Who is to gain from the H1N1 Flu. Here in Brainerd the stores ran out of the flimsy disposable mask in all the health supply stores, pharmacies etc. The anti bacterial wipes and gels are next. If you are planning to get some of them do it when they are here. Also buy their stock it may be going up. Also the drug manufactures companies that will produce the swine flu are a good bet. The government will surly go overboard and buy enough does to protect us. We have know about this threat for years, were taught about pandemics why weren't we more prepared. Everyone is getting all excited over something that most likely will not kill as many people as the statistics for automobile accidents, etc. in this country.

None of these pills can cure swine flu
It was only a matter of time before charlatans and fakers would start selling swine flu "cures" on the Internet.
One such site features a pig's face spotted with graphic tattoos of skulls and ringed with fire and a screaming banner headline promising a "swine-flu cure-all medicine that is only $19.99 per dose or $99.99 for 6 doses!"
But as the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission remind us, there are no cures for swine flu, so don't be fooled.
Here's what Michael Chappell, acting FDA Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs, had to say:
Consumers who purchase products to treat the novel 2009 H1N1 virus that are not approved, cleared or authorized by the FDA for the treatment or prevention of influenza risk their health and the health of their families.
And FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz adds:
The last thing any consumer needs right now is to be conned by someone selling fraudulent flu remediesThe FTC will act swiftly against companies that resort to deceptive advertising.
