I have no great problems with vaccinia or with many aspects of vaccination, or of much of (what i know about :-) ) the vaccine industry. My point was - in such a highly regulated, your-mission critical, hopefully-careful and worldwide life and death affecting industry a new virus 'just happened', totally took over from what it was thought to be, and went unnoticed for a decade or two. In that time it *could* have been wreaking havoc somewhat akin to HIV worldwide unnoticed and with a carefully organised international delivery system to many people worldwide. As it happened, while not without it's faults, it works about as expected. BUT it flew through the N 9's of safety that such an industry is assumed to have, completely unnoticed. By comparison we are scatter-gunning GM products across the fields of earth which is *certain* to ultimately produce utter catastrophe. The only question is "how long" (or already but as yet unknown?) Coming to a field, supermarket, school, home or hurriedly dug one-of-millions mass grave somewhere near you some year /decade / century soon. Russell McMahon. *certain* = 'will happen' - take away 9's until (un)desired results occur. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
