Negative Bird Flu Programming

A lesson from the negative affect of the media this week.

The head govt. medical honcho here in the UK announced this week that IF the bird-flu virus mutates into a human form, and IF it isn't controlled - here in the UK our population could be lighter to the tune of 750,000 people within the next few years.

IF it happens, of course!

Considering that NONE of this has happened in the Far East where the virus has been around for a number of years makes me wonder WHY the government is intent on scaring people like that.

Perhaps someone questioned them about why they were stockpiling 'Tamiflu' to the tune of 14 mill. doses within the next 3 years.

It seems to me that the only 'winner' in this mass dose of negative-expectation is the Swiss company Roche who make Tamiflu.

Guess which company has just announced significant profits on the back of this bird-flu outbreak?

And is expected to earn a few hundred mill. extra a year for the next few years as govts. worldwide stockpile their 'could-be-a-cure-of-sorts' drug over the next few years 'just in case'.

All this is a lesson on the negative effects our governments and media can have on YOUR life if you let it.

Me - I'm just going to do what I have always done. Worry about it IF it happens!
