It's kind of crazy when you think about his goals of eradicating some diseases completely. Totally. From the face of the Earth.
There are definitely worse ways to spend your time and money.
- tobylane 14y agoSince smallpox I've heard of several diseases removed, but no talk about saving a few vials. Is this still done?
- nvmc 14y agoI'd guess it is. Diseases are still organisms, and we try pretty hard not to let them go extinct.
- kevincrane 14y agoWhat's the reason for keeping them though? Is it to make vaccines if they potentially come back or more sinister pre-emptive military reasons?
- gnu8 14y agoHe's uniquely suited to the task, that's what he did to Be and Netscape.
- Klinky 14y agoBe was so hard to catch, you practically had to infect yourself with it. Netscape mutated into the Communicator Virus, and what with it's bigger molecular structure, transmission became so difficult, that it eventually died out.
