I also think you're on to something when you talk about a virus and cure at the same time - perhaps this whole swine flu thing will be what gives that horrible idea to somebody that has the authority to order something like this out of monetary greed after seeing how people do freak out, and how much money there is to be made. And when a vaccine is fast-tracked with minimal testing and turns out dangerous, they then will have to make a cure for that, darn - more money. You know this will be the case, because even a very helpful drug is sold for premium money and patented for a while, making a generic, cheaper version that could help those who don't have the means to buy the full-priced version illegal to produce until the patent expires. They're already putting money before well-being. It's a sad state of affairs, however, when you can't trust those who legislate this sort of thing, and even worse when you can't trust those who have at some point taken an oath to protect life at all costs - I suppose "costs" doesn't refer to anything monetary, though. I'm not referring to doctors and medical staff, though - I honestly believe most medical staff are in that line of work for the right reasons - it's just the suits that control everything else who are the bastards that don't care who suffers. Good thoughts, Chris. Thanks.
