<VV> Really not the right forum

[Hugo Miller]

You're absolutely right I have an agenda - to hack my way through the 
thickets of manipulation mendacity and get at the truth. I believe the 
numbers I cited for the 1967 HK flu are accurate enough - I dont see a 
reason to falsify them (80,000 deaths in the UK). I do NOT, however, 
believe the numbers given for the present outbreak, because it seems to 
me that there is something else going on, although this isn't the right 
place to speculate on what these might be. I am, however, utterly 
convinced that we are being lied to - and I have the evidence to prove 
it. The government must be very pleased with how things are going - they 
tell Britons to go out in the sreets and bang pots & pans  every 
Thursday evening at 8 pm in support of the NHS (National Health 
Service), and the entire population does as they are bidden. Dr Goebbels 
would have loved it!
