remember SARS? That was supposed to be the great epidemic about 3 years ago. I actually have friends who canceled a vacation to China because of their fear of SARS. Since then, I have gone to Vietnam 3 times, which is supposedly at the heart of the coming H5N1 (bird flu) pandemic.
It is all b.s. But I can't figure why our gov't lets this happen. Are President Bush and Congress really this gullible? Or are they part of some conspiracy which I dont understand?
By the way, does anyone remember back during the Clinton administration when all the chickens in Taiwan were slaughtered because of some disease (not SARS of H5N1) and Taiwan's entire chicken industry was replenished with Tyson chickens from Arkansas?
