A year ago at this time, half world was protecting his face with a mask or by collecting them, and in any case much worried about the arrival of what appeared to be the first pandemic of the XXI century. At first the alleged plague called swine flu, and after influenza virus or H1N1. His name became well from concrete to abstract, free access to the restricted, or, if preferred, to be affordable to the understanding of either (the most and the least know what a pig), to enter understanding an area reserved for scientific and / or expert.

This displacement of the name of the ordinary to the exclusive should have alerted us from the beginning, we should have seen as a sure sign that the whole thing was heading for a land-encoded, encrypted, traveling, as it were, into the darkness. But there was no warning or if there is not answered. What governments instead blindly followed in unison was the advice of experts from WHO, and bought huge doses of antivirals and vaccines, the vast majority of which have not been used because there was no need, nor to be used, since the same organization as stated in June 2009, the beginning of the pandemic has just decreed an end a few days ago.
The flu will not be as down in history as the first pandemic of the XXI century, but I think their management by the WHO has sufficient merit to be integrated into contemporary literary history, in the section, for example, science fiction or the Gothic novel and / or vampires. Bleeding can be classified as real spending the "episode" has meant for the public purse, also in crisis, when the pharmacist is real savings and copayment squeezing the near horizon. And indeed, in the novel. Recently it has been known that some of the scientists who reported the pandemic and advised the purchase of antivirals and vaccines multimillion had in the past, maintained ties with and received payments from pharmaceutical companies producing those products, "detail" that WHO had not seen fit to make public.
I do not know what the European health authorities plan to do with that "stuff" now without a goal, but without further accentuate destroy undoubtedly feel fiasco and / or fraud that the issue has caused. I propose that those millions of vials of vaccine are given a new meaning, which is a cultural legacy, responsible for artists of different countries along with them, works and facilities to be placed after squares and museums . Thing to keep vaccine doses to reach the critical eye, as a true health alert (I mean the health of citizens) as a true antidote against forgetting and repetition.
