A virus with the potential to kill up to half the world’s population has been made in a lab. Now academics and bioterrorism experts are arguing over whether to publish the recipe, and whether the research should have been done in the first place.
The virus is an H5N1 bird flu strain which was genetically altered to become much more contagious. It was created byRon Fouchier of the Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, who first presented his work to the public at an influenza conference in Malta in September.
Fouchier said the strain circulates in animals, particularly birds, but rarely affects humans.
In the ten or so years since bird flu first emerged in Asia, fewer than 600 cases have been reported in humans. But the H5N1 strain is particularly vicious, killing roughly half of patients diagnosed with it. What stops it from becoming a major threat to public health is that it does not readily transmit from human to human. Or at least it didn’t – until now.

HIV was also designed to reduce the human population especially in poor countries, it has turned out to be too slow and too expensive thats why other ways are being found to kill all beggers, that way the rich “SUPER POWER” will enjoy the planet alone. They just gave you a hint by bulling your own country’s security officers the other day… hehehee Bush is a member of SKull & Bones read about that!!!

GW You are right. Technically, the most richest continent on the globe is Afirca, all we lack is political ingrediant to manage our house. This was why at some point in the history there was scrumble for Africa. Every European country especially supper powers including some Arabs nations wanted to colonise at least a country in Africa. Thanks to God He could never allow them and they were all driven out by blacks. Yet the question still remained to them, “how can we get African wealth to ourselves.” The answer was: wipe the black race out then you can confertably inherit. But how? The HIV. 2010 wiki leak America apologised to one its colonies for having injected Syphilis to all prisoners. (sorry I cant remember the country) I mean that was so evil the act. They knew syphilis was a devastating killer at that time, and those prisoner would not live longer after or while in prison. Sometime I envy uncle Bob’s stance on them its because he knows the magnitude of their evil

we are in trouble .AIDS was brought in same way.we will continue surviving by grace of the lord.otherwise ,bynow this beautiful continent could been cleared of black mankind .
remember what was ready in parliament in 1985 by white former president of south africa botha during the time of apathed,
that they had enough of suport from the super power countries concerning of what was happening there.he explained that they had discovered more avenues of wiping out blacks that was civilized and leaving the continent free pollution .
1.AIDS 2.USE OF TREATED MOSQUITO NETS. 3 .USING OF SLOW KILLING POISON ON BOREHOLES 4.FORTIFICATION OF FOOD STUFFS.
he further elaborated that the above avenues are the best because
1.an average black person cannot plan beyond one year .hence by the time they will realize all those would already gone.
2.blacks just good at sex and beer.
3.blacks have short memories .
4.blacks can easily be used and be made their own enemies.
beware of mushrooming vct centers .
birds flu.
God bless this beautiful continent.

Iam glad that bloggers some bloggers here also believe that HIV (US patent # 4978655) was created in the Lab. It was created by one Dr. Robert Gallo who also made a cure and had it patented (US patent # 5676977). It was meant to reduce world population by 2030 but clearly it is slow. However, pharmaceutical companies are making billion of dollars. Global Fund the main funders of the Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)program now say they have run out of money. They only have enough to get to 2013. So the question is? What happens after that? What about the thousands if not millions of people on treatment? They are saying, we find an exit strategy for people on treatment? How? exit to what? These drugs are expensive and third world governments will struggle to keep these programs running. So kufwa fye!!
According to the Georgia Guide Stones(google it) the ideal population for elite is 500,000,000 people so that there is balance with nature. Now we are over 7 billion people on earth. So how does the population get reduced? According to Bill Gates through vaccines, reproductive health products. Vaccines???? By the way, they say once the population is reduced, then we get rid of global warming. Bogus science at its best!!!
So when we have outbreaks of bird flu, swine flu, measles e.t.c, im not surprised at all.

The AIDS story is the story of a toxic drug, with no scientifically proven benefits, which is being given to tens of thousands of people, including many who are perfectly healthy. It is a story of collusion among corrupt government officials, incompetent researchers, and an unscrupulous pharmaceutical company.

It’s unfortunate that some selfish scientists supported by some heartless capitalists have continued to create new deadly virus when they have lamentably failed to find the cure for AIDS.We don’t need such virus, please God spare Africa, we are really vulnerable as subjects to their experimental evils of these adventurous devils. I know some countries are salivating, can’t wait to use that virus as a biological weapon. Shame!

God won’t save you, you fi idiats! It’s up to you to save yourselves, that’s why we have brains! That’s the problem with most Africans, too much time spent praying and in church instead of reading factual books and being practical.If you did your research you would know that increasingly virulent strains of flu generate on a yearly basis in areas with high population densities, e.g. China.and thusly spread. Virus’ are Earths’ way of keeping the human population in check. In order to curb the increasing damage of these virus’ WE NEED TO PRACTICE FAMILY PLANNING. Annalyst and Invincible God, spot on brothers/ sisters. Invincible God I agree, it’s funny when you imagine these people at home, praying instead of trying to understand why these things happen.
Planet Earth isn’t ours to do with as we wish, humans have such a high estimation of their self worth. If only the NWO could invent a strain of flu to wipe out dunderheads like these, but alas these dunderheads will be used as their foot soldiers.

“Kakulu” Kamwendo nakumfwilo luse and my heart bleeds at your kind of thinking. What we are saying is the desease was a lab origin not from immorality. also remember, the presoners who were injected with syphilis did not have sexual intercose for the to get it but must have been told it was an immunisation drug against a paticular ailment and because they were vulnerable they choice to be “immunised” little did they know it was syphilis. Even you Kakulu you have attended immunisation before are sure it was real????? who immunised ancesters? These guys can do anything to get read of you. And dont even say it. so far malaria is one of our biggest enemy and we are far from knowing how the antimalaria drug is manufactured. They can mix their chemical concoction and make everyone who takes malaria drug become barren or impotent so that instead of reproducing you are just dying and eventully you all perish. Elyo ba kaamba tekutoba kweka ukoleta HIV anybody who goes to baba shop for hair cut is more than vulnerable want it or not. contact to biological fluids in public places buses, public door handles etc any contact with your eye aftere such exposure, you are gone your eye an execellent agent of any disease. So speak properly and go and have an HIV test may be your already have it not from any unfaithful medium but any other.

1.

2. Human race has been cheated for millions of year and all the answers are around yourself.
3. They ve contaminated all the food we are eating so that a fool can die out of ignorance and the answer is put on your side plate ;and you sit there fooling ur self that there is no cure big lie.
4. Imagine in all these big shops of food there in only 3% to 5% good food the rest is bad food that causes cancer , hiv ,diabetic, high blood pressure, name it all is coming from the food you are eating and you sit there and believe that there is no cure big lie just make an independent research then you will be a free person on earth so read more you will benefit.
Not only sleeping with oposte sex or blood transfusion that you get the popular dieseas in question but in your food ;thats where the big spray is coming from ,they have invested in food pollution big time but because of your little brain which is brain watch u cant figure it out read.
5. My dear we are in prison earth and only knowledge will make you come out of this prison earth vital info is in books so read.

Yes many attempts have been made to wipe out blacks using the human muscle, but in us there is One who is more than human.

Muntu, I understand the power of God, but not in the superficial literal sense that some posters on here seem to understand God. They seem to think that God is a tangible Sky daddy that will hear their prayers and actively intervene in whatever problems they are facing. To me, that’s not God. God is the connecting, intangible force that drives all matter in the universe. Gods very existence is inconceivable to Man. I’m just upset with the simplistic, ignorant and myopic manner in which some Zambians perceive God.Concerning viruses, you will see that I mentioned the natural causes AND the man made factors in the spread of viri, namely the NWO (New World Order). It’s frustrating the see Zambians always playing the victimisation card. “White man this, Satan that”. All I’m saying is stop wasting time on prayer and be PROACTIVE!

@Meh; for someone to think as progressively as you are showing here he or she should have the ability to think out of the box.
Religion most of the time locks you up in a box with its own answers so that you cant come out and see things philosophically. Most of us who have been born in our so-called Christian nation have followed the teachings we believe in because these were the ones available within our society.
We were born to find the rest of society going to church so we followed because if we didn’t we would have been seen as bad apples. We ended up repeating what everybody else was repeating.
Had we been born in a society full of Mosques we would have been repeating what the Koran says. My belief is that God is the good part of all of us and everything.
We are living because in the billions of years of our universe’s existence good has triumphed over evil. That good has brought us to where we are so we should look for the good part inside us to reveal truths that we need for our survival

I read with my heart bleeding to have people like Meh and Invincible GoD to think the white is the source of the Bible and Prayer is a waste of time.How much change have they made from their vast knowledge they so claim to have acquired in their reserch as oppsed to prayers? I see them to be full of ignorance about the Bilble than they claim to be wise.May the Lord have mercy on you and open your eyes and ears to see beyond your science and the force driving your science.I can not blame you entirely for the ignorance exhibited as the bible can not be interpreted using Microscopes, technologies and so called instruments the world claim to have inverted but its an inspiration from the maker HIMSELF. He who made the Heavens,Earth,the visible and invisible including you who are today denying HIM.

3. And to those of you who do believe in God or are God freaks (I’m not atheist or Scientist, whatever the hell you call the Science religion; I’m Wiccan and I believe in my Goddess, but not that She’ll save us all from the virus), your higher power if he’s really the higher power, will let some things go! We humans are ridculous creatures; not a single one of us are innocent of EVERYTHING. We’ve all ‘sinned’ within our lifetime one time or another, and we’re all bound to continue; it’s just human nature. Our Higher Powers (depending on your religion) would allow certain events to happen so that we may learn from the mistakes that we’ve made and so that we don’t do the same flipping thing again!
