I grok that what Brother David is saying is that the Four Principle mind-
virus exists outside of the containment chamber in Seattle. Destroying the
virus that is on file will not affect those patients that have already been
infected. In medical terms, the culture in storage should be examined
in order to develope an innoculation(sp). True, opening the containment
champer may allow the virus to spread to new victems, but it is already
spreading as we speak.

I guess.
