus' DNA across the globe in order to develop new vaccines for it?? When in 1999 the only two remaining samples of the virus were to be destroyed. Sounds extremely fishy, considering.

I've been looking for more info, but I'm at work.

Nothing yet, but I'll keep diggin'...

Ah-hah,

This site pretty much says it all...

Either its stupidity at its finests or they want to keep it for biological warfare, either could be the truth when it comes to the US.

Here's the official WHO webpage regarding this issue...and their inablility to "Just Say No"...

Let's wait until something happens...THEN we'll figure out what to do.

great. i can just see samples disappearing and then people getting uncontrollable smallpox.
