What does everyone think of this impending bird flu epidemic? Are we being sold another line here? There's constant talk of H5N1 mutating and crossing to humans, are we being buttered up for the 'big event'?

The pharmaceutical industry has been selling stockpiles of bird-flu vaccine to governments around the world in case of a breakout, but how can you make a vaccine for a virus that hasn't yet mutated into what it may become...?

Unless, of course, you have created a mutated version of it yourself...

Two years on...

The big 'Avian Flu' scare was nothing but a flash-in-the-pan, along with SARS and Swine Flu.

And yet, the WHO, UN, world governments, big pharma and the media had us all of us convinced that millions of us would die.

Now, was this just a ploy to sell more drugs, or is this a 'cry wolf' scenario so that when 'the real deal' comes along, we all just ignore it, skip the shots and really end up dying by the million?
