A British laboratory has reportedly confirmed the H5N1 strain of avian flu has spread to Switzerland.

The Veterinary Laboratory Agency in Weybridge, England, confirmed the body of a duck found Saturday in Geneva tested positive for the virus, The Times of London reported Thursday. A duck found on the German side of Lake Constance was confirmed last week as having been infected by the virus.

The discoveries came as a group of U.S. military scientists urged creation of a global network of laboratories to contain outbreaks of bird flu and other diseases that could start a world pandemic, The Times said. The scientists noted most developing nations where new infections are most likely to start lack the resources to adequately respond.....

Switzerland is no longer neutral

Here's a 'liberal' point of view on "Bird Flu" I got emailed from a dear old...still liberal after all these years 55 yr old long time friend....

"Interesting. Heard there was a connection between Rumsfeld and the developers of the vaccine the government bought millions of for this. Roche licenses it from the Rumsfeld company and people are crying hoax cuz they think bird flu is a scare tactic to line good ol' boy coffers. Sounds plausible since the "vaccine" they are buying probably will be ineffective if it will take 9 months to create once the strain has mutated".

I think "Bird Flu" is already here....
