Thanks for answering my question. Your link, however, is to the Journal of Cosmology which is not a highly regarded source within the field. It's merely a Web site, not a true peer-reviewed science journal.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Thus far scientists have found no evidence that meteorites contain any type of live bacteria or virus, much less any microbe that can cause plagues and epidemics past or present. This does not rule out the possibility that certain objects from space may carry certain molecules that could be considered the "building blocks of life" as we know them. However, the argument that they are responsible for past plagues and that they carry live disease producing microbes is quite a stretch at this point. Live microbes found aboard meteors that have been examined have likely occurred due to contamination after they landed on earth. Still we cannot rule out the entire possibiliy of such things happening. But to date evidence for such phenomenon from reputable peer reviewed sources isn't there.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO

Simple Q, would not the very high temperatures from entering the atmosphere kill off any living organism that coud be on the meteorite?
Most remnantts found show a molten outer shell of the debris and even if it is a larger part the innards should bcome hot enough to strilise the lump of material...

Yet another old superstition was that comets were harbingers of death and disaster. Now we know better, or do we? Panspermia? Well if you use a frying pan for a condom more power to ya.

Do women worry about all the fat going to their vaginas? That's what women worry about right?
Panspermia. Remember the Love Boat theme? Instead of saying "The Love Boat" when singing it in your head like you're doing right now, just say, "Panspermia."
Gee, that makes a whole lot of sense. I almost forgot something.

Not necessarily, it can eat you alive.
