Bird Flu BooBoo

Posted by dudlee (gee, that name sounds familiar) in Comments:

The US has purchased 20 million doses of Tamiflu at $100 per dose to "treat" this avian flu ($2 billion).

Roche manufactures Tamiflu, but it was actually developed by a company called Gilead 10 years ago. Gilead gave Roche exclusive rights to market and sell Tamiflu.Donald Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in 1997 and holds major portions of stock in Gilead.He's gonna make a fortune ... enjoy your Tamiflu boys and girls.

Gee, 20 million doses of flu vaccine goes into a population of nearly 300 million how many times?

And remember what Frist did last year with the shortage of flu vaccine?

He vaccinated even the healthiest members of Congress first to MUCH criticism from the medical and taxpayer groups. Frist answered this criticism by saying, "We're important. You're not."
