so the russians gained knowledge (empirical calibrator) of this (nano)organism through their venture in lake vostok and are now freely helping others in the face of global epidemic?

i dont buy it

nations have spent gazillions on chem/bio warfare r&d

if the russkie had the antidote to a world threatening situation dont you think they would use it to their advantage in the quest of global domination?

as the saying goes:
he who takes you out of the shit is not always your friend

another thought
this could be a reason (in the making) for mass inoculation and/or tagging through the consolidation of the novus ordo seclorum under the guise of a common and yet unseen enemy

maybe we here are feeding that 'pipe' dream (excuse the pun)
