FLU OR SNAFU?

No, my sanity has not taken a hit and I am prepared for the onslaught! I am very concerned about the influenza outbreaks (bird flu and now swine flu). In 2005, George Bush stood with Donald Rumsfeld at his side and spoke of the potentially deadly bird flu virus. He then promoted a $7 Billion pandemic flu plan to develop and stockpile vaccines for this virus. More than half of the money would go towards speeding up vaccine technology and stockpiling future vaccines. I remember thinking how odd it was, Bush and Rumsfeld making this announcement. Bush AND Rumsfeld? You may or may not know that Donald Rumsfeld is a major stockholder in Tami-flu, the primary treatment for these flu types. Hmm, if I were to extrapolate that out to the maximum conspiracy effort, it would lead me right back to the terrorist-level warnings and fear-mongering we dealt with during the Bush administration’s disastrous reign. You may recall that every time Bush was backed up against the wall on any particular issue, out would come another terror alert thus, a deflection of the problems he faced at that moment. Most of you that read “letters” know my penchant for attacking Bush and his cronies (well founded, factual and soon to be released validation of those accusations are out and more are coming). SO, why would I not believe that these flu warnings are media driven and might possibly be contrived to amass even more billions for these criminals? Yes, people are dying, but there is no apparent demographic more susceptible to this virus. Have you been sick your family or friends? Have you lost someone to THIS virus, or was it in reality, another illness? OR a negative reaction to the vaccine? Health care fraud is huge. Is it possible we are victims of more outrageous greed? Is there a danger in this “flu” or is this a deliberate scare tactic to force money into supply and demand? Some reports decry Tami-flu as useless and in fact, possibly deadly in itself with potential side effects not to be taken lightly. Be prepared for the industry to take credit for warning us then providing us the medication that surely saved us all. I find that a bit of a mystery and frankly, I don’t like the way this looks.
