Is Swine Flu the Latest U.S. Bioweapon Attack?

Is Swine Flu the Latest U.S. Bioweapon Attack?

worldmeets.us

 

“The patent for Tamiflu, the medicine recommended by the World Health Organization, is owned by Gilead Sciences, one of the properties of Donald Rumsfeld, [former] U.S. Defense Secretary. … To accept that we are again dealing with the manipulation of a virus by U.S. military might seem ridiculous … and yet, there is evidence in its own media of the negligent way that nation treats the handling of this dreaded field of biological warfare.”

Former Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld: Just as it was during the SARS epidemic in Asia during 2002-2003, rumors are circulating that since the company he owns a good piece of, Gilead Sciences, makes the medications used to treat the epidemic, that somehow he’s behind the infection.

There are governments who tend to unify public opinion. A perfect example would be the government of Miguel de la Madrid, which became paralyzed after the earthquake of September 19, 1985. Madrid didn’t know what to do and left rescuing the victims and restoring of Mexico City in the hands of ordinary citizens and the Virgin de Guadalupe.

 

To this day, popular opinion condemns the former president for his absence and his apparent lack of interest in the fate those he governed.

 

The tragedy that now confronts the government of Felipe Calderón also fulfills these criteria, except for the newspapers, where there is recognition of the extreme measures that have been taken to address the swine flu.

 

But in the streets, the perception is a different one. Many connect the surprising emergence of the plague with the approaching elections on July 5, while others charge that the virus is a way of diverting the attention of Mexicans from the grave economic crisis, rising unemployment and the unchecked rise of assassinations in the streets of the country’s major cities. A minority simply ask who is being enriched as a result of the epidemic.

 

The answer to that is simple, although it may be terribly misleading: The patent for Tamiflu, the medicine recommended by the World Health Organization, is owned by Gilead Sciences, one of the properties of Donald Rumsfeld, [former] Secretary of Defense of the United States. The manufacture and sale of the drug are carried out by Roche Laboratories, who, thanks to the tragedy, have risen in the ranks at the Zurich Stock Exchange by 3.5 percent.

It is not unprecedented for viruses from several different animals to “recombine” within a single animal. For example, the 1918 flu pandemic appears to have been a combination of pig and human viruses.
