Global Panic and Deadly Flu
Panic is spreading around the World much faster than a virus. It goes like this: Problem - Reaction - Solution
Who will profit from the "Deadly Flu" this time?
Rumsfeld made the most profit from swine flu in 1976 and bird flu in 2005. Potential profiteers of swine flu are Al Gore´s Kleiner Perkins or Baxter…
It is interesting that the new swine flu virus is in fact a mixture of viruses that are typical for birds, pigs and people. The World Health Organisation has expressed concern and warned about a possible pandemic, but for now there is no explanation as to how the virus managed to mutate in such a short period of time that it can be spread from person to person. Nobody has yet issued any official information about the origin of the new swine flu virus. Some media have recalled the bird flu epidemic in 2005 and early 2006. The only cure for the deadly disease was a drug called Tamiflu, which was produced by the Gilead Sciences pharmaceutical company, whose CEO happened to be Donald Rumsfeld from 1997 to 2001. He stepped down from the position after he took up office as the chief of the Pentagon in Bush’s administration. But he did not give up his shares in the company. The American company made millions of dollars and its shares skyrocketed. The American media called Rumsfeld the bird flu profiteer, having become one of the wealthiest men in America from the earnings from the drug. The Swiss company Roche purchased the rights to the production of Tamiflu. But Rumsfeld’s name was not just connected with the bird flu, but also with the swine flu in the United States in 1976. The story began when one soldier died in New Jersey from what experts believed to be an identical strain of the swine flu virus from 1918. At the time, Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defence and initiated swift action, convincing the people that the new administration would make sure that every man, woman and child in America are vaccinated. The vaccine was produced and distributed across the country at lightning speed. The only problem was that the vaccine had been contaminated which resulted in hundreds of people becoming ill from it, while 52 people died. The question of who will now profit from this deadly virus arises. The swine flu outbreak will probably result in a spike in sales of vitamins, over-the-counter cold meds, hand sanitizers and surgical masks. Businesses that disinfect outbreak sites will hire more short-term employees, as will hospitals. Reuters conducted a research of who could be the potential manufacturer of a new vaccine and came to the conclusion that since the breakout of the swine flu, the shares of two companies increased considerably – Biocryst Pharmaceuticals by 26 percent and Novavax by as much as 75 percent...
Media sensationalism
Be afraid, be very afraid... or turn off your tv. On April 30, the media reported that the World Health Organization (WHO) was expected to soon designate the swine flu as a full pandemic, at level six on the WHO’s six-point scale. WHO director-general Margaret Chan declared, “It is really all of humanity that is under threat during a pandemic.” Shortly afterwards, however, the WHO said that it would continue to use the term “pandemic” even if “the new virus turns out to cause mainly mild symptoms.”
Currently, however, the swine flu outbreak shows little sign of imminently threatening all of humanity. The Mexican government scaled back its tally of swine flu deaths from 176 to 100, of which 19 are “confirmed.” References to pandemics, made without any serious explanation of the scientific meaning of the term, have created an atmosphere of public fear. Since 9/11, the American media and government, in particular, have adopted fear-mongering as a standard tactic for stoking up fear and politically disorienting the public, and then exploiting such moods to justify a militaristic foreign policy and attacks on democratic rights. Media reports have explained the significance of a pandemic by citing the Black Death plague that wiped out a third of the population of 14th-century Europe, or the 1918 flu epidemic that killed 30-50 million people worldwide. Worried about swine flu? Then you should be terrified about the regular flu. In fact, the swine flu has until now caused far fewer deaths than even normal, seasonal flu, 250,000-500,000 in an average flu season. The solution: buy your Tamiflu or whatever NOW! BUY NOW and be saved. /more

How deadly it really is? At its heart, swine flu is a fairly traditional respiratory disease. It has an incubation period of one to two days, and causes fevers, lethargy, loss of appetite, coughing, runny nose and sore throat. In some cases, it can have a gastric component, leading to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The economic effect has been pretty much deadlier. New World Order launched a full scale war on humanity. What's next?
