I am about to emerge from isolation. I'm a bit nervous. Will anyone who recognises my mug from this blog treat me as tainted?

You know I would not put it past the WHO deliberately spreading H1N1 just to justify their ridiculous paranoid claims. To even call this a "pandemic" is fascicle! Every year we normally have 2 flu strains that slowly spread around the globe killing close to 1 million people. Every year our immune system must construct new antibodies to deal with these new flu strains. H1N1 is no different and clearly only kills those that already have health issue's or a weak immune system. The whole H1N1 seems suspiciously "hype" for the reason of selling Tamiflu that was largely going expired on the shelf from the last media beat up, that being "bird flu". In a funny kind of way the world could do with a pandemic right now, it removes the weaker of the species and also helps with our human over population numbers that if reduced would help us out of recession. Not to make this sound like I put such an event on my wish list, but just for argument sake would a big Pharma company like Roche?

Guy - not as tainted as I was treated wearing a mask on my trip back to Australia! Everyone I speak to here in Melbourne is pretty relaxed about the whole thing and can't really understand why we were put in quarantine in NZ.

Dear lord man, you're unfamiliar with Bushmills malt? Shame on you. That quarantine is clearly deserved. I'd give the Black Bush a lash after the malt.

Further to "justice #2" - so now we find out that seasonal flu is no longer susceptible to Tamiflu! Thus Roche would be going to be left holding huge stockpiles on an ineffective drug. Thus "conspiracy theories" will no doubt flourish, they may even be true! The Oz government is now treating piggy flu like seasonal flu and the sooner we do here the better. The media/health department hype over piggy flu is incredible - wish they would do the same with "P" and drunk driving! But then that would be much more difficult.

@Sam - and infintely less profitable.

Justice

You attack the WHO and accuse them of spreading this thing and claim its all a conspiracy to sell tamiflu.You then accuse people of ridiculous paranoid claims. Do you see a slight irony in this?

Read again Nigel, I accused the WHO of "ridiculous paranoid claims" to justify their jobs. They "need" a pandemic for this to occur otherwise they are a useless entity. We have no pandemic, only hysteria. I accused Roche of exploiting that opportunity to sell Tamiflu. I never said both were in cahoots. Sorry, no irony.

Nigel, just for argument sake I suggest you read this as you won't hear about it in our Mass media outlets, including Stuff. It concerns the huge pharma company Baxter, not Roche on this occasion
