Rumsfeld's got Tamiflu

For the conspiracy theorists and anti-bigpharma folks out there, this article is from
Bob Parks—a great skeptic and theoretical physicist.

3. SHAMIFLU: THE BUSH WHITE HOUSE AND THE WAR AGAINST BIRD FLU. President Bush went to Congress early this month to ask for $7Bto prepare the nation for a possible outbreak of Asian bird flu http://bobpark.physics.umd.edu/WN05/wn110405.html .  The federalgovernment has since become the world's biggest customer forTamiflu, produced by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Roche.  Thatwas good news for Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, who doesn't havebird flu.  He doesn't have stock in Roche either, but he doeshave millions of dollars worth of stock in a company named GileadSciences, having been Gilead's Chairman prior to joining the Bushadministration.  Low-profile Gilead Sciences owns the rights toTamiflu, which it outsources to Roche.  There is little evidencethat the antiviral drug would help much in a flu pandemic.

I don’t know where he gets his info from and I have no idea whether that last claim is true.
