I'll bet it was that darn Yogi...

I'm actually surprised that amongst these conspiracy theories nobody has pointed out that the people set to make the most from this being blown out of proportion are the people involved in Roche and Glaxo. You can't pick up a newspaper without seeing the words "Tamiflu" or "Relenza".

I'm no expert but I know that pharmaceutical companies aren't able to get the funding they once were due to the rise in resistance rendering most new drugs useless almost as soon as they hit the market. They must be rubbing their hands when we all start panicking like this...

Tamiflu?
Childish, but I know theres a joke in there somewhere!

Spit it out then cock

Very good point, i didn't think about this, your more intelligent than your mum, sorry Debs .

Be very careful here.

Insider is the lothario of this board.

Why does everybody assume that its a conspiracy theory?

Was the Bubonic Plague a global conspiracy instigated by some pharmaceutical companies?

We aren't top of the food chain, bacteria and viruses are above us, we think we're one step ahead of them with science but they can mutate and shift to survive and thrive.

This swine flu thing may or may not end up in a pandemic, but its perfectly logical and likely that there will be a pandemic of something at some point, which is what the scientists have been predicting for years.

Just hope its a pandemic flu that comes, and not smallpox, because thats what would really devastate.

Is that due to size of brain or size of mouth though.

What are you trying to do, show your intelligence as well
