Wayne T. Hockmeyer Hall - Structural biology research facility at Purdue University that will
contain a BSL-3 laboratory

Hockmeyer Hall research facility at Purdue University is currently under construction and
expected to be completed by Fall of this year. Structural biology focuses on the physical design
and functions of viral structures (presumably in order to better manipulate them).

In this video of the dedication for what is essentially a bioweapons research facility, the speaker
admits that Hockmeyer Hall will contain a BSL-3 biohazards containment laboratory "specifically
designed for the study and growth of pathogenic viruses."

Indeed, the recent research activities of the structural biology department of Purdue indicates a
heavy interest in viruses as potential bioweapons:

---They mapped the structure of the Dengue Virus and determined the structure of the immature
dengue particle while still within its cellular host, which will obviously help in the virus
development process.

---They analyzed the structure of the baseplate of the T-4 Virus helping scientists further
understand how viral infection occurs (in other words, how to better cause infection).

---They determined the orientation of the major surface proteins in the viral particle of West Nile
Virus. Because these proteins allow the virus to invade a host cell, the research could be a step
forward in combating (or spreading) the deadly mosquito-borne disease.

---They genetically modified the Ross River Virus that was then used to alter the liver cells of
living mice without killing them. Viruses as agents to alter the very structure of human beings.

---They redesigned the shell of Ebola, "transforming the feared virus into a benevolent workhorse
for gene therapy." The new modification is a version of Ebola that can be inhaled. As Alex has
mentioned numerous times lately, an airborne, inhalable version of the Ebola virus is the holy
grail of bioweapons research for "Dr Death," aka Eric Pianka, the lunatic UT professor who calls
for 90% of the world's population be eradicated like vermin. It's unfortunate for the rest of us that
Pianka lacks the courage to lead by example and just kill himself, already.
Roll up your sleeve, "Dr. Death," Baxter has an injection for you.

Albert Sabin (1906-1993)

In 2005, Hockmeyer received the 2005 Albert Sabin "Humanitarian Award" by the Sabin Vaccine
Institute. Oh, that's rich. Sometimes just you have to laugh at the dark humor and doublespeak of
the eugenicists. Albert Sabin was a US virologist and developer of the dangerous and deadly oral
polio vaccine. During WW II, he devised vaccines for the United States Army. After the war, he
developed a live attenuated vaccine against polio, which presumably included monkey kidney
tissue that was infected with the notorious cancer causing agent SV-40 (simian virus 40) that
resulted in the deaths of millions and an explosion in the number of previously rare cancers. In the
1950s, Sabin persuaded the USSR to use the deadly vaccine on an industrial scale.
