Good to have run into you again.

Yeah, long time no see. Luckily for us this has no connection to the Chinese government (yet), lol. Some of our friends would have to come out of retirement and would be back on ATS again hundreds strong.

Gilead is now working on a vaccine.

Of course they are. And they will lose at least one customer, me, but will probably gain millions more. I'll take my chances with getting the flu this winter before i'll give a penny to those bastards.

The personal attacks need to stop now. It's ok to discuss or even diss the subject of discussion, attacking each other is against the T&C's and will not be tolerated.

Of course it was created.
Perhaps they were just trying to make a cure in case it came back ( or in case "enemies" brought it back), and somehow "someone" got a hold of some of it. They could have been working in a lab in Mexico and one of them got contaminated. Crap happens.
What better excuse for a government grant? Better than unemployment.

Perhaps they were creating a biological weapon and the same thing happened and now they are scrambling to fix it and cover it up quickly.

OR......
Maybe the USA has come up with a virus that only kills Mexicans.
End of border problems. End of our companies being "committed" to keep businesses there which have added to job loss in US. ( Our gov. has given tax cuts to move them there, made deals with their gov., and the businesses pay workers less, don't have to pay employee tax or health benefits) Also, it would give racism a new reason to send the ones here back home ( or let them die here) and get back the jobs they have here.
Come to think of it........that would be one hell of a plan and many asshats would willingly go along.

The truth is, we may never really know who did what. We can not trust any government to be forthcoming.

"Government", is like a husband who just left his girlfriends house and went "home".
His wife asks: " Have you been cheating on me?"
And, Government says: " How could you ask such a thing? I love you! I could NEVER do something like that to you" { walks away looking deeply hurt}

Just remember. ......ANY point of view can be rationalized, and almost any act can be covered up. Pile enough crap on top, and all they will see and smell is the crap.......

RH - blood resists disease, and most of the cartel have this. Also, they probably already have the real innoculation I imagine. But just a few months ago they were digging huge holes that could hold up to 40,000 bodies. Then there was the leaked story of the truckloads of serome shipped across the nation with someone getting sick or dying after an innoculation. These things don't combine in nature do they? And surprisingly Baxter's just about spread worldwide contamination "accidentally" sending the bird flu mixed with a virus that was fast spreading no doubt to get it to incubate in the human body and mutate into a fast spreading bird flu. How is this virus any different than that theory really?

Here is something I really would like to know.
Does anyone know what kind of expiration the flu med.s have?

Just curious, because if all that has been stockpiled is going to expire within, oh say, a year........hmmmmmmm
How long have they had it just sitting there? How many doses???
Gee, it looks like someone is gonna be broke and totally SOL if that were to expire.
Oh wait.....were using it NOW. Imagine THAT!!!

This is probably concocted by the neocons and their private laboratories to shove in Obama's face while he is attempting to bring in a national health care plan to this country. While he's having illegal activities investigated, he should get on investigating this to the fullest extent and not only go for criminal charges, but to recover costs from these guys and possibly the big pharacueticals that make the most, and predicted over 500% profit way ahead of time. Some of it shouldn't be that hard a trail to track for them, and there may be billions to recoup and sink into the universal health care system.

If it is a bio-weapon the people who created it did a garbage job. Not the deadliest thing out there, I could name ten diseases which would be far more harmful off the top of my head. And to all the "Give me evidence it ISN'T an engineered bio-weapon!", well guess what? The person making a claim has the burden of proof in convincing others of it, not the other way around. You'd need to be a moron to believe that I'm a robot from the future here to save us from a coming alien invasion because you can't provide evidence that I'm not. In the same way I'd need to be a complete moron to accept your claims of "oh, this relatively harmless disease was engineered by the "PTB" for... no reason?", simply on the basis that I can't disprove it, I mean it's not like things like this haven't happened before.
