Hello My Dear Friends. Can you believe how so many people go nuts these days over simple human error? Take the CDC for example. Yes, a group of highly paid scientists "forgot" to inactivate a deadly strain of Anthrax before shipping it to a lower lab. It's not like they shipped it in a Ziplock bag! Oh wait, yes they did! That's right. Highly "trained" scientists, tasked with keeping us safe from deadly strains of Anthrax, Smallpox, and other nefarious diseases, took a deadly strain of Anthrax, popped it in a plastic bag, and shipped it to another lab where those unsuspecting workers were exposed to it. Yikes! In their defense, they say the "didn't know the strain was dangerous". Really? Isn't that kind of your job? I know Anthrax is dangerous and I'm not a scientist. So the CDC had one little lapse in judgement, why make a federal case out of it? Well, because, as it turns out, it wasn't one little lapse. While investigating the Anthrax "lapse" investigators discovered that the same brain trust had also accidentally cross contaminated a relatively safe strain of the flu with a potentially deadly strain of the virus! These, as you know, are the same people who send the materials to the companies that create our flu vaccines. That's a bit of a concern, don't you think? Investigators also found things like Smallpox and Anthrax stored in unlocked refrigerators. Those investigators, from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, found, what they called "an alarming series of failures" and a "general lack of workers following safety protocols". CDC execs say workers may need more training. Gee, ya think? If these scientists can't distinguish between "deadly" and "inactive" strains of a virus, should they really be allowed to handle this stuff? May I suggest this method:
It seems to work pretty well for everyone else. Just trying to help here.
