Are we mad to let Yoshihiro Kawaoka create a virus that could wipe out 400m people? | Mail Online: "Professor Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has created a deadly new strain of the 2009 swine flu virus — for which there is no known vaccine.

If the virus escaped from Professor Kawaoka’s laboratory it could kill hundreds of millions — perhaps even a billion. Worryingly, scientists seem as alarmed as the general public."

No vaccine: If the new strain of swine flu was released, it could kill up to a billion people
