Why won't the communists

clear the world of the flu?

China's germ warfare against humankind

Public health authorities are well aware that the strains of influenza that sweep the globe every year are a consequence of lack of proper sanitary standards in the Chinese food industry.

The influenza virus has cohabited for tens of thousands of years in ducks, and does them little harm. However, when ducks congregate with chickens and pigs, an occasional mutation in the duck's flu virus will enter the chickens or pigs raised on Chinese farms. Once that mutated virus is propagated among the pigs and chickens, the likelihood of the virus transferring to humans increases.

The problem is that in China, migratory ducks flock to the water and feed provided to chickens, which are often raised along with herds of pigs. However, proper health standards would block the ducks from intermingling. Large chicken and pig growing operations could, for example, install cheap plastic mesh over areas where ducks tend to flock. The local farmers, who may regard the ducks as a potential delicacy, need to be educated on the public health menace that stems from current practices.

The Communist Party, which runs Chinese governments, have known about this for years, but have done absolutely nothing, once again showing that political power is a far bigger consideration among party members than is human life.

It is curious that China's trading partners are equally fatalistic. Why don't governments of the world press in the United Nations to have China cease and desist from annually scourging humanity with unnecessary, and sometimes fatal, disease? Such neglect amounts to germ warfare against humanity.
