Bush that should have been Licked...

Published on November 20, 2005 By alison watkins In Current Events

President Bush is busy throwing money away on the search for "weapons of mass destruction," while the avain flu threatens to wipe out the US.

And to think, all of that money being spent on keeping friends and family way for something that has been labled as not being true could have been spent on a vaccine......

How can there be a war on a concept, anyway?

Up yours, W.

Avian Flu isn't human-to-human yet... just unsanitary conditions-to-chicken-to-human. I'm told this recent scare bears a striking resemblance to the Swine Flu of the 70s... which was basically a bit scare over a potential lethal flu strain that NEVER spread to humans but people went nuts over.

We can't vaccinate against a strain that has to significantly mutate to spread between humans.

Right now, this is 100% fear mongering... there is nothing anyone can do at this stage to combat this one yet. It's all a bunch of Ifs and Maybes.

mod:
it was pretty attention getting, was it not?!

Zoomba:
well, since the country seems to be afraid of everything, I would rather be prepared than be stuck in a rut.

It's such a shame that we live in a 30 sec soundbyte world. War, Deadly Flu, CIA Leak and now the weather.
Flu Shots--Tuskegee?

actually there is. three private concerns are working on developing a vaccine that triggers the immune system to core (non-mutating) components of the virus responsible for all such similar flus rather than those components which adapt to each new vaccine formulation.

but since it involves working with 'cells', i wouldn't expect to see any support from the government--much less the kinda support this would seem to deserve.

Seriously, look up the Swine Flu scare before you buy into this current craze at all.
