Stalker was amused by the toy company that has produced a version of the swine flu virus you can cuddle.
so cute!
A 7 inch H1N1 is available for about 5 quid – it’s pink and fluffy and has a nose and eyes. It is described as a “great learning tool” by Giantmicrobes, which already sells huggable versions of bed bugs, MRSA and Ebola. As their website www.giantmicrobes.com puts it :“ Swine Flu H1N1 available now”.
Stalker supposes it is nice to put a “face” to the potential threat. By all accounts it may be more therapeutic than the antivirals they’re doling out! And don’t mention the vaccines – word of a dodgy vaccine that was produced in the USA in the 70s, for an outbreak of swine flu, apparently caused a rare neurological syndrome Guillame Barré Syndrome( GBS). This has put the wind up people re the modern day vaccination programme.
That the government in the UK has asked neurologists to be on the lookout for any upsurge in neurological symptoms in the vaccinated population doesn’t exactly inspire confidence either.
