Yes it is curious...mainly because world renowned microbiologists usually aren't "hands on " kind a guys. THey write reports and give speeches and get funding but they are not the guys in the labs doing the work...................people like me are the guys ( girls) in the labs doing the work!LOL..............I do know something about this kind of thing !!! The people that would die are the"hands on" types that are exposed to the dangerous microbes. For a "big shot", world renowned, microbiologist to be doing the work it would have to be very high priority, ground breaking kinds of research.Even then, these primadonna's would be hesitant to do the work...............they lack the skills to do the technical parts.The kind of work that would yield lots of fame but through inherent risk might tempt some of the more eccentric ones....like with something as hot as Ebola. But for 11 of them to die in the same year???????? SOmethink fishy is up. Perhaps they are genetically engineering a bacteria to produce a lethal toxin................E/coli bacteria can be engineered to produce various compounds..........now wouldn't that be a deadly WMD. A very common bacteria that exists everywhere that was engineered genetically to produce something highly deadly like Ricin...........it could be done!!! SOmething highly nasty is causing the epidemic of deaths. Maybe they were all found shot to death in their cars at an intersection in Sugarland, TX.?
