New hybrid flu annoys me - shady business with engineered viruses all over the place

Here's the fucked-up thing: it is damn near impossible for nature to recombine a lot of things, frequently. Certainly nature is constantly messing around, but it can't make a huge batch of a special three-part influenza hybrid. The odds are astronomical.

But now we've got these research labs making all the hypothetical possible flu combinations, so that they can, perhaps, have vaccine lines ready to go.

So all you gotta do to market your product is spill it on some buses in Mexico City, or whatever.

I'm ticked off about this. Some damn links.
step 1: don't open those live mashup packages from Baxter Where does anyone draw the dang line about 'bio weapons proliferation'???? Remember "bio-weapons"? Where did that concept slip off to - oh yes, we left it behind the beakers in the Bio-business lab. and yes the fabulous Illinois company, Baxter, with its spiffy special patented vaccine dev setup, is going to step up and research what's going on.
