Swine flu uncovered! Greedy pigs in the pharmaceuticals industry to profit!

Have you ever considered this about the Swine Flu. It was just a year ago since we had a potential worry about the Bird flu pandemic. A great fuss was made, the media was all over it, telling us scary stories about the virus, jumping from birds to humans. Also telling us that potential of killing us, so a drug or vaccine needed to be created. Pharmaceutical companies where our saviour and started to create “Tamiflu” drug to help combat the virus and give us peace of mind to you and your family! But WHO (World Health Organisation) managed to contain the outbreak. And prevented the deadly Bird Flu virus from jumping from birds to humans. A lot of birds where slaughtered in the process of defeating the potential pandemic.
Great news, outbreak contained human existence not under threat is good news for the world.
Well…… apart from the big pharmaceutical companies which created millions of dollars/pounds worth of drug Tamiflu on the hopes of an outbreak. What should the pharmaceutical companies do? After all they have spent millions of dollars/pounds worth of the stockpiled Tamiflu drug that doesn’t get used. They make a huge loss and lose out on massive profit! Thats what you thought, (here comes the conspiracy bit!).
This is my theory anyway for what the big pharmaceutical companies did next! Instead of wasting millions dollars/pounds of investment! Why don’t they invent or create a pandemic whereby their product Tamiflu can be used. What if the big Pharmaceutical giants invented or spread the Swine Flu virus, so that their product Tamiflu could be used? Now that’s an idea! No stockpiles, governments bought in masses to prevent an epidemic and create a millions of dollars/pounds worth of trade!
What a win/win situation! Now wouldn’t the shareholders be happy with that. Especially in a time of uncertainty in the Stock Market and Recession. The Pharmaceutical giants just wait a year till the whole media and fuss on the Bird Flu dies down. And introduce the Swine Flu……….
Now that is some food for thought! Just don’t make it a Bacon Sandwich for me, especially if the porks from Mexico!
