- But he was right. You're showing every sign of either not
- having or not using many of your neurons. We refer to the
- neurons used to read the rest of this thread.

- They had no way of knowing it was there at all; how could they have
- "injected" it? I assume you are aware what a pain it was to locate
- the HIV virus(es) once we _knew_ something was there (because of AIDS)?

- "it"? Define "it"? Just what was being injected? Thousands of random
- blood samples? You seem to have this confused notion that one could go
- to the corner store and say:
-
- "Hi, I'd like 50 grams of an unknown virus, please. Oh, and make sure it's
- indetectable by modern science, as long as it doesn't cost too much extra.
- That'll really fool'em, yup!"

- No, they asserted it and a request for confirmation is currently unanswered.
