SARS & Flu Psuedoscience

As I pointed our years ago, we are at far more risk from Earth based diseases spreading from previously isolated locations than we are from Martian microbes. SARS, West Nile, Ebola, AIDS, etc are prime examples. Your stance that Martian microbes are likely to be highly dangerous is as ridiculous as Hoyle's decades old claim that flu comes from space. This claim has been ignored by the medical community due to loads of contrary epidemiological evidence. Since you seem to site that belief regularly in support of your claims most of us have a good idea of the scientific rigormortus of your beliefs. The more unpopular an idea in the broad scientific community the more you seem to like it.
