Most scientists agree a flu pandemic is inevitable, BUT WHY?
It is only a matter of time before a major outbreak of potentially deadly flu, according to scientists. Could the world cope? The World Health Organization has been urging the international community for years to prepare for the next flu pandemic
Killer flu: Could the world cope? The GlaxoSmithKline drug has been available since 1999 and stops the flu virus from spreading. Tamiflu, which is manufactured by Hoffmann-La Roche, works in a similar way. Professor Oxford believes governments around the world should be stockpiling these drugs now

The Wall Street Journal profiled these ties in an article February 18 on a fundraising gathering for Kerry at the Park Avenue apartment of Blair Effron, vice-chairman of UBS Investment Bank. Among those attending were Pete Peterson, chairman of Blackstone Group and perhaps the leading advocate of austerity in US fiscal policy; Stephen Robert, former chairman of Oppenheimer Group; hedge-fund manager James Chanos; and real-estate executive and investment banker Richard Richman
