Thanks Peter,
Re: SARSCAM
You've confirmed my opinion about Horowitz's viewpoint. I always like to look at both sides, but sometimes crazy theories prove to be just that. <g>

OT: Smallpox -- hysteria or prudence?
I've never quite understood why we have such a slow simmering hysteria surrounding smallpox. Smallpox was eradicated in the 1970's, and exists only in two government laboratories, AFAIK. (Cf. Laurie Garrett's "Betrayal of Trust".) I've heard the rumors that the Russian stocks have been compromised. Maybe yes, maybe no. I can't imagine the Russian government seeing any advantage whatsoever in letting terrorists, such as the Chechans, get hold of the stocks. However, I can see friends of the Bush Administration at Bioport, in particular, attempting to get rich off creating a hysteria. Comments?
All the best, Ray |
