Remember "Dutch Scientists Have Genetically Altered the H5N1 Bird Flu Virus to Make it More Contagious (could kill half humanity) "

This morning's flu news "Flu virus with 'pandemic potential' found in China" brought back memories of November 2011:
UPDATED--Dutch Scientists Have Genetically Altered the H5N1 Bird Flu Virus to Make it More Contagious" (could kill half humanity)
.... Perfect.  
So deadly it scares the anthrax guy.
And the debate is whether to publish the recipe?


A month later: "UPDATE: Dutch Scientists Agree to Redact Details of Super-lethal (50% Kill Rate) Genetically Modified Bird Flu"
From the American Association for the Advancement of Science' ScienceInsider:
Grudgingly, Virologists Agree to Redact Details in Sensitive Flu Papers....
*****
Grudgingly? 
The third chapter of the nuttiness:
Psychotic Dutch Scientists: "Killer flu doctors: US censorship is a danger to science"

Chapter the Fourth:
World Health Organization: Okay to Publish Super-lethal Bird Flu Recipe

And in other science news from The Netherlands we had:
More Wacky Dutch Scientists: "Dutch to send mobile clinics to euthanise people in their own homes"
Let's hope they get the right address.

Earlier we posted on the Dutch scientists who
a) Weaponized bird flu to the point that it could kill half the people in the world.
b) Planned to publish the recipe.
c) Got crabby when told that might not be a good idea.

Here's another group....
I think they're still pissed that they were once the richest country in the world and aren't anymore.
VOC, VOC, VOC
