1. What do you mean by "oddities"?
Your page doesn't look like a collection of "flu oddities", it looks like a general collection of news items related to flu pandemic from mainly good sources with comments added by you which are, if I may say, occasionaly off the "scientific" mark.

2. Oh, no curiosity regarding the Canadian article that bird flu can
be used as bio-weapon (by... Gee, I wonder who would do that?)

3. There's no shortage of Bio-weapons.
We could spend 30 days compiling a list of substances with bio-weapon potential, and it would remain an incomplete list. Bio-weapons don't need to be discovered, so much as they need to be prepared for. So no, I'm not curious about the singling out of one 'substance' as a bio-weapon. If you see activity in the science field devoted to understanding more about viruses, it's a good thing.

To lay it on the table, the subtext of your 'oddities' page is that they are figuring out a way to kill everyone else on earth but themselves, right? Only those with the antidote will survive?
Your implications are conjoined with the links on your page, but they get no support from them.

I appreciate that you're a diligent skeptic of Mother Media, Lori; I just think your page is a touch sensationalistic. Scientifically speaking. :)
