Amen-- and what gets me is that our very own president- and his henchmen are really playing up this Birdflu hysteria.

Bush was even talking about enforced mandatory vaccination eventually earlier in October.

Where was all this hype with Anthrax?-- especially when Anthrax acutally did contaminate a few places right in America-with several deaths. Sure, it was intentional contamination by some evil people, and not a flue outbreak, but it could have turned into a pandemic as far as anyone knew at that time.

I smell something underhanded with our government and the drug companies regarding this entire Avian Flu hysteria.

Maybe Bush is even using this situation to make the Republican party look pretty after the disasterous indifference with FEMA regarding the last two hurricanes., - who knows, I cant put my finger on it- but something sure stinks .
