So Rumsfeld is making a killing from the birdflu!?

[wildbilln864]

Well that explains the constant scare campaign!

Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu. The US Defence Secretary has made more than $5m (£2.9m) in capital gains from selling shares in the biotechnology firm that discovered and developed Tamiflu, the drug being bought in massive amounts by Governments to treat a possible human pandemic of the disease.

1. No...

surprise here I guess!

[wildbilln864]

2. So I guess...

this is no surprise to anyone else huh? Has this been mentioned on the MSM?

[babylonsister]

6. No surprise; we knew he had stock, and no, the corp. media

would never breathe a word of it.

[sam sarrha]

3. he probably sold the stock because Tamiflu does not work.. it only

eases maybe ONE day of the flu, and you have to take it when infected before the symptoms start

so how the hell did they do the test on that.. how did they know who was infected without symptoms

i was a research technician i know how they set this shit up

7. other countries are buying and ordering tons of it. guess they don't

know it's useless. or the bushmilhousegang has scared them into insanity.

8. Oh you can be sure...

there are those in those countries making bookoo money off of it too!

9. Other countries have already abandoned Tamiflu in favor of Relenza

they've found that the bird flu strain is resistant to Tamiflu.

But So Long As Rumsfeld has already Made his killing, no problem. :sarcasm:

4. If I recall correctly,

the fact that he owned shares in the company was discussed several months ago. Didn't realize that he has been selling his shares though.

5. He knows something. Stock getting ready to tank.

Soon as everyone realizes that Tamiflu doesn't work. Scams are what Repugs live for.
