Why is that irrational? It's a wonderful way to deal with a surplus population, increase police powers, and limit civil liberties.

There's epidemiological and laboratory evidence that there is a link. It's not "proven," but neither was the relation between cigarettes and cancer for a long time.
Let's see. The consensus of atmospheric scientists is that global warming is a serious risk. The consensus of biomedical scientists is that there's probably a link betwen BSE and nvCJD. Who's being the anti-scientific romantic in denying these?
