Nature is not cuddly panda bear and Koalas. Nature is gazillions of nasty bugs trying to eat us alive from the inside.

For the animals we domesticated (4.000 years ago all of them were already domestic) we developed immunization against the virus that change once moving from animal to man. But the virus keep changing in new strains that at times are stronger or trickier than before. We have always bet them back. After all we are all here!

For the ones that lurk at the deep inside of the jungle we are powerless. You go close to them they come out eating us up and we are not protected. Such was the case of the poor missionary that went too much into Borno state and got Lassa fever.

It may be the case that there is a nasty thing right inside the Amazon jungle that if we come there they jump into us and decimated millions of people.

Now I am saying to Gib and MQ if the darker ones get more money and invest i9n R&D they may be investing in bugs and tropical desease instead on sickness that affects the rich people.

Those Anglo Pharma companies they may even stumble be sheer mistake on a vaccine against Malaria (that was The Economist who wrote that) and they decide not to produce since they make more money selling drugs to treat the desease rather than with a vaccine that wipe it out.

When I read Elmat's posts on health issues, I'm irresistibly reminded of lines by a poet we studied at school:

A little learning is a dangerous thing
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring
(Alexander Pope)

Of course he was an Anglo, so Elmat will dismiss his maxim.
