How many people in the world are only alive because they take prescription medication. I would guess at least 10%, and that is a lot of dead people that look "healthy," but who are most definitely vulnerable and would not have survived even 40 years ago during the last swine flu.

So all of the hepatitis C people, diabetes, asthma, cancer, heart valve, dialysis, geez, name me one thing that has not extended the lives of people around the world that was not around on this scale in 1968....let alone 1918.
