Yeah, me too.

The interview was chopped up, but those key pieces include the video with it.

flip to 6:46 for an example.
and 7:19

Dr. Hilleman is an interesting fellow.

I can't actually see the video here at work because they block youtube and its ilk. But from the title its either a virus in video games or a virus that occurs in your body from video games. Only one of these has any hope of being credible.

Actually it is a chopped up montage of merck Chief of whatever Maurice Hilleman who is being interviewed by some reporters, and in this interview he discusses his job.

Part of that discussion includes their experiments on large groups of people, one case in particular happened to be a trial of a virus that causes cancer, which apparently took place in Russia.


OH! My bad..

Definition of gaming - Gaming in the sense of a crooked politician that "games the system", or readily exploits the system for better or for worse.
