H5N1 flu genetically modified to kill 1/2 the world’s population

I can’t generate enough tags to call enough attention to this article.  A Dutch doctor, whom sources say must look like this…

.. modified the H5N1 virus to be super-duper lethal.  And just in case this isn’t computing as a royally bad idea, within the article, there’s a nifty quote:

“It’s just a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a lethal and highly contagious virus. And it’s a second bad idea for them to publish how they did it so others can copy it,” believes Dr. Thomas Inglesby, a bioterrorism expert

Thank you.. I don’t think we could have figured it out without the experts weighing in.
