Sumerian believes that like Aids, birds flue, and other diseases are all lab
created viruses. Remember Australians created a virus that killed 100 million
rabbits in 2 months, ending a 100 years problem in Australia. And now maybe the
Americans want to create problems to South America. And as usual they woudn't
mind to have some casualties from within..

Indonesian minister says swine flu could be man-made

JAKARTA - Indonesian Heath Minister Siti Fadilah Supari said Tuesday
the deadly swine flu virus could have been man-made, as she urged calm
over its spread around the world.
The controversial minister did not elaborate but in the past she has
said Western governments could be making and spreading viruses in the
developing world to boost pharmaceutical companies' profits.
"I'm not sure whether the virus was genetically engineered but it's
a possibility," she told reporters at a press conference called to
reassure the public over the government's response to the swine flu
threat.
No cases of the disease have been reported in Indonesia, the country
worst hit by the bird flu virus which has killed about 250 people
worldwide since 2003.
Indonesian authorities have increased body temperature scanners at
airports and banned imports of live pigs and pork products, amid World
Health Organisation (WHO) warnings of a pandemic.
Supari, a cardiologist, also claimed that the H1N1 strain of swine
flu, which is believed to have killed more than 150 people in Mexico,
could not survive in tropical countries like Indonesia.
"We have to be alert at all times although swine flu in Indonesia is not a
cause for panic," she said.
"H1N1 survives in countries with four seasons. The type A H1N1 virus
hopefully won't be able to sustain itself once it enters the tropical
climate of Indonesia," she added.
The virus has been found in 11 countries including Mexico, the
United States and Spain, while several other countries from Colombia to
New Zealand are investigating suspected cases.
Supari said the health ministry had prepared 100 hospitals to handle swine flu
cases should the disease enter Indonesia.
The minister has refused since 2006 to share all but a handful of
Indonesia's bird flu virus samples with WHO researchers, saying the
system is being abused by rich countries to develop profitable vaccines
which poor countries must buy.as of 04/28/2009 3:22 PM
