Anyone remember how SARS was going to kill us all ?
I'm not all that worried about bird flu. There's no evidence that it is going to spread to humans. So who or what is pushing everyone's panic buttons this time? One guess.
There's always a crisis. Anyone remember when SARS was going to sweep the planet and kill millions?
The conspiracy theorist in me says that people have become complacent about SARS. They're educated, the hospitals and doctors know what to look for, and any further outbreaks can be contained with some effort. So clearly the public isn't worried about that any more, but a calm populous isn't easy to control. And controlling the public through fear is what B*sh is all about. Ah yes. B*sh. One word : "Bioshield". Look it up.
Project Bioshield is a $5.6 billion program B*sh signed into law in July 2004 that would strip U.S. citizens of any recourse in the event that the feds decide on certain health-care remedies. These include the mandatory application of unproven vaccines to counter real or perceived health threats worldwide.
Read that again, between the lines. Project Bioshield means that the government in America can whip up some strain of virus - say a flu - perhaps a variant of avian flu - and then use it to innoculate the populous by force. For which the populous has no comeback.
The current hysteria over Avian flu is actually resulting in its manufacture in military laboratories in the U.S and elsewhere. Why? H5N1 Avian Flu, currently causing the slaughter of thousands of wild birds, has shown no propensity to "mutate" and jump to humans. That mutation is also highly unlikely right now.
No - what's going to happen is B*sh and co. are going to get the public of the Western world into such a state of blind panic that the powers-that-be will respond to public concerns by first creating and then making available a vaccine for which there is as yet no disease. To put it another way, since a vaccine is a weak form of what it is intended to combat, government labs will be the ones who introduce the human-strain H5N1 virus into the real world. And that is what Project Bioshield is all about.
Think about it. To make the human vaccine specific for the H5N1 mutant virus, you've got to start with the human virus. That's how vaccines work. But human strain H5N1 doesn't exist naturally - it's not made the jump, and as far as science is concerned, can't. So perhaps a military biomedical pharmaceutical lab somewhere is working on that. To produce the human strain pathogen, the avian flu virus must be cultured for lengthy periods of time in human cell cultures, then injected into monkeys and ultimately humans to see if these experimental subjects get the flu.
"Lengthy periods of time" in the biochem world could constitute a couple of years. Google H5N1 - when did it last see the light of day? 2003. Two years ago. Coincidence?
Ultimately, everything nowadays revolves around money. Whoever the first biochem company is who perfect the humain strain H5N1 virus, and thus its vaccine, will be the ones to benefit financially when a panic-stricken populous all demand vaccination for a disease that doesn't exist.
