WHO says E. coli strain responsible for European outbreak is new strain never detected before

[Peter Lemkin]

But in either case -- no matter what you believe -- the simple truth is that the world is now facing a new era of global superbug strains of bacteria that can't be treated with any known pharmaceutical.

Yes, I liked that too and it pretty much sums up the situation. It is completely irrelevant if we made this in a lab or in a hospital or in a cattle cage. It is there.

The point I wanted to stress is that we will most likely never know. Short of a confession by some plausible evildoer there is practically no way to distinguish between an accidental creation and release and an intentional one. I am sure that both types of events happened in the past and will happen in the future.
What may be different is our reaction to such an event, depending on what we believe in every specific case and in general.
So if we believe that this was intentional, should we change our eating habits, should we ban fresh food from our tables? Or just the contrary? And if we believe that this was shit happening (pun intended), will we be more careful in the future? Should we push for more natural bio food or for more effective disinfectants?
Everybody answers for himself.

Just as those in power started taking Cipro days before the 'terrorist' Anthrax attacks, I'd not be surprised that a secret antibiotic[s] that DO work on such superbugs exists - but they are not for you or me.....angryfire WE are the laboratory rats.
