ORIGINAL: hausboy Rule: "Bioharzard" isn't just my avatar, it's my livlihood. I deal with bioterrorism & biological threats, including pandemics, infectious & communicable disease...and other public health threats.. every day. You have...no......clue. You have exciting work. Lots of cloak and dagger and people dying in "traffic accidents" and found floating in rivers, I imagine. And who do you trust? Your boss? A judge? A politician? A co-worker? A milkman? A police officer? An agent from a secret service? Your wife? None of them, of course: they can all be affiliated with the sociopaths that released the anthrax bacteria in 2001, the West Nile virus in New York, or the HIV. Yesterday I was googling a bit for suspicious deaths in the biological warfare business, and guess whom I ran into? Timmy McVeigh. That was a surprise. It is good that I have no clue. Anyone who does is likely to turn up dead. Actually, most of it is quite mundane. A woman convinced that terrorists have put white powder in her foot powder and now she has white powder all over her bedroom slippers. And wants me to package it up and send it to the lab for testing. Other days, it's much more practical. The sociopath who released Anthrax took his own life rather than face trial. West Nile was a result of those terribly covert miniature terrorists, also known as mosquitoes. Viruses have existed long before man, and will exist long after we're gone. Mother Nature is far more adept at destroying her work than we will ever be. But folks who are convinced that the government created them in labs give the government entirely too much credit. Nature is much more efficient and effective than anything the feds could ever dream of cooking up. And you didn't google hard enough--Timothy McVeigh was executed for what at the time was the deadliest domestic terrorist incident in US history--but he had no tie to bioterrorism--his method was ammonia nitrate-based explosives. I saw his handiwork at the OKC memorial. There was nothing suspicious about his death--he was proud of his atrocities and deserved to die. This thread was about immune systems and blood type, no?
