ARTICLE BELOW
===========================
Well, the first thing the neighborhood
needs to be scared of is that Klempner
does not know how to do science:

This ^^^ woman got a 13 million dollar
NIH grant the day before the IDSA hearing,
LOL. Sort of an exclamation point, if
ya aks me.
She made Klempner look like a total fool.
We wonder how IDSA will now come up with
"Lyme Disease" "guidelines" now that they
can't use this Klempliar report:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MKLEMPNER.htm
"Gee Marky, How come youz was able to
mysteriously overcome intracellularity
and resistence to ceftriaxone?
http://www.actionlyme.org/MarkKlempner_Fibroblasts.htm
"Gee Marky, what is OspA?
http://www.actionlyme.org/Pam3Cys_Version15.htm
"NIAID's Anthony Fauci doesn't even know:
http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/359/9/888
"Determining the structure of the trimeric form of the envelope
protein is currently a research priority and is expected to yield
additional insights."
"OH! OKAY, then!
"Let's make you the head of NIAID!
"Or maybe a even a Supreme Court 'Justice!'"
Those Boston people need to be scared
because the Klempliars and idsociety.org
have no clue what they're doing. And by
that I mean to include the entire NIH, CDC,
and of course, the ever-incompetent FDA.
The whole world needs to be scared:
http://www.actionlyme.org/FUNGAL_VACCINES.htm
Seriously.
How can these clowns be trusted if
scientifically, they knew they were
lying all along and didn't even
care what OspA was?
What's the *next* antigen/disease they're
not gonna care *is?* Has a one of them
figgered out what the brain damage we
call autism is?
Has IDSA ever even talked about it?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC18419/?tool=pubmed
A ten ^^ year old report and no
similar research since.
What does that tell you?

Anti-biolab coalition speaks out on dangers at forum
By Gianna Walton

Members of the Stop the Biolab Coalition gathered to discuss their
initiative at a forum in Allston Wednesday night. Above, the biosafety
laboratory in the South End.
The Stop the Biolab Coalition campaigns not against a Biosafety
Level-4 lab but a "bioterror" lab, members said.
A small group of concerned citizens gathered Tuesday night in Allston
to discuss the dangers of the Boston University Medical School's BSL-4
Laboratory in the South End.
Safety trials with harmless substitutes for real pathogens are
scheduled to begin at the biolab in the coming months, The Daily Free
Press reported Wednesday. If opened, the lab would handle some of the
world's deadliest pathogens such as ebola, anthrax, smallpox and the
bubonic plague.
The forum featured several speeches by Stop the Biolab Coalition
members, including Mark Pelletier, an experienced biochemist.
Pelletier said the chance of exposure to these deadly pathogens is too
much of a risk for the Roxbury and South End communities.
In lab research, he said, scientists would aerosolize pathogens in
controlled chambers to test their effects on animals. These chambers
would then have to be vented, a system with dubious feasibility, he
said.
"There . . . are situations where engineering just doesn't work," he
said.
National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories Director Mark
Klempner told The Daily Free Press in April that despite concerns, lab
employees undergo intense training and safety precautions.
"The mission is to find ways to treat and prevent naturally occuring
infectious diseases," he said.
However, Pelletier said accidents happen, regardless of how carefully
laboratories follow protocol.
"They don't take into account reality," he said. "There is no such
thing as zero risk."
Pelletier also said a BSL-4 laboratory is not needed in order to find
cures for diseases. Cures are already being tested on people
elsewhere, he said, and these treatments have come out of lower-risk
BSL-2 labs.
He said he thinks the BSL-4 lab would be used to further bio-defense
technology, rather than to find cures.
"We are increasing the threat of bioterrorism," Pelletier said.
BU officials and other public figures in support of the lab are
ignorant of its dangers, he said.
"They're greedy and arrogant and dismissive of the public," Pelletier
said.
Speaker Laura Maslow-Armand, a pro-bono lawyer and member of the
Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, is actively involved in civil
lawsuits attempting to fight "environmental racism" that would come
with the Biolab.
Environmental racism in this case, she said, is a greater willingness
to put a facility such as the biolab in a neighborhood with a higher
minority population.
Maslow-Armand said BU officials showed arrogance and contempt for the
minority community in their advocacy of the lab.
"They very clumsily didn't even try to dialogue with the community,"
she said.
She said the lab is unnecessary and does not belong in Boston's
populous downtown.
The scientific panel that decides whether or not the lab will open
must assess risks and determine whether or not it would be better to
operate the lab elsewhere, she said.
Klare Allen, a member of the Roxbury community who also spoke on
behalf of the Coalition, was an original pioneer of the anti-biolab
initiative.
She said her initial concerns about the biolab were dismissed by
officials.
"We were told, 'Don't worry about it,'" she said.
She said she began attending meetings to learn about what pathogens
would be housed in her community. Along with other activists, she said
she tried to raise awareness on the issue to Congress members.
"We informed them . . . this is our community. We are the ones at risk
to your dollars," she said. "We don't think the damn thing should
exist, period."
Allen agreed with Maslow-Armand's view that use of the lab is
environmental racism and people would be more active in protesting the
lab if it wasn't in a predominantly minority neighborhood.
Deputy mayoral candidate and City Councilor-At-Large Sam Yoon, who is
opposed to the biolab, told The Free Press in an interview before the
Sept. 22 preliminary election that he thinks the lab would never have
progressed as far as it has if it had been proposed for a wealthier or
whiter neighborhood.
Mayor Thomas Menino has supported the BSL-4 since the beginning
because "Boston is moving towards a science-based economy," according
to spokesman Nick Martin. However, he hears residents concerns, Martin
said, and wouldn't let it go forward without "proper testing."
BU graduate student Galen Mook said BU students have been looking into
both sides of the issue.
"It's definitely an issue I've been following," he said.
Mook said the BU administration is not willing to deal with activism
and refuses to bring its side of the issue to the table.
But as long as there remains a chance to prevent the lab from
operating, the Stop the Biolab Coalition will protest, members said.
"There are enough things that plague our community," Allen said. "We
are fighting for you and your children and your people."
This version corrects an earlier version of this story that
incorrectly attributed quotes from Mark Pelletier to Mark Klempner.
