Re:UPDATE - USA $1.7Billion for Fake Bird Flu fight

So big dollars for a fake bird flu eh?
FAKE? - it hasn't caused much of a problem in those who got it so far... its just a flu.
Estimates of 50% mortality is beyond any previous plague's death rate, so it is obviously phoney.
Basic home care ideas are being basically shoved out of the public consciousness, whereas in fact they are the most likely things to help the most people.
Lots of fluids, bed rest, Vit C , Cold FX and other herbs, plus having a good immune system working when it does hit, if it does hit.
There is colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide to kill flu viri that is present.
Elderberry Extract has powerful anti-viral effects know to be able to inactivate an invading virus such as colds and flu.
- and lots more, its best if you find them for yourself, do your own research. More links and examples at bottom.
-------------------The Govt. Spending:
The Tamiflu pills are a major part of the expenditures. It is not ideal though - it will reduce your immune response and damage your liver. You don't want to take these for more than a few days... if at all.
Vaccines are another major expense, and are still being made with mercury preservatives, esp these vaccines that will have to be produced "as it hits".
The point is - we would be better off WITHOUT the government's help. All they are doing is catering to the corporate culture who stands to rake in those billions, and in turn will help the Bush Harpers.
----------------------Aside:
AS the global warming programs gradually shut down in the USA and Canada with conservatives in power, the funding sems to be shifting directly to the pharmaceutical corporations.
This direction has two big benefits for the Bush-Harpers:
1] no emission reductions pleases the oil corporations
2]$1.7billion on Bird flu strategy will please the pharmaceutical corporations.
And what else matters? Once the corporations are happy, nothing else can be wrong or bad and nothing can or will go wrong.
At least that seems to be the opinion of the conservatives and capitalists...
