Be not afraid ! BorgCo is here to help !

       Eh ? There's no "surcharge" as such ...

       Yeah, no mention of the money being RETURNED to the user...

       And that makes me wonder, why can't we have those dis-infectors inside our bodies? A human organism takes a few weeks to produce antibodies, and get rid of it, while drug industry takes months to years to come up with a vaccine. That makes me wonder about the technology transfer from our bodies to our industry.

       It's because of the useless wimps on "Ethics Committees". The procedure would be so simple - find a resistant individual, drain out all their blood, and use it to clone antibodies - if it weren't for their petty quibbling. So one exemplar stops working. Big deal ... greatest good of greatest number, and all that.

       Not too weird -- I imagine we don't want people to have a financial motive to lie about risk factors.
