Jeremy’s Sametime Status Proudly Presents: Conspiracy Theory Week! Donald Rumsfeld profited from Bird Flu at the expense of innocent taxpayers


Don Rumsfeld owns somewhere between 5 and 25 Million dollars worth of stock in a company called Gilead Sciences, Inc., a company for which he once served as chairman. Why is this important, you might ask? Because this company owns the patent on a drug commonly known as "Tamiflu" which has been touted to decrease the severity of an influenza infection and has been claimed as a potential cure for Bird Flu.


So during the last few years, whenever news of a Bird Flu outbreak happened, people rushed to the store to pick up scores of Tamiflu as a first defense against the upcoming global pandemic.


And every time one of those doses flew off the shelf, a Bush cronie pocketed more money. Who was responsible for most of the (albeit justified) fear and panic and making sure that everybody knew about every single outbreak? That's right...the government, headed by Mr's Bush and Rumsfeld.


It's quite plain to see that the government doesn't really have a vested interest in the inevitable Bird Flu pandemic because everyone will die. However, making sure that there is a panicked shopping frenzy because of an out-of-proportion news report about a small potential outbreak really is in their best interests. Or at least in the best interests of their wallets.


That's far from the only Bird Flu conspiracy out there, too.


Oh yeah...The government of China had long-ago suspended research on a cure for Avian Influenza. We can only assume it's because they already found the cure and are holding it hostage to profit from the rest of the world. Or else, they're trying to weaponize Bird Flu and want to make sure their people are safe.


Also, Doctors in Poland are trying to exterminate homeless people by giving them the Bird Flu Virus. They duped people into participating in a drug trial for what they described as a "flu vaccine" without telling the test subjects that it was an unapproved H5N1 drug.


The Indonesian health minister has accused the US government of trying to weaponize Bird Flu as well.


It's a dangerous world we live in, folks. Make sure you keep your eyes and ears open because you never know what THEY are trying to do to you. Jeremy and I, in association with Miracle Posting, Inc. would like to thank you for reading Conspiracy Theory Week and we'll see you on monday.
