Tuesday, September 17, 2002Roberto Hernandez, another exiled Cuban scientist, says, "We were instructed to look into viruses such as encephalitis which are highly resistant to insecticides. Military-intelligence officers running the labs ordered us to trap birds with migratory routes to the United States with the idea of releasing contaminated flocks which would be bitten by mosquitoes which, in turn, infect humans." Maybe Castro did look into this, but if he and his henchmen chose it as a weapon, they made a poor choice - both in terms of the agent and the means of transmitting it. For all the hype, West Nile is still less deadly than influenza and far less prevalent. Infecting migrating birds in the hopes they’ll infect Americans is the equivalent of sneezing on your enemy. posted by Sydney on 9/17/2002 06:01:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
