I doubt any incumbents will want to discuss why our various levels of government (over)spent millions (billions) of dollars to stockpile Tamiflu, a drug that was known to be ineffective in the first place -- not to mention the fact that the bird flu virus never has mutated into an airborne form capable of causing a pandemic.
"Political Truth" is an oxymoron. The best bumper sticker I ever saw said it all: "Re-elect NOBODY," i.e. our republic's representative form of government was never meant to have career politicians.
Hmmm. This is a soapbox I didn't mean to get on. Sorry.
You are probably right, Varkie, but I feel sure they'll
come up with some more FEAR tactics somehow,
somewhere, the closer we get to Nov 7th. It may depend
on how smart the Sheeple have become? :wink:
I'm watching the Senate and Congressional races closely.
Foley of Fla sure did himself in, didn't he?
It does seam as all interest has fluen away.
But what is going to happen with all the vaccine that was made? Can we send it back to manufacture for a refund?
Along the same line as to what I being reported and what is not, I ran across the following article.
Quote:
Fox Fires Reporters for Telling the Truth About Milk
In 1997, a pair of reporters prepared a report for a Fox TV affiliate in Florida about the dangers of bovine growth hormone (BGH) in milk. Lawyers for Monsanto, a major advertiser with the network, sent letters promising "dire consequences" if the story aired.
After attempts by Fox to bribe the reporters to keep quiet failed, the station agreed to air a revised version of the report. An unheard of 83 edits later (including Monsanto insisting that the word "cancer" be replaced with the phrase "human health implications"), the report was shelved and the courts took over.
Although a lower court ruled in favor of the reporters for some $425,000, a Florida appeals court denied them whistleblower protection, claiming Fox, and the media in general, have no obligation to tell the truth, in effect, having the freedom to report what is fact and fiction as real news.
I (We) subscribe to Dr. John Cannell's theory of the
seasonal nature of flu (all types). He, and his
colleagues suggest that the reason that flu comes
on in the fourth quarter and continues 'til the second
is plain old Vit D. Low sun angles in the northern
climates, coupled with cold weather that drives us inside,
creates a shortage of this vital element.
We just increased our daily input to 2000 IUs and
will keep it there until spring. (And we do not intend
to get a flu shot)
The 400 IU recommendation of the gov't is bogus.
Your body makes thousands of IUs in the sunlight.
......perhaps given to Vets in Vet Hospitals or Care Centers.
I'm a Vet and going to a Vet's Hosp. right now is scary.
There are corpsmen in the lobby with needles and you
almost have to run the gauntlet to avoid being "shot."
Yeah, I'm a ww2 vet and nothing changes. I was in North Africa + for a couple years and we got something besides the needle: Atabrine--we all turned yellow for many, many months. In addition, there were diseases not even heard of here in the U.S.
Donee, wasn't that an anti-malarial drug at that time? I was in Malaya, as a teenager, in 1955 or so. We all took anit-malarials then and I remember the name Atabrine and people talking about turning yellow!
However . . . I never had the belief that I was being used as a 'G'pig. I had the feeling that the government was doing the best that it could in view of the circumstances. I continue to believe that.

I wish I could believe that. But that is hard to accept when two-thirds of the solders that fought in the Gulf War now have life depilating problems. Is it because of the deplete uranium munitions? The chemical warfare agents or the interaction of all the vaccines given prior to going over there? Or perhaps some of all of the above. In any case they went over as healthy young adults and came back sick.
Then because they have many different ailments they are told their problems are not war related and the government will not treat them. If they continue to complain they are send to a mental ward and are given antidepressants.
Whatever happened to Bird Flu?
