The problem is that the powers that be would use such weapons when it suited their purposes, but they would also create an illusory panic of a possible global pandemic if it also suited their agenda.
Not to mention the very considerable additional profit generated from world sales of completely unnecessary drugs and equipment as we saw from Bird flu and the leap in Tamiflu vaccines
So, I'm sitting here looking at the growing panic around the world noting that there have been no deaths of the Pig flu outside of Mexico - albeit two "possible" deaths in California, plus a total of 152 deaths in Mexico itself.
Should we truly be alarmed? Not really.
In an ordinary flu season, 35,000 deaths occur in the US alone (see: http://www.huliq.com/3257/80297/us-shoul...deaths-cdc )
In the Uk in the early 1990's seasonal flu deaths totaled around 22,000. By 2004/5 this number had been reduced to the low 2000's due to the increased vaccination programme in the UK (see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4358364.stm ).
In the last outbreak of "scare flu", sales of Tamiflu vaccine skyrocketed from $150 million to $2.2 billion. This time around all the big pharma companies stock market prices have leapt (see: http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/money/arti...-FTSE.html ).

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
