WASHINGTON - American laboratories handling the world's deadliest germs and toxins have experienced more than 100 accidents and missing shipments since 2003, and the number is increasing steadily as more labs across the country are approved to do the work.
No one died, and regulators said the public was never at risk during these incidents. But the documented cases reflect poorly on procedures and oversight at high-security labs...
Ya think?
"It may be only a matter of time before our nation has a public health incident with potentially catastrophic results," said Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce investigations subcommittee.
Oh.
In the meantime, of course - before the potentially catastrophic public health incident, that is - you can just think of all this is part of Commander Guy's plan for bio-warfare defense.
Wait. What? That doesn't make you feel safer?
