IIRC, this article was from Feb/March of this year. I don't have TV -- was it in the news back then?


The article is captioned (I leave the interpretation to others) "BJ News: Wednesday, February 2, 2005" and searching news.google.com for "february 2005" flu brings up a list of about a dozen links, some dated Feb 2005 and some reporting currently on events which happened in February of 2005. These links are not to TV news but to online editions of newspapers. One British paper questions our preparations, stating that 7,000 police officers had received special training by February 2005 for dealing with Bird Flu cases. Other articles related to actions taken by WHO and of reports of deaths in Southeast Asia, all in 2005.

"I also beg to differ that Kleenex, Scotch Tape, and Xerox are 'generic names.' "

I suspect he meant "used generically", which they are.


I have no suspicions of what he meant. I only know what he said. And it's wrong on that count and _many_ others.

Right on Philip...thank you for an intelligent respone. If Aspirin was so deadly, how come it has stood the test of time and is still on the shelves today? Could it be that all the world's medical researchers and doctors have failed to catch the link between flu deaths and aspirin? Somehow, I doubt it. Let's see the statistical evidence that Marshall Smith, Editor, BroJon Gazette has to backup his claim.
