Yes, they do. They think their government should be able to control everything, even the spread and cure of disease.
Top officials have strongly rejected both claims. Public-health chief Gennady Onishchenko accused Dr. Lvov of an "informational terrorist act," according to the official ITAR-Tass news agency.
Authorities published detailed information about the death Dr. Lvov referred to, arguing that the patient died of pneumonia and other underlying health conditions, not H1N1.
Well the doctor had better be careful he may end up in jail or dead. Reporters have been killed who criticized the government. Why not a doctor?
Hmmm, isnt that how the flue usually kills people? Pneumonia.
Saul Alinsky, and taliban tactic.
And of course, never let a crisis go to waste...
