Maybe there are two types of 'people' in the 'scientific community'...

the ones that fight viruses and 
the ones that make viruses.


Like you have a 'group of people' who fight computer viruses and..

you have people in Israel who make computer viruses.


The Good guys, and the Bad guys.



So, those scientists-waking-up-30000-year-old-giant-virus
must be the bad guys.

Shouldn't we be gettin rid of the Bad guys? 


Wasn't it scientist who created the Aids virus? (miximg monkey blood with vacines in africa)



Now yous want to wake-up-30000-year-old-giant-virus????
