New Biowarfare Lab: Lyme among the "Galaxy of Dangerous Material"


Yet another list of "spooky" biowarfare organisms which just happens
to include "Lyme Disease".

We have now seen such a list from the San Antonio bioterrorism lab (as
a result of a probably unauthorised CDC leak to the Associated Press),
a similar list on the NIH's own website (hich they pulled off
afterward and claimed was a "mistake", but has been archived on the
Web, on the site of the Science Coalition, and now in this news report
from the Tribune re a new biowarfare lab at Colorado State University.

CSU unveils $30 million biocontainment lab
Greg Campbell
October 3, 2007
By Greg Campbell
For the Tribune
It's apt that Colorado State University's newly unveiled Rocky
Mountain Regional Biocontainment Laboratory is
located on Rampart Drive -- of all the places in Fort Collins that's
most in need of expressing a sense of
fortification, it's here.
Once it's up and running, the $30 million lab that held its ribbon-
cutting ceremony Tuesday morning will be
home to some of the deadliest bacteria and viruses on the globe, but
there are few complaints from the
neighbors. In fact, the new lab won't bring much that's new to the
area in terms of what even some seasoned
scientists call "spooky" microbes, infectious bugs and weaponizable
biological agents.
Between the existing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention field
station, the Colorado Division of Wildlife
research center and the new biocontainment lab, an entire galaxy of
dangerous material will be concentrated in a
linear quarter-mile along the Fort Collins foothills.
Among them are anthrax, SARS, avian influenza, tularemia,
encephalitis, West Nile virus, *** Lyme disease ***,
chronic wasting disease, plague, yellow fever and dengue fever, just
to name a few...."
