Die Chaos-Initiative ist ein frontaler Angriff auf die Schweizer Grundwerte. Über die Steuerung von Zuwanderung kann unterschiedlicher Meinung sein. Aber diese Initiative knüpft an an üble Überfremdungsängste. Und versucht die Wählerinnen zu täuschen.

Nein, das Boot ist nicht voll!
Die Initiative zur 10-Millionen-Schweiz gibt sich harmlos. Doch sie ist genau das Gegenteil.

Interferon research has a long history at the University of Zurich, Switzerland.

Charles Weissmann, Professor of Molecular Biology, led the group that first cloned interferon genes. This allowed large-scale production and facilitated the medical use of interferon.

[January 16th, 1980] Scientists at Biogen have successfully produced human interferon, a natural virus fighter, in a laboratory using gene-splicing techniques, potentially making it a more affordable treatment for various viral infections and cancers.
