Bird Flu - part 9,753 (none / 0)

Ah, this would have nothing to do with the fact that they realised how much Hoffman La Roche were cmaking from Tamiflu, would it ?

Did anybody ever hear of Bird Flu before 1999 ? Three things happened that year;-
Hoffman La Roche got fined $500 million for offences realted to vitamin in the US market.

Hoffman La Roche patented tamiflu

The first televised bird flu scare which sent sales of Tamiflu soaring.

Anyone care to join the dots ?

keep to the Fen Causeway
