Basically THC is a wonder drug when it comes to restoring the appetite and reducing the nausea of many patients on chemo as well as reducing the effects of some glaucomas, and no duh should at least be Schedule II for medical purposes, but for the flu it just makes whatever symptoms you have (maybe) easier to cope with cause you're stoned. Saying it helps with Swine Flu proper is despicable and opportunist. Thus, fuck these guys.
Disclaimer: I may be 100% wrong, but from the studies and such I've read, this is my conclusion.

so the veracruz operation is owned by smithfield farms. i remember rolling stone had an article a few years ago about them. maybe not all that shocking now, esp to people with an awareness of how the mega-farms operate, but i remember it talking about pink pools of toxic pigshit enough to fill yankee stadium five times annually and all sorts of other nasty and irresponsible stuff.

speculating about how 'old' swine flu is sorta useless unless there's a thread tying it to the current cases. the pandemic of 1918 was H1N1, and avian flu has been reported for basically ever, long before the most recent scare. ffs, ~all~ flus are 'avian' flus, in that birds are the natural reservoir of the virus

Not that this is any reason to be less concerned, but even beyond medicine, back in 1918 folks barely knew to wash their hands to prevent the spread of illness.
