  Comment #1 wouldn't know a "live virus biological weapon" if it jumped up and bit her in the butt.

  555, The Nation reports the figure at 1 million today, but hey, it is just numbers, right? What is a million more, a million less? What I wonder is, where have all the masks gone? A few months ago, Thais were the only wise people wearing masks in the subways. Like all news, this is also quickly forgotten...

• This is not the first time

  This is not the first time that vaccine companies have been caught distributing vaccines contaminated with deadly viruses.
  
  In 2006 it was revealed that Bayer Corporation had discovered that their injection drug, which was used by hemophiliacs, was contaminated with the HIV virus. Internal documents prove that after they positively knew that the drug was contaminated, they took it off the U.S. market only to dump it on the European, Asian and Latin American markets, knowingly exposing thousands, most of them children, to the live HIV virus. Government officials in France went to prison for allowing the drug to be distributed.
  
  The documents show that the FDA colluded with Bayer to cover-up the scandal and allowed the deadly drug to be distributed globally. No Bayer executives ever faced arrest or prosecution in the United States.

  Czech newspapers are questioning if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed to 18 countries by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic.
  
  The claim holds weight because, according to the very laboratory protocols that are routine for vaccine makers, mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible.
  
  “The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses,”
