Signs commentary from this article

Comment: From another report we learn:

"Henderson also announced the untimely death of Dr. John R. La Montagne, assistant director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who suffered an apparent heart attack last night upon his arrival in Mexico to participate in the meeting. Henderson asked the participants to observe a minute of silence for La Montagne, who he called "a distinguished member of this group who knew more about vaccines and immunization than anyone in the world."

Over the past few years the world has witnessed the mysterious and untimely deaths of many scientists involved in chemical and biological research, most if not all were involved in research into chemical or biological weapons or the research into and development of vaccines for various human illnesses. Given his area of expertise and coming as it does at the beginning of the flu season, the untimely death of Dr La Montagne, is worrying.

The following article, published today by the LA Times, informs us that Dr. Montagne had been involved in the development and promotion of a technique to minimise the dose of flu vaccine while maintaining its effectiveness. Could this have had anything to do with his demise?
