Additionally, I also posted another article about bird flu which readers might be interested in, Bird Flu and Vitamin A
There is a certain degree of foil hattery implicit in this post. One commentor to this article on the originationg site had this farrago of anti-US, anti-capatilist nonsense.
Note the shot at Rumsfeld claiming her s=in some fashion is personally profitting from a manufactured epidemic scare:

Liam has proved that what we are being told about bird flu is fraudulent; and this is just part 1.
For me I am now fixated on motive: why?
Why do they need this bird flu scare? Money? Of course, no question - there is always money involved in moves of the global elite. That’s a given.
Here is something I wrote for FTW that has never been published on bird flu:
[Bird flu needs to be viewed within the context of the political reality it has created: Asian countries are being coerced into accepting Western factory farming techniques after culling millions of their chickens; President Bush has allocated $3.8 billion for bird flu drugs and vaccines; Donald Rumsfeld is profiting from Tamiflu even though it shows no signs of being an effective treatment for avian flu; and raising chickens in your backyard, an excellent way to re-localize food security in the face of Peak, will likely be illegal in the near future.
On every level – foreign and domestic – this is economic warfare.
It is also important to note that the Department of Defense (DoD) and Homeland Security have a joint national response plan ready for implementation if a pandemic of bird flu is declared in the United States that could include mandatory quarantines. DoD has already stockpiled 2.7 million doses of H5N1 avian influenza vaccine. This vaccine is brand new and it is impossible that its safety and efficacy could have been determined so quickly. Now the U.S. government is aiming to have 600 million flu vaccine doses available within 6 months of a pandemic.
Are we really being told by Secretary of Health and Human Services Michael Leavitt in the below report to stockpile canned goods and powdered milk because of a virus that has never been isolated by basic laboratory techniques and is alleged to have killed less than 100 people in the past 8 years? Might there be another reason to prepare for food and resource scarcity?
Could it be Peak Oil? Sorry for asking a stupid question.
There is much moving under the carpet of the putative H5N1. If there were no hidden agendas at play this virus would have been properly isolated months ago. Instead, the only technique used to allegedly isolate the virus has been PCR (polymerase chain reaction), which was invented by Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis who maintains that his invention cannot be used to isolate a virus.
Does anything seem fishy about that? – MK]
Someday, I am sure, humanity will be hit by a devastating disease. How 'bout we panic when that actually happens, rather than when some scientists need a cash infusion?
