Your Turn

Do you think there are governments/people who would try and weaponize some type of killer virus? Not like Anthrax or its ilk, but something like you see in the movie Contagion.

    1. Yep, already been done. China, Gates, and Pirbright Institute IIRC... Oh and then we have Harvard involvement AGAIN. Taking Chinese money, professor arrested, traitors and spies, and the smuggling to China of biological material...

  12. Historically though, every technology is weaponized. The main issue is containment.

  13. Oh, boy. This is bound to be a rational and thoughtful discussion thread.

  15. I think if they tried, there is a very good chance it would backfire badly!

  16. The Chinese government is doing that right now. Punishing the people for protesting so they unleashed this virus they refuse to contain. A Chinese reporter by the name of Chen Qiushi, has gone missing after reporting negligence and unregulated practices within the virus epicenter.

  17. My parents are tripping hard about it Tricia. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours this weekend trying to calm them down. Just think of the Bird Flu, SARS, Ebola etc...

  18. NikkieTutorials has commented on her appearance on Ellen. She said she felt Ellen was very cold and she didn't enjoy the experience of being there, even though she did appreciate the podium to share her story.

  19. Killing off everyone so you can rule who's left with your supposed superior intellect? That's the Charles Manson model, and we all know how that turned out--it didn't

  20. Hundreds of thousands of people have died via biological weapons their governments used on them. This is already happening.

  24. Normal hygiene is amazingly efficient at preventing transmission. Unfortunately effective hygiene isn't practiced or understood by most of the populace.

  25. If carriers can be asymptomatic, how would you recognize them? How many surfaces do you touch in a public restroom? Is that person looking at you right now one of the infected, or is it you? 💀...😅

  26. It hasn't happened yet?

  27. @LaurenMaye What about rabies vax for cats and dogs? Is that safe to give them?

  28. Weaponizing a virus would be a great way for a smaller terror sponsoring state to wage war against it's enemies.

    This is so true.

    It is a bit much, but I am worried about WW3 (ETA: 100 years). Under wartime ethics, unrestricted funds for unethical research is a given. Knowledge will advance at a terrible price.
