Will the current Foot & Mouth catastrophy be swept under the carpet by the government???

Question

Don't you think it strange that the private company, Meriel, at the centre of the outbrake was, prior to the outbrake, messing about with a virus that has not been seen for over 40 years in the UK. At the same time, prior to the outbrake, they were into production of the vaccine of this particular virus.

A statement from the company, after the event, said that they were simply topping up production of various vaccines, just in case (yer right). Even ones that had not seen the light of day for over 40 years?

How did they know that (a) the virus would escape and that the government would order 300,000 vaccines???

A nice little earner, particularly if you control both the virus and the vaccine.

Answer 1

What I find find disturbing is the company at the centre of the inquiry is French

Answer 2

The Government will try to shift the blame onto the farmers so that they can wriggle out of paying any compensation to the stricken farmers. Why on earth hasn't the Government set up vaccination programs after the last disaster. Every calf should be vaccinated as soon as it is born.Compensation should be paid to the farmers on the same day that the cattle are slaughtered, at the full market price plus an additional sum for re-establishing the herds.Meanwhile we continue to import beef from Brazil and other countries where foot and mouth is prevalent, while our meat exports are immediately banned.

Answer 3

It's all over the press... how can they sweep it under the carpet.

I do agree they are not treating it correctly, however.

Time will tell.

I pity the poor farmers.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

I wondered how long it would take for the conspiracy theorists to come up with this one.

Pleeeeeeeease!
