swine flu over

90 million swine flu doses ordered by the Government from GlaxoSmithKline @ £6 / dose in 2009. [That’s £540 million spent on something with little research.]

5 ¼ million actually diagnosed cases in this country. There £508 ½ million worth of the drug being stored now. What a waste! On top of that, I dread to think the needless strain on the NHS who had extra training and endless meetings and consultations about this, the services created money pumped into the service created or the time wasted!

Yet again another fear mongered pandemic blow out f proportion by tabloids, QUANGO fear campaigns, the GMC and everybody else. Next time something that supposedly threatens human existence comes along, let’s take a deep breath and have a look at bird flu, SARS, foot and mouth, CJD or any of the others.

GSK are partly to blame for the extortionate rate they charged the government [and developing it in Canada!] but the real criminal is Rupert Murdoch who’s empire made us believe only Robocop armed with 200 billion vaccines could save humanity from certain extinction.

Of course the government over ordered ‘cos if it hadn’t they would have been criticized for lack of foresight or negligence. Okay, I’m being sensationalist now, which is awful, but next time, can we please just be realistic, after initial exposure this had caused only a handful of deaths in mexico [of all places!] and less than 10 over here, where our awareness is heightened and medical care better.

Every time a virus , bacteria or parasite mutates, a much stronger ones mutates with it: humans! It’s not all doom and the end is nigh type shit.
