Do you think spread of bird flu is an natural even or there is a conspiracy behind what's going on. I mean its possible that some of the influencial people are trying to spread it deliberately for economic or political gain.

Seriously, no. Where do people get this sort of crap from. Let me guess, the 1918 outbreak was made up? Or perhaps the government made it in some lab somewhere?
Avian influenza risks are real. The rapidly mutating virus is normal. There is no conspiracy over this.

Definitely natural. This same thing happened back in 1918 with the Spanish flu that killed millions, although nobody even remotely had the ability to manufacture a flu like that back then. Even now it is totally improbably that anyone would do that. This is real life, not "V for Vendetta".

Thumbs up for bacteria boy. There are lot's of things wrong with this world, in the government and corporate worlds. Man made viral epidemics are not one of them. Going around chasing every conspiracy theory only detracts from the causes that should be pursued.
Influenza has been around forever. Long before we even knew what DNA was.

This is like asking if the bubonic plague, malaria, or tuberculosis were invented by some "influential people." Influenza virus is a dangerous virus that is particularly good at what it does. Just because something exists and is pathogenic doesn't mean that some human invented it.
