    Swine Flu

    http://www.nhs.uk/news/2009/04April/...flulatest.aspx

    Last updated: 10.00 BST Friday February 5 2010

    The National Pandemic Flu Service, set up to offer online and telephone assessments, has now closed. The decline in swine flu cases means the service is no longer needed, although it can be reinstated within seven days if a new wave of infections emerges.

    However, a lot of people have become very rich selling anti-virals and vaccines.

          I wish I had thought of it and managed to pull it off. It does, however, show that it can be done.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            What are they going to do with the huge stockpile of antivirals, etc, that we paid countless £billions for that only have short shelf life?

              That's why I've stayed off the bench, certainly. It was strange though, how the big evil pharma companies reduced their profits by giving the stuff away to their employees. Obviously a double bluff.

                  The fact is people in the UK were vaccinated early in the pandemic, when this is done it acts as a barrier for the disease. In other words it worked in the UK. Compare that with Swine Flue Ukraine where it is a disaster.

                    Link? In "The Voyage Of The Beagle", Darwin notes how diseases/ailments barely affecting some populations had a devastating effect on others.
