Alan Barbour , the would-be Klempner

| Alan Barbour, pillar of the Steere camp, famous for patenting the
technology that gave us the dangerous, ineffective Lymerix vaccine,
hopes to be the new Klempner of the west coast. Last summer he applied
to the NIH for a milti-million dollar grant to build a Bioweapons
"Center of Excellence" at his base in university of California Irvine.
Well, Klempner has already built up his Center of Excellence in
Boston. The BU lab told the government it had a squeaky-clean safety
record, but it has now come to light that three of his staff caught
tularemia while working there. Sounds pretty excellent to me.
If Klempner brings the same level of honesty to his biowarfare work
that he brings to his Lyme work (eg rigged experiments aimed at
proving that chronic Lyme patients should not receive antibiotics),
then this means that the multi-million citizens of Boston are deeply
in danger.
Also, would you trust a man of Klempner's -ahem - "integrity" to
limit his work to defense?
Well, I am sure we all wish Barbarous Barbour the best of luck with
his biowarfare project too. Fortunately for him, he has a great
contact at the NIH - Lyme Program Officer Phil Baker. Ball-headed
Baker is an anthrax expert who is also in charge of grants for
research into a host of bioweapons. He coud also rely on another great
phony -sorry, crony - to help him out - Ed McSweegan, the previous
Lyme program officer at NIH, who is another bioweapons expert. When he
is not tormeting Lyme patients on this newsgroup, Ed does exciting
things like visiting the Siberian biowar lab Vector and shopping for
new diseases.
If things got really bad, Barbour might have to start rallying a few
EIS men. In which case he need look no further than Allen Steere.(The
EIS, or Epidemic Intelligence Service, is an elite and highly
secretive military force of disease experts trained at CDC who then go
out into the world and ensure that horrifically, dangerous emerging
pathogens are identified quickly - ideally, as quick as they emerge
from the crappy security that prevails at Klempner's BU lab, at Plum
Island etc..)
The EIS was originally conceived as an elite force of biowarfaremen,
however the US govt says that those days are long past, and we know
that must be true, because they have such honest officers as Steere
working there.
Of course, Lyme arthropod (sorry arthropod specialist) Durland Fish
could put in a good word too, if he can tear hinself away from his
preoccupations like West Nile virus(which did NOT appear for the first
time in the west in the 1990's, but was studied in the US around 60
years ago for weaponization purposes,)Plum island (where Fish
researched African Swine Fever virus in ticks, a virus used
offensively against Cuba by the US military, and which is also the
model for studyig the horrific human viral hemorrhagic diseases), his
work with NASA etc..
The Butcher (Steere), the Baker, the Barbarian, the Klempnomaniac, the
McSwine, the Fish -shall I go on? No, that's enough for the moment.
Don't you just feel so safe knowing that so many of the top Steere
camp swine are making the world safe from - er, sorry, I mean for -
democracy?
