Opinions
Simpson is a firm believer in official narratives. For example in 2005 he wrote on the "Bird flu":
Think terrorism is the world's biggest threat? It's a nasty one, all right. A nightmare scenario would see nuclear capabilities] falling into terrorists' hands. But, short of the nuclear/terrorist nexus, the world's biggest threat isn't terrorism. It's flu..That's the thing about flu. It can travel fast, and it can be virulent. By the time a vaccine is produced, many people in infected areas can die....
Vaccines can be developed to inoculate people against flu strains. But they change, and vaccine manufacturers struggle to catch up. Some countries such as the U.S., Vietnam and Canada are beginning to stockpile vaccines. Would these supplies be enough? Whatever the answer, there would not be nearly enough vaccines for the 6.2 billion people in the world. Developing countries would be the most exposed, since their ability to produce or procure vaccines would be limited.
The World Health Organization is working mightily to improve international preparatory efforts (see its website). But the WHO budget is only $400-million (U.S.). Other countries, including Canada, are ramping up preparatory efforts, but, if the doomsday experts are even close to being correct, even the best-prepared countries might still be underprepared.
Governments have no choice, therefore, but to prepare for the worst, hoping that a flu pandemic never arrives.[4]
