As the nation worst hit by bird flu Indonesia has held back its virus samples since August 2007, and is still asking for guarantees from richer nations and drug makers that poor countries will get access to affordable vaccines derived from their samples.>>>>>

Doesn't say much for the 'evolved' Western nations that they'd have to ask.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what's what.

Anyway, conspiracy or paranoia, I hope no one else has to die before they come to an agreement about these samples and vaccines. With viral infections every second counts let alone months.

If this 'bad puppy' gets going we are all in deep trouble.

I wonder if a viable vaccine could ever be developed at all or are the drug companies waiting for a devastating outbreak in an underdeveloped overpopulated nation to create more of a panic to insure a bigger profit.

"If this 'bad puppy' gets going we are all in deep trouble."

Exactly. They are not only putting their own people in danger, but the rest of the world as well, by risking the virus spread without a proper vaccine.

Who knows, maybe pharmaceutical companies are waiting for something horible to happen to make more money out of it all as you said. :S

Perhaps the vaccine for SARS was already invented before the virus was "tested"...

I wouldn't be surprised.

US dismisses bird flu claims. THE United States has rejected the Indonesian Health Minister's claims that it is using bird flu samples to produce biological weapons and World Health Organisation officials have condemned allegations of conspiring to profit from bird flu vaccines. The Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, is understood to have ordered the minister, Siti Fadilah Supari, to recall copies of her book on avian influenza, which alleges the US and the WHO are conspiring against developing countries by seizing control of bird flu samples. http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/us-dismisses-b...

Everybody knows that there is little money taken to create a vaccine. Swish swish and its done. And then manufacture of it is so simple. Doesn't take any money at all to do it properly right. So any payment for the vaccine is all profit.

All drug companies operate this way. Just plain greed for the pittance they spend on research, testing, and production after it is approved by the FDA.

Did I get it right you liberals?
