Just like what he did back in '05 with the Tamiflu 'scare' of a pandemic outbreak, remember? His stock is soaring but this type of fear pandering is costing plenty in the tourism dept. Not to mention controlling travel...here we go again.
250,000 to 500,000 people a year die from some type of flu but WHO (World Health Organization) doesn't call it a pandemic. Only 149 people have died so far and the great American fear machine is amping it up to a worldwide outbreak? Give ME a break.
@bathsheba,
Five years ago I might have thought this was a totally nutty idea.
Now I'm not so sure, and I don't like that.

snopes says 'true' to the tamiflu/roche/rumsfeld connection
huh
@ehBeth,
Yeah, but isn't tamiflu one of the antibios that doesn't work?
