PRESIDENTS DRUG AGENDA
Not long ago, President Bush sought to instill
panic in this country by telling us as many as 2 million deaths in this country alone
could arise from the avian flu. President Bush then sent a letter to the Speaker of the
House declaring an "emergency" in seeking congressional approval for $7.1
billion to respond to a "threat of avian and pandemic influenza."
So the United States placed an order for 20 million doses of a worthless drug called
Tamiflu at a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion. But if you dig
further you will find that the drug was actually developed by a company called Gilead of
which Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was made the chairman in 1997. Since Rumsfeld
holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he would handsomely profit from the government's
purchase. Dr, Mercola

3. Japanese health authorities are investigating
Tamiflu, after a teenager who took it jumped 11 story's to his death at least the 18th
juvenile fatality linked to the drug in 17 months. Again, the arm of US Drug Companies has
a long reach--Japan says it will keep stockpiling Tamiflu

5. Text of a Letter from the President to the
Speaker of the House of
Representatives
Dear Mr. Speaker:
Today, I outlined a strategy to address the threat of avian and pandemic influenza. This
strategy is designed to meet three critical goals: to detect and contain outbreaks before
they spread across the world, to protect the American people by stockpiling vaccines and
antiviral drugs and accelerating the development of new vaccine technologies, and to
ensure that Federal, State, and local communities are prepared for potential domestic
outbreaks. To provide the necessary resources to immediately begin the implementation of
this strategy, I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed requests, totaling $7.1
billion, for the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Defense, Homeland
Security, the Interior, State, and Veterans Affairs, as well as for International
Assistance Programs.
I hereby designate the proposals in the amount requested herein as emergency requirements,
and I urge the Congress to act expeditiously on this request to ensure the country is
prepared for this growing danger.
The details of this request are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the
Office of Management and Budget.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH

20. Obama Gets In On the Bird Flu Bonanza
In February 2005, Obama bought about $5,000 worth of stock in AVI BioPharma, a drug
company working to develop a medicine to treat avian flu victims, according to Senate
disclosure statements cited by the New York Times. Less than two weeks later, Sen. Obama
began pushing for an increase in federal financing to fight avian flu, a move that
eventually helped lead to the Senate’s approval of a $3.8 billion appropriation to
fight the flu. George Haywood, a major investor in AVI BioPharma, and his wife have
contributed nearly $50,000 to Obama’s campaigns and his political action committee.

panicking people around the globe, but it's proving to be very good news for Defense
