[So you think they stole the virus? And got kicked out of Canada for the theft? And that’s why civilized first world countries might be able to have a vaccine in 18 months? Because it’s OUR bioweapon?
Is that what you’re saying?]
I’m saying it’s one of the never-ending parade of naturally-evolving pathogens that throw medical professionals for a loop when it first comes out. We’ve had the flu since probably before recorded history, and it still kills tens of thousands of Americans per year. People think of Mother Nature as this benevolent force that has nurtured human beings since the beginning of time. In reality, humans are merely the fittest of the creatures that have fought their way to the top of the food chain. Man got there because he overcame disease (and harsh winters and other environmental obstacles) in ways that non-sentient creatures could not. And along the way, huge numbers of humans that couldn’t quite adapt were culled from the gene pool.
