You know some labs with active bioreactors which aren't protected at all? And the waste just dumped into nature... Pigs and cows fed antiobiotics.

I mean, yeah, add that in there.

Listen, I'm not trying to argue that the containment protocols aren't safe; I don't know what they are. What I am trying to argue is

1. That these fears are reasonable, and deserve to be treated with respect.

2. Even if you don't agree with #1, in a democracy, just insulting and ignoring people with those fears is going to be counterproductive.

You don't get it! I watched 28 days later as a child and got really scared, and now nobody should ever do any biological research never again.
