 Finally,
the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Not
long ago, President Bush sought to
instill panic in this country by telling us
a minimum of 200,000 people will die from the
avian flu pandemic, but it could be as bad as 2
million deaths in this country alone.
This hoax is then used to justify the
immediate purchase of 80 million doses of
Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape
or form treats the avian flu, but only decreases
the amount of days one is sick and can actually
contribute to the virus having more lethal
mutations.
So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million
doses of this worthless drug at a price of $100
per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.
We are being told that Roche manufactures
Tamiflu and,
in a recent New York Times article, they
were battling whether or not they would allow
generic drug companies to help increase their
production.
But if you dig further you will find that a
drug was actually developed by a company called
Gilead that 10 years ago
gave Roche the exclusive rights to market and
sell Tamiflu.
Ahh, The Plot Thickens...
If you read the link below from Gilead,
you'll discover Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in
1997.
Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock
in Gilead, he will handsomely profit from the
scare tactics of the government that is being
used to justify the purchase of $2 billion of
Tamiflu.
For more on the nonsense of the avian flu
hoax, you'll want to review
today's other post on the subject.
Finally Medical Journal Admits the Truth
This week's British Medical Journal has an
editorial on the bird flu in which they
state the following:
"The lack of sustained
human-to-human transmission suggests that
this AH5N1 avian virus does not
currently have the capacity to
cause a human pandemic"
While they do go on to say the virus
could mutate with the influenza A virus and
has the potential to acquire the means for
rapid human to human transmission, it does
NOT have this ability now. All the
preparation and fear being created in the
media is about a theoretical speculation.
Now I am a former Boy Scout and fully
believe in being prepared, but this is
nothing even close to following
recommendations made by experts to New
Orleans that if implemented would have saved
1000 lives and half a million homes and well
over 100 billion dollars from Hurricane
Katrina.
No this is all about creating fear and
panic to benefit the drug companies. Now, I
am still not opposed to being prepared for
this potential bird flu pandemic. It is
POSSIBLE it might materialize. But if it did
there is no way that the flu vaccine or
Tamiflu will mitigate its damage. No way.
If you want to know how to truly
strengthen your immune system so will laugh
when the flu bug or nearly any other
infectious agent seeks to infect you, then
start following the
Total Health Program or read the
quick tips I posted last year.
