The avian flu strain H5N1 was first isolated in human beings nine years ago in Hong Kong, and since that time, barely 100 people have died in the whole world. However, the world was alerted to the efficacy of the human antiviral Tamiflu as a preventative. Somebody is and will be making millions of dollars from the manufacturing of this drug which may not even necessarily be effective. http://www.mercola.com/2005/oct/25/rumsfeld_to_profit_from_avian_flu_hoax.htm and http://money.cnn.com/2005/10/31/news/newsmakers/fortune_rumsfeld/ So, how do you feel about this?

If somebody makes the drug and makes money, oh well, somebody had to make it. Start a drug company and compete with them.
If it doesn't work, oh well. It's more than I had to start with. Wish it had worked. If it does work, yeah me! When Tamiflu becomes available and the government says..."it might not work. we wont buy any". America would go nuts. If we did buy it and it didn't work America would go nuts.
Personally, if it works and the flu does come and Tamiflu saves my life.. I don't care what it costs. So until something better comes along, keep the shelves here stocked with what we got and hope for the best.

You basically answered your own question!
The Bird Flu is another Government and FDA whitewash campaign to distract people from the harsh realities of government criminality in today's White House.
