アメリカの研究者達(それも恐ろしいことに陸軍関係者だ)が鳥インフルエンザの研究目的ということで、1918年に流行したスペイン風邪のウィルスを復活させようとしている。いよいよ超エリート集団の懸案事項「地球人口の最適化」プロジェクトを始動するのだろうか。例によって「あ、ごめんごめん、過失でウィルスが漏れ出しちゃって」から大災害となるお馴染みのシナリオか?庶民は億単位で殺戮されるのか?エリート層だけが事前に特製ワクチンを射っておくという仕掛けか。
こういう話を単にSFと言って笑い飛ばせない恐ろしい世の中なのだ。

Researchers reconstruct 1918 virus
Scientists seek better understanding of bird flu

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Scientists have made from scratch the Spanish flu virus that killed as many as 50 million people in 1918, the first time an infectious agent behind a historic pandemic has ever been reconstructed.
Why did they do it? Researchers say it may help them better understand -- and develop defenses against -- the threat of a future worldwide epidemic from bird flu.
Like the 1918 virus, the current avian flu in Southeast Asia occurs naturally in birds. In 1918, the virus mutated, infected people and then spread among them. So far, the current Asian virus has killed at least 65 people but has rarely spread person-to-person.
But viruses mutate rapidly and it could soon develop infectious properties like those seen in the 1918 bug, said Dr. Jeffery Taubenberger of the U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology.
