93. Perhaps you should not use the MSM as your only source of info.
Avian Flu & its possible mutation to a form that easily transmits between humans has been discussed for years by the WHO & others. Influenza Pandemics have been long-term subjects of serious concern. How would vaccines be created & mass produced quickly? How would the public health system deal with so many patients?

The 1918-19 Pandemic killed 500,000 in the US. The Asian Flu of 1957-58 killed 70,000 in the US. The 1968-69 Hong Kong Flu killed 34,000--again, these are only US figures.

Of course the MSM are screaming their heads off--when they are not telling us that Tom Cruise will be a daddy. Of course the Bush regime will use the issue in the worst way possible. Would you expect anything else?
