Avian Flu Update

The mass panic continues abroad as cases of Avian Flu is reported in the following locations: Russia, Siberia, Moscow, China, Hong, Kong, Netherlands, Greece, Romania and Turkey.
Countries that are freaking by following "..a WHO recommendation, calling on governments to keep enough anti-viral drugs and regular human flu vaccines to inoculate at least 25 percent of their populations." United Kingdom, United States, Morocco, Taiwan, Israel, Jordan, New Zealand, Australia, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Croatia to name a few.

The Real Effect

All of this despite several facts:
  1. At present, there is no Avian flu vaccine for humans.
  2. Countries are spending BILLIONS on treatments which have no proven efficacy.
  3. Sixty people worldwide have died and only 120 have been infected.
  4. The 'outbreaks' have occurred primarily in areas with hardly, if any, sanitation.
Expect the fear to build as countries throw all common sense out the window and begin to implement 'plans' to force the populaces to build immunity through mandatory vaccinations. I don't know if this will be the start of the supposed upcoming bio-war, but it looks like it will at least get people talking about the necessity of forced inoculation.

Nice.

I guess you could call this a reality check, then?

Sounds good to me.
The extreme panic-mongering on the Avian Flu is at best an overreaction.
