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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I wish I had thought of it and managed to pull it off. It does, however, show that it can be done.
