False alarm to rake in profits!
The most parroted Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) outbreak in China in
November 2003 was publicised as the deadliest epidemic of the recent times; projected as if the next apocalypse was in the offing. Time passed by, fears subsided & the world got used to living with the hype as it ‘flu’.
In the absence of any hard evidence to prove the possibility of extinction of mankind, the realization dawned that the Chinese variant was a hoax. The virus had limited impact in remote areas & the possibility of human to human transfer of the virus was ruled out by scientists. A fact vindicated by the British Medical Journal (BMJ, October 2005), “Since 2003, most of the resulting 118 human cases have been healthy young children or adults in close contact with infected flocks, with a mortality of over 50%.”
