#3Ignorance is Bliss.
Science is that which, despite your opinions, exists.
Pathogens everywhere are cheering.

#4Is it just me or are the news lately really not nice? Less free internet, funding cuts for science (including NASA and this example), the economy is worse than it used to be (as far as I remember), general mental health of the population is tanking,almost every aspect of usual life is being exploited by apps for micropayments, wealth gap grows, I come gap, well, grows too, but everything is impossibly expensive for every class.. are we going into the "great recession" version of the dark ages? I mean, it's not it right?
But I have to agree, I do feel bad for the animals, but as someone who has participated in certain academic activities I am convinced that the scrutiny that the ethical committees have put the research through for this should ensure more than enough reasons for this research. Also. What happens with the monkeys? Do they send them to the zoo? I don't think so

#5The wording of this headline shocked me, but it seems like they're going to stop infectious diseases on monkeys specifically?
CDC not researching infectious diseases at all is essentially closing their doors.

Nah they just know all the secrets ahead of time, like how they will start allowing tech companies to mess with genetics to cure this stuff

Right, just monkeys, and they only had 200 study monkeys in the first place. Pretty much a bacon double nothingingburger.
