I am skeptical about this as I wonder if they knew there would be a big scare campaign. They also knew the virus they had developed was not very virulent and a bit of a joke compared to what can be really engineered and the destruction that can know be done to the immune system with these recombinant viruses. And when they are next released there will now be a shortage of vaccines.

How clever.

After all we didn't want the Swine flu vaccine and they "conveniently" lost billions so why should they now manufacture another (except for themselves)

Trying to think outside the nine dots about this issue as there is obviously a lot more to it and we may be dealing with devils but they are NOT stupid.

Very early in the scare I became very interested in Donald Rumsfeld's involvement with the makers of Tamiflu. Once I put that in perspective I knew this whole things was a scare tactic to make money for big pharma.
It didn't need to be lobbied. It was all very 'in-house'.

The Shrub Posse: "You take one for the team, Don, and we'll throw you under the bus and fire you (but behind the scenes we'll 'throw you a huge bone.') After all we're REALLY good at scaring people and making them think they are in grave danger. "

I see plenty of indications that this virus was intended by TPTB to be a killer.
However the work on the virus was mostly being done by scientists who would have believed their work was purely for the pursuit of knowledge, so they would not have been perfecting one to stay deadly in a modern environment.

And TPTB, despite being a bunch of evil anal orifices, are not necessarily all that clever.

Living space, nutrition, sunshine and hygiene are the things that keep us healthy. Despite the hype from drug companies convincing us we need their products, their contribution to the health of mankind is probably outweighed by the harm they have done, and is certainly outweighed by the health benefits of good living conditions.

The only way to make a flu virus stay deadly and super contagious is for people to be crowded close together with inadequate food, water and sunshine.
- Like on the troop ships that carried this flu to Europe in 1918.

This is why the possibility of detention camps during an outbreak is so frightening. Even hospitals become danger-zones in those circumstances.

Our safety lies in making people aware.
If a large enough proportion of the population are aware of what could be going on, it's much harder for for the government to enforce anything.

- As we saw with the vaccines.
