WHO Director-General Margaret Chan warned the intergovernmental meeting on pandemic influenza preparedness at WHO's Geneva headquarters. "This is a virus so evasive that it can quietly and stealthily move into your country without you even realizing it."

Yeah, this thing is smelling MORE and MORE MAN-MADE all the time. Of course, the papers would tell us if.... oh, yeah.

Glaxo said yesterday that it had received orders from several governments, including Britain, France, Belgium, and Finland, looking to stockpile a pandemic vaccine against the new virus.
Chan said she would make a recommendation soon about the appropriate balance between making the two types of injections. "We are moving on two tracks to ensure some security for seasonal vaccine and at the same time kick-starting early scientific work for pandemic vaccine," she told the session.
Yup, KICK-STARTING DRUG COMPANY PROFITS!

GENEVA - Health experts are looking very closely at the spread of swine flu among people in Spain, Britain, and Japan, a WHO official said yesterday as Japan reported a one-day explosion of over 70 new cases, mostly among teenagers.
So they let it loose in Japan, too!
The swine flu outbreak is expected to dominate the World Health Organization's annual meeting, a five-day event that begins today in Geneva and involves health officials from the agency's 193 member states. Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO director general, will release experts' recommendations on the production of a swine flu vaccine sometime at the meeting. Pharmaceutical companies are ready to begin production, but many decisions have to be made first - such as how much vaccine to make, how it should be distributed and who should get it....
Anyone can have my dose.
By late yesterday, Japan's tally rose from five confirmed cases to 78, many of them high school students who had not traveled overseas.....
Oh, stink!

GENEVA - China, Britain, Japan, and other countries urged the World Health Organization yesterday to be very cautious about declaring the arrival of a swine flu pandemic, fearing that a premature announcement could cause worldwide panic and confusion. WHO bent to their wishes.
The virus so far appears to be mild....
Just preparing themselves (and you) for the live fall run.
Chan repeated her warning that the new swine flu virus continues spreading rapidly and could pose a grave threat to humanity even though the fatality rate was low....
Chan said: "This is just the calm before the storm."
That is SCARY and OMINOUS!
A pandemic announcement would likely have severe economic consequences: it could trigger expensive trade and travel restrictions like border closures, airport screenings and quarantines, as countries not yet affected struggle to keep the virus out.
Yeah, the hell with the dead people of this globalist population reduction scheme.
Governments may also fear outbreaks of mass panic, social disruption, and increased pressures on their health systems.
Yeah, I do believe that!
Under public pressure, extraordinary measures such as large-scale pig slaughters like the recent one in Egypt could be taken, whether or not they are scientifically justified.
Hey, if you globalist a**holes weren't making such an issue of this....

Get ready to slaughter those hogs, Americans.

"Senate OK's president's choice for FDA" by Associated Press | May 19, 2009
WASHINGTON - The Senate yesterday confirmed President Obama's pick to oversee food and drug safety, two areas that are vital to consumers and widely seen as in critical need of improvement.
Dr. Margaret Hamburg, a bioterrorism specialist, will be sworn in as the 21st commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration and only the second woman to hold the post in 100 years of agency history.

Her first priority will be to help direct development of a vaccine for the new swine flu....
Hamburg, 53, said she wants to restore public confidence in the agency by putting science first and running an open and accountable operation.
Good luck with others; you have lost me forever, government.

But hey, it's not all bad, right kids:
Beth Minahana, a 14-year-old Boston Latin student from Dorchester:"It's fun because we get to miss school."
So that was the load roar I heard yesterday.
The department's willingness to waive the 180-day rule is in sharp contrast to its stance last winter when a massive ice storm cut off electricity in Central Massachusetts, forcing several schools to close for more than a week....
Hey, if you are west of route 128 you are nothing!
A day after city health and school officials closed Boston Latin and warned students to avoid contact with one another to stave off the spread of the flu, student leaders pushed ahead yesterday with a rally at the State House, which drew hundreds of students from across the city who were concerned about school budget cuts.
There they go again with the PRO-TAX AGENDA PUSHING -- in a SWINE FLU article no less! How SHAMELESS, Globe!
Maya Jonas-Silver, a Latin student organizer, said organizers felt that if they had called off the rally or had not attended themselves, they would have let down students from other schools.
"We felt this was pretty important," said Jonas-Silver of the students' advocacy for more federal stimulus money and giving communities the power to raise the meals and lodging taxes to plug budget gaps....
