According to a report in the May 30 edition of the French newspaper, Le Journal du Dimanche, the Sarkozy government has authorized spending of an estimated €1 billion to buy vaccines allegedly to combat or protect against H1N1 Swine Flu virus. The only problem is that to date neither the WHO nor the US Government's Center for Diseases Control (CDC) have succeeded to isolate, photograph with an electron microscope and chemically classify the H1N1 Influenza A virus. There is no scientifically published evidence that French virologists have done so either. To mandate drugs for a putative disease that has not even been characterized is dubious to say the least.
26K cases (of which mortality rate is ?%) worldwide (73 countries) is a pandemic? Is this story verifiable? Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
It doesn't seem to be particularly infectious, either.
Of course this could be a mild strain etc etc, but would these vaccinations be any use against a - hypothetitcal - more virulent form?
