New BioLab opens up at Tulane's Primate Research Center in Covington, LA, off of Three Rivers Road. WWLTV.com One of 13 in the Nation to help combat bioterrorism. Is this like a mini-CDC in St Tammany? Bioterrorism is not a word that makes me sleep easy at night. Many American Indians were killed in the 1800s by bioterrorism when blankets with smallpox were given to them. Histoy even takes it back further, when rotting cattle were loaded on catapults and thrown over walls into cities under siege, spreading disease.
Much bigger picture in our world today. I know the bird flu scared the hell out of the Chinese. I remember watching video of people in Hong Kong killing every chicken, duck, goose, and swan they could get their hands on, and all the time dressed from head to toe in latex with a filter over their mouth. I guess it it nice to know they are developing antidotes right down the road. If something happens we may be first to be treated. Good Lord Willing, nothing will happen. However, I am not much for sticking my head in the ground, so develop those vaccines until the cows come home. No pun intended.
Thank You
