1800+posts and it looks to be a media,drug company,enhanced crock of crap.

Did you take the time to read some of it, perhaps the past few months' posts?

Practically nobody alive (except those who have already contacted it, over 50% of whom have died) has any immunity to this killer virus which is now spreading like wildfire among the world's wild and domestic bird populations. If it manages to mutate to an easily transmissible human-to-human form (it seems to be doing that as we speak) the end results could be catastrophic.

The Spanish Flu of 1918-19 was a similar type virus and was one of the largest disease killers in history. While it is possible the new H5N1 virus will not make the efficient jump to humans, most experts think it is more likely it will, probably soon. It seems to be doing so (or has done so) in several areas, such as Indonesia and possibly China.

This is not your normal flu "bug" which puts you in bed for a few days with misery and then you go on with life. This is an entirely new ball game, at least new to our generations. Our medical system is woefully inadequate and unprepared if it strikes within the next few years, despite all our wonderful medical technology - which is mostly ineffective against this virus. It is giving the experts nightmares with it's possibilities.

I recommend you read some of the referenced thread for your own knowledge, especially if you are going to make sweeping comments on the subject.
