ya, it was a long read, so i didnt complete it, but my 2 cents are:

the virus was already contained 40 years ago. All that is left of it are samples. If you destroy the samples, there will be no more of this virus. Until another 'souche' mutates in the same fashion (which is highly unlikely, since nature tries things once).

I wonder if you have ever heard about the time some scientists tried to kill some bugs/bacteria that were eating away at crops. They used some product to try and do that. What happened? The bug/bacteria came back, immune to the product they used to try and get rid of it.
Nature tries things only once? What do you mean? Can you give me an example? Okay, nature does nothing in vain and so would not try the same thing again-- in my example nature cam back with a bacteria/bug that was resistant to the chemicals ,,,,??!!

"The samples were burned in hopes that that would destroy the virus. Again, nothing can be created or destroyed, it just changes form. I assume that the particles would go in the air. Have you noticed that many more people have been getting sick these past couple/few years? Perhaps, it is in part because of the presence and the attempt at destroying this virus. How come the media doesn’t make that connection? Just because they do not mention something, it does not mean that it is not the case. "

now you are pushing too far. Burning a virus transforms it into NOT a virus. I wont argue you could get lung cancer from air polution, but it wont be the virus's doing. Its dead, done.

it's dead, done--by burning it -- are you sure?
Why are you so convinced that it will be transformed into not a virus?

I think you underestimate the scientist. Don't think they aer careless, they don't want to die. Maybe in some poor country poorly equipped, but they wouldnt send samples of deadly viruses to those places.

I do not want to underestimate the scientists. I think people in geenral overestimate them. They are not necessarily careless. Sometimes, in general, I think people have too much faith in technology and we think we know what we're doing, when we don't know everything.

"One of the principles of science is that nothing can created or destroyed"

again, you are abusing the principle. Here's a blunt example: I can kill jean charest. He will not affect quebec anymore. He wasnt destroyed, but 'transformed' into something that is no more a problem. That is what they are going to do.

Learn your physics, yes this is a true statement, but you have greatly misinterprated it.

It means that MATTER cannot be created or destroyed, is just changes form, if you burn a mass it is tranformed into heat energy, amongst other things, you cant in any way use this as an argument to justify that `burning`
(and I use quotes because they do not burn a virus in the conventional sense, thay say that so ppl will understand that bottom line)
a virus does not release parts of it in the air and promote more risk of infection.

and anything that is transformed into heat energy cannot be harmful? Do we know all there is to know about matter and the destruction of it? Are you sure? What makes you think that a virus could not be released into the air when "burning" it? How do you know?

Not to meantion, do you think they have a big camp fire OUTSIDE and burn a burnch of viles, letting the debrees fly in to the air? Come on, they have higly equiped facilities for this kind of thing,
