Sars Research Lab Loses 2,000 Tubes of Killer Virus

A prestigious research institute in France said it had lost thousands of tubes of samples of the deadly Sars coronavirus.

A routine inventory check at Paris' Pasteur Institute revealed that 2,349 tubes containing fragments of the virus responsible for the deaths of 774 people in 2002 were missing, the centre named after French chemist Louis Pasteur said.

The institute was quick to reassure the public and said that the contents of the missing vials had no infectious potential. They contained only part of the virus and had no ability to spread.

"Independent experts referred by health authorities have qualified such potential as 'non-existing' according to the available evidence...

Ping...

Thanks for the ping!

PING!

Can’t spread, huh? Not dangerous, huh?

And, we are taking the word of the people who couldn’t keep track of it in a secured research facility?

Color me skeptical...

Don’t worry, it’s only fragments.

Color me skeptical...

Me, too.

If this was supposed to be in secure storage, what else is missing?

You’re Welcome, Alamo-Girl!

Leading experts were quick to qualify their response with the “Clapper” qualification .... “the previous statement was the least untruthful statement that we could give under the circumstances”. French politicians and leading elite were assured by the statement but several common people (smarter than the average French fence post) were scared as hell.

The globalist, tyranny’s pretending to run legitimate governments and the UN would like to see most of the worlds population dead.

Getting rid of the middle class is not enough. Even US tax payers are becoming a burden and heavy luggage for the wealthy ruling class. Bet the rent.

Absolutely! The 1% feel the population is 20 fold what they feel it should be. Kill off the “undesirables” and keep a few hundred thousand around to keep the 1% maintained (Think Hunger Games), and there you have the 1% utopia..

The people in the wealthy ruling class don't realize that the net of all those pittances keeps them in wagu beef.

By the time they figure it out, someone else will be on top.

Pasteur Institute: We’re sorry. Our bad.

If it’s not infectious, then why the hell is it news.

Well, for starters, I'd be wondering how these vials just wandered off from a secure area. If they aren't a problem, why "secure" storage? If someone can use nasty bits of the DNA to kluge something together, that might be something to keep an eye out for, but suppose, (now put on your tinfoil hat), just for a second, it was the full, nasty, viable version. If the folks who stole it didn't think so, maybe they'd get careless and end up sick...

Whichever the case, if the 'secure' storage isn't any better tracked, and it isn't so secure that 2000 vials of virus bits managed to disappear, it makes me wonder what else may be unaccounted for.
