The British Medical Journal recently featured an editorial on
the bird flu in which they state the following:
The lack of sustained human-to-human transmission suggests that
this AH5N1 avian virus does not currently have the capacity to
cause a human pandemic.
Theoretical Speculation
While they do go on to say the virus could mutate with a
influenza A virus and has the potential to acquire the means for
rapid human to human transmission, it does not have this ability
now; the preparation and warnings are entirely about a
theoretical speculation.
No Lawsuits or Compensation Allowed
Meanwhile, the Bush administration’s proposed $7.1-billion
pandemic flu plan seeks broad restrictions on lawsuits against
producers of vaccines and antiviral drugs, and makes no mention
of how those injured or killed by adverse reactions could be
compensated.
Yesterday’s Wired magazine does an excellent review of detailing
why this plan will fail. They conclude:
“.it will take at least five years to create enough
manufacturing capacity to reach that goal. Then it will take
another eight months to create a new vaccine that combats the
specific strain that would be killing people. In other words, it
would be 2011 at the earliest before every American could be
vaccinated against a bird flu pandemic.”
The other, even
likewise serious shortcoming of the plan is that it would protect
vacineproducers and distributors except in cases of “willful
misconduct,” a term to be defined later.
Lawsuits Not An Undue Burden
Bush has called “the growing burden of litigation” one of the
greatest obstacles to vaccine production. But critics have
pointed out that lawsuits against vaccines are relatively rare;
a recent study of the subject found only ten lawsuits related to
flu vaccine over the past 20 years.

Dr. Mercola’s Comment:Many enjoyed my breaking story on the
connection of Donald Rumsfeld and the Bird Flu Hoax last month.
It was one of the most read stories I have ever run. In fact it
was widely passed around the internet and was posted by innumerable
than 100,000 websites. It even prompted CNN to pick up the story.
This is an update tothe continuing bird flu saga.The drug
companiesgot a multi-billion dollar pile of cash, andwith the
new legislation that was recentlypassed,they can’t be sued no
matter what they do, except for “willful misconduct”, whatever
that means.
This effectually allows them to collect a barrel of cash from
this hoax and avoid any responsibility for the inevitable harm
and damage that will result from their solution for this created
villain.
Remember this is allfor a pandemic that will likely never
materialize. I am a former Boy Scout and fully believe in being
prepared,however this is not even close to the recommendations
made byexperts to New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina, that
if implemented would have saved 1,000 lives,500,000 homes and
well over $100 billion.
No, this is all about creating fear and panic to benefit the
drug companies. Now, I am still not opposed to being prepared
for this potential bird flu pandemic. It is POSSIBLE it just
might materialize, highly unlikely, but certainly possible.
But ifbird flu did develop as projected, there is no way that
the flu vaccine or Tamiflu will mitigate its damage. No way!
If you want to know how to truly strengthen your immune system
so you will laugh when the flu bug or nearly any other
infectious agent seeks to infect you, then start following the
Total Health Program or read the quick tips I posted last year:
First, start focusing on eating properly. That means
avoiding:
- Fast foods
- Sugars
- Grains
- Trans-fats
Additionally you can increase the healthy and essential fats
like the omega-3 fats found in fish and cod liver oil: Those of
you who read the newsletter regularly know I’m a fan of the
Carlson’s brand of fish oil and cod liver oil, as I have seen
clear and often substantial improvements in my patients who use
it. Plus, Carlson’s fish and cod liver oil is one of the few
brands that put the extra vitamin E in it for you straight from
the get-go, so you don’t have to take extra vitamin E if you
don’t want to.
You can find Carlson’s fish or cod liver oil at your local
health food store, or, for your convenience, on my Recommended
Products page section.
Also, be sure to increase the good carbohydrates like those
in vegetables, and the healthy proteins like those in clean,
naturally raised meats (i.e., NOT the kind you typically find in
grocery stores). That means learn your metabolic type as soon as
possible so you know what proportion of fats, carbs and proteins
are ideal to build your immune system.
Additionally, if you are to successfully prevent the flu, it
is also important to:
- Exercise regularly,
- Get enough sleep,
- Address stressors,
- Wash your hands regularly.
