Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 The case of “the impending pandemic of the Avian Flu†might as well have been a fictional mini-series made for television, but as usual, reality is stranger than fiction. It would be hard to make up a story as filled with greed and political corruption as this one. Back in 2005, headlines warned the U.S. was facing a cataclysmic extermination event, with a calculated two million Americans succumbing to the bird flu; the best case scenario taking only 200,000 lives. Photos of overflowing hospital wards from the 1918 flu epidemic heightened the fear factor to a fever pitch. Well. A fool does in the end what the wise man does at the beginning, and this would certainly apply here. Reviewing the scientific facts is often a good place to start, but that did not happen in this case. Somehow they were able to translate the minuscule deaths that had occurred worldwide into somewhere between 200,000 to 2 million deaths from a virus that does NOT readily spread from birds to humans, nor between humans. Most of the people who acquire the infection were, and still are, bird handlers in continuous contact with sick birds. How did anyone in their right mind envision similar circumstances in the United States? Research like this would typically be thrown in the trash if it did not strongly support some ulterior purpose. What might that purpose have been? Try greed. At $100 per dose, the U.S. used taxpayer’s dollars to purchase some 20 million doses of the highly questionable Tamiflu, lining the pockets of then Defense Secretary Rumsfeld who was president of Gilead Sciences when they created the drug. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/2/14/i-was-right-about-the-bird-flu-hoax.aspxThe year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.
