I posted this article 1 1/2 years ago to make that exact information public. The title, as you may recall, is "Tamiflu "Useless" Against H5N1 Bird
Flu."
Unfortunately, there are few other treatment options for bird flu, and as a result, doctors are poised to
withhold treatment for late stage
cases - and just let the victims die.
That is why Dr. de Jong, the original Tamiflu whistleblower, is backtracking and now urging authorities to recommend treatment
even for patients
whose disease has progressed.
The fact is - even though Tamiflu and other anti-virals do not work well, they ARE better than nothing.
Of note:
Anti-cholesterol drugs called "statins" may be better than nothing
too.
2. Bird flu IS a menace. It already has decimated national and regional economies in Asia and near-Asia - and destroyed the food supplies of those
areas' poor.
Yeah and it already did a couple of time since it exists, since the beginning of the century.
Sources? Details? ...According to my research, the only confirmed outbreaks threatening a pandemic occurred in 1918 and now (as of 2003). I have
suspicions, but no confirmed data - so whatever you have would be more than welcome.
By
1959, H5N1 bird flu was discovered in chickens in Scotland where it was isolated and used in
experiments.
I have repeatedly presented my hypothesis here on ATS that bird flu did originate in the early 1900's as a result of vaccine contaminations. This
hypothesis is based on pathology, not micro- or molecular biology (I don't have access to genomes etc.).
However, there was a formal acknowledgment that the 1918 flu pandemic resulted from a bird flu - which came later, after the 1918 flu virus was
re-engineered and grown in a CDC lab.
Some of my background research is here:
Bird Flu Spin and Counterspin.
3. The most significant danger presented by H5N1 bird flu is its capacity to hybridize with other zoonoses like rabies, dengue fever and anthrax, for
example - and to create the perfect microbial storm.
Yeah it could. And Bush could die tomorrow and an error could spark a nuclear war next week.
???
This is, in fact, the most significant danger presented by bird flu - it is real, and imminent.
Please - inform yourself. Hint: learn some science, and read the original research reports, not the watered down, inaccurate media releases.
And read at least
some of the very valuable information presented
here.
IMO - you are quite right that this crisis is being used opportunistically, for profit. But you are under-informed, and flailing about with some
totally erroneous accusations.
Errounous accusations? Rumsfeld was the chairman of Gilead Sciences, so he owns a hell of stocks, between 5 millions and 25 millions$ in stocks, and
they have the control of the main ingredient of Tamiflu, the only know ``cure`` to the bird flu. So with spreading the threat of the bird flu and
hyping it, he made a hell lot of money when the stock rose from 35$ to 57$ because Bush allowed 1 billion from your taxes to buy Tamiflu.
True. As I originally reported
here,
here,
here (see "Tracking
the Money").
The manipulations are real - and the looming pandemic crisis is
real too.
Rumsfeld and Bush did not manufacture the bird flu threat - they
rode it, and censored the information released to the public so they could
position, and profit.
Hell, it's not a coincidence that a bird flu hype appeared when Bush and Rumsfeld were in office and have plenty of stocks from this corporation.
They created the hype. Halliburton was awared billions of no-bid contracts and Bush made money over the rise of the oil's price.
Bush and the boyz suppressed reams of scientific information - about global warming - and about the impact of agri-industry and nano-biotech on
microbes.
They knew for a long time that the pandemic crisis was coming - the writing was on the wall, and scientists were screaming warnings. And just like the
scientists said it would, the crisis hit its turning point early in Bush's regime.
So Bush gagged US scientists; many microbiologists were killed; and the critical information was suppressed while the boyz did their positioning,
orchestrating and manipulating.
Yes. They positioned to profit. But no, they did not manufacture the crisis. They manipulated the crisis for their own profit - NOT to serve the
public good.
That's the conspiracy.
