[The Becker-Posner Blog] The Becker-Posner Blog: Comment on Avian Flu--BECKER: Companies are reluctant to invest in developing vaccines or other protections against the Avian and other types of flu not only because of their legitimate fear of excessive litigation by those person who claim to have been harmed by the vaccine. In addition, and more important in combating pandemics, they will be forced during a pandemic to allow the production of generics and other much cheaper substitutes for effective drugs they develop, despite any intellectual property rights they are supposed to have.

[Influenza Gripe Aviar Chile] Drowning On Your Own Blood Recreating The 1918 Bi”¦ : Influenza ...: Dr Ronald Cutler, an infectious diseases researcher at the University of East London, said: "Knowing how that over stimulation takes place could lead to the development of new methods to treat these diseases so we are better prepared for any future pandemic."

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: Perceptions of Risk: But, perhaps we said it was "not a real danger" or one of those "things that hardly matter." Maybe we thought that because seasonal flu kills more Minnesotans that collapsing bridges, we should only be concerned about getting flu shots to people and not worry about the bridges. We should worry about both, and take appropriate action on both.

[Disillusioned Words] » Would Creating Human-Animal Hybrids Be Immoral And Unethical ...: I’m less concerned about the scientists in the secret compound, likely receiving funding through shadowy corporations bent on destruction, than I am about the microchip I believe the CIA has implanted in my brain. I can’t prove that they did, but I am certain that it is there.

[O'Reilly Radar - Insight, analysis, and research about emerging technologies.] ETech Preview: Creating Biological Legos - O'Reilly Radar: How do we know that the next time around when we have an outbreak of Avian flu, or whatnot, how do we know that the traditional "academic" labs and research institutes around the world are going to be prepared to respond? Maybe we can develop a wider network of people who can work towards engineering biological systems for good.

[Stickyrice] Egg Banged in Bread: In fact, throughout this bird flu scare, I haven't baulked at a chicken or egg dish once. Without wanting to sound flippant or conceited, it seems that the western media are succeeding in scaring their own .

[ScienceBlogs Channel : Medicine & Health] Effect Measure : Pandemic influenza subtypes: end of the year musings: If the first wave was typed H1N1 then the reasonable guess was it mutated into a more virulent strain in the second wave. However, if it wasn't typed or if it was typed as some thing other than the H1N1 that we know today, then it would indicate the possibility of the second wave strain being a reassortant with the added virulence.

[Schneier on Security] Schneier on Security: U.S. Customs Opening International Mail: But, more broadly, circumstantial evidence in a number of instances and over a period of time too extensive to be ignored convinces me that either the Customs Service, or some other foederal agency, exercises this power for political purposes against people on enemies lists, or expressions of political opinion against the ruling power, or, to be blunt, the current dictatorship in the United States. The activities which would probably be of the Customs Service (though perhaps they are exercised, directly or otherwise, by that secret-police agency, the FBI) have been very difficult to understand if they are other than supporting that dictatorship and conducting a witch-hunt of and oppressing its enemies real or perceived.

[ScienceBlogs Select] Effect Measure : Doubts about anti-oxidant supplements: I agree that there is, but I respect the Life Extension Foundation, and trust the quality of the particular products they distribute, and on their general recommendations I do take what the FDA and/or many doctors would categorize as megadoses not only of antioxidants but other categories of supplements as well (although they also recommend that people only take supplements under a physician's guidance - the problem is finding a local one who is aware of their work). I don't know that this is a wise course of action - it's simply my best guess based on the arguments I have seen.

[Truthdig: Drilling Beneath the Headlines] Truthdig - Robert Scheer: Gaping Holes in the 9/11 Narrative: This matrix is designed, to be activated by a 9/11-style false flag state-terror attack, against a major urban centre in the US, and/or abroad, possibly using nuclear, bioweapons, including the Avian Flu, or advanced exotic weapons, such as ‘directed energy weapons’.”....

[Fanatical Apathy] Fanatical Apathy · Domestic Spying: I Solve Everything: These are areas we might actually agree on as I am so far right, I sometimes agree w/ you lefties. Sadly, it’s usually only when a repug is POTUS.

[The Stupidest Man on Earth] Afghanistan: Why Europe Must Stay « The Stupidest Man on Earth: Do you seriously advocate a policy whereby Afghanistan is left to its own devices, with no international aid, military or otherwise (for surely there isn’t one without the other), and expect it to have no consequences whatsoever to the rest of the world?”
