I was thinking something along these lines, not that the government spread it but that they could of been using it as an excuse to cause mass panic through the media and cause everyone to go and spend heaps on vaccinations and shit thus making them money. But the hype has stopped, so thats wrong.
I think YOU created swine flu, you bastard. Think I'm wrong? Prove me wrong. From now on until someone proves otherwise Nauman created swine flu and is solely responsible for every death and illness that it causes.
1st point. I agree, however the governments will lose money as they need to spend money on vaccinations 'and shit', but due to their *early* efforts in combating it, it could be a very big boost for their respective parties.
The hype has not stopped, the vaccines are due to be launched in September here in the UK, quarter of the people in my village - Chesham - either have swine flu, have had swine flu. There are a lot more cases to come. Look in the US; Baxter healthcare, nearly becoming bankrupt, suddenly have a boost of sales: For example:
http://seekingalpha.com/article/133167-three-companies-that-could-benefit-from-swine-fluhttp://www.helium.com/items/1436552-companies-benefit-swine-flu-outbreakLook at this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2009/jul/22/glaxosmithkline-swine-flu-vaccineGlaxoSmithKline PLC, are doing bad due to the recession, *bam* soon as swine flu arrives they're about to seal the deal on 3billion! And remember, if one firm gains revenue then one place must lose money, people losing money = government on the other hand they gain votes. People gaining money = Pharmaceuticals.
However, as stated in your post it is a media 'shit-frenzy'. Now that MJ has died. They have to report something, they get money from it. It was said that schools had to be closed, now 10 people in my school (of 1350) have already had swine flu and more are expected. But, still my headmaster insists that the school is not going to be closed. No schools in my county are going to be closed either. People have yet to get it.
I may have created swine flu, but there is no benefit for me. Its a big thing, gotta be more than 1 player. Its a conspiracy, the media feed everyone lies you know they are bias. They shun the fact that it is a conspiracy, but go ape-shite. The government controls them.
EDIT:
Nationwide, there are 2984 confirmed cases of swine flu
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/2741590/Canterbury-closes-swine-flu-unitIt is predicted that 10,000 a day could be getting swine flu by the end of August, it is yet to begin.
