It is unbelievable that you would think that,,and very much like somebody on DU who rails against the very companies that make our health care the best in the world.

It is also unbelievable that you think the government subsidized drug companies who rely on government controlled markets, the FDA and preferential legislation make our health care the best in the world. If your company doesn't make the right "contributions" your drugs won't get approved in a timely fashion. Similarly, if you grease the right palms whatever poison you want to sell can be put on the market. Medicine has become 50% political and 50% science.

I certainly don't think that the virus is engineered by pharmaceutical companies but at the same time it is silly to defend the virtue of prostitutes.

Well viruses are engineered by pharmaceutical companies, and this combination of pig, avian and human genetic materials is very unusual.

So you are abandoning your original position that drug companies did this to profit from Tamiflu?
