The makers of "Tamiflu", Gilead Sciences, (GILD) have an economic vested interest in promoting fear! For the last eight plus years they have had a friendly administration's sustained promotion of fear of the a bird flu pandemic, large govenment contracts for purchase of their product and they have enjoyed a hefty increase in stock price over this period.

Why and how has this happened? Their executives and board of directors reads like w Who's Who of the conservative right!!! Donald Rumsfield, former CEO, George Schultz, BOD member; take a look! This is just another opportunity to make themselves wealthier.
