I'm sure that some, after taking away all safety nets, consider it a way of further thinning the herd. Horrifying!!!!

@reiki604 While I have heard about thinning the herd for quite some time I'm not sure if you mean this tongue in cheek (against those who don't want the ban lifted) or if you believe the ban is lifted to actually reduce the surplus population as a serious solution.
It's ok-just my own observations regarding your post.

@Cakers3 I appreciate your very civil post. I had hoped that my inclusion of the word Horrifying would have shown I am against lifting the ban. It is so hard expressing any innuendo through the written word.

@reiki604 Thank you. Lifting the ban certainly is something than can lead to devastating results.
I guess we face that anyway with the labs around the world already stocked with viruses/bacteria that can do the same damage, and those can be let out now, never mind the ones which will be worked on with the ban lifted.
Biological does scare me more than any other way to wipe out the world population.
We sorely lack vaccines as it is if I am not mistaken; if lifting this ban leads to better protection that would be one thing. But we are so lax around the world to protect all of us that I think there is no definitive solution to this issue.

No ,absolutely not!!!
Lyme Disease was manufactured on Plum Island under experimental conditions.It got out & the rest is history!! It has caused a lot of damage.
Especially in this day & age where there seems to be a lot of crazy people out there I would not recommend it. IMO it would be totally irresponsible!!

@NicksmomESQ The Plum Island theory is interesting and even plausible but Lyme disease has been found around the world and in other areas of our country.
Unless it was planted undercover around our country (and the world) it is hard to pinpoint the correlations between Plum Island and Lyme, CT.
I understand what you are saying but other theories suggest that the radiation leak mutated the DNA which caused "Lyme disease" to now host in humans where previously it only hosted in animals. So they say.
Whether manufacutred by the gov'ts here and in the world or whether the mutation was cause by radiation leaks or are natural mutations-we will never know the real truth.
And sadly so many people suffer. Ultimately that is the real deal and all these theories will never alleviate their illness.
Very troubling when answers are hidden and covered up.

@Cakers3 I totally get what you’re saying.But all diseases start somewhere & are capable of spreading anywhere through a variety of means.
A close friend has Lyme Disease.She is suffering terribly.As a result Her DH has done a lot of research & has shared the results with me .From what he’s told me the evidence points to Plumb Island.
You’re right that we’ll never really know the truth.It’s in the governments interest for us not to.

@NicksmomESQ I am sincerely sorry for your friend.

I don't believe a disease can be manufactured. The bacteria that causes this disease can be grown in a lab and it has. But the origin of the bug is still from nature.

Disease can be created from a safe and benign organism due to manipulation of DNA and RNA. It is science and it is real.
