Monitor
or
Control and Prevent

As of today, 2014-02-01, neither the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or independent labs in the State of Texas have published a single genetic sequence sampled during or after that peaking period of the High Intensity genetics.

Citizens have been blinded and cast adrift by public health leaders to face this storm of record-setting fatality that continues to destroy the lives of healthy, vaccinated adults and children.

While we and other citizens do recognise the monitoring effort, a touch of controlling and preventing would be beneficial as well.
