BIOTECH/MED: A really weird quote

The genome for the bacterium that causes cholera has been sequenced. Read
about it here:

What's weird is the quote at the end: "Fraser added, though, that even
knowing the genetic makeup, it is an 'unrealistic goal' to wipe out
cholera." What a pessimistic statement. Almost as if the reporter is
making the sequencing irrelevant.
