This has to be God's work, right?
Why would Bush and the Republicans develop a plan that goes against God's wishes???
Many have said the Hurricanes down here was a way God used to cleanse the sin and decadence out.
Well all the recent population control hasn't been enough so get ready for 2 million Americans to be killed:
10-8-2005 U.S. Developing Plan for Flu Pandemic
WASHINGTON - A super-flu could kill up to 1.9 million Americans, according to a draft of the government's plan to fight a worldwide epidemic.
Officials are rewriting that plan to designate not just who cares for the sick but who will keep the country running amid the chaos, said an influenza specialist who is advising the government on those decisions.
"How do you provide food, water ... basic security for the population?" asked Michael Osterholm of the University of Minnesota, a government adviser who has a copy of the draft plan and described it for The Associated Press.
"This is a much more comprehensive view than has previously been detailed," he said in an interview Saturday.
The Bush administration has spent the last year updating its plan for how to fight the next flu pandemic. While it is impossible to say when one will strike, the fear is that the bird flu in Asia could trigger one if it mutates to start spreading easily among people.
If the next pandemic resembles the birdlike 1918 Spanish flu, as many as 1.9 million could die, Osterholm said. Millions more would be ill, overwhelming hospitals.
The government has on hand enough of the anti-flu drug Tamiflu to treat 4.3 million people. Manufacturing of $100 million worth of a bird flu vaccine just began.
Also being considered is the possibility that Tamiflu will not be powerful enough to treat someone already sick, but could protect against illness if given beforehand.
So who would get the 4.3 million doses?
Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt recently met with Cabinet secretaries to get other federal agencies to determine their role in stemming rioting at vaccine clinics; when to close schools; how to keep gasoline, electricity, food and water supplies running; and how to manage the economic fallout.
========================================
I haven't been a loyal Republican so I know I won't be getting a vaccine shot.
Just another attempt at fear mongering.....with no reputable links to back up the supposed hypothesis.
