Billy Corgan: "H1N1 Was Created by Man"

I heard "Disarm" on the radio this morning. It was really awesome. Also, Billy Corgan thinks the swine flu was created by humans.

I would suggest however that it is possible the virus is not a naturally occurring virus. I have read reports from people who say (as doctors) that there is evidence to suggest this virus was created by man; to call it Swine Flu is then a misnomer, as it really is Swine Flu plus some other stuff stitched together. These doctors said such genetic mutation was impossible in nature.

This passage is part of a much longer piece, published on his new website, Everything From Here to There, about the roles media and government have played throughout the entire Swine Flu ordeal. He makes a handful of interesting points, along with a whole lot of high school-style conspiracy theory bullshit. And to make matters worse, he doesn't even have the decency to link to any of the "reports" he turned to for enlightenment. He does, however, link to an article about Barack Obama's daughters not receiving the swine flu vaccine, the idea, I guess, being that readers will see the "First Daughters Not Vaccinated Against H1N1" headline and be convinced of the utter hypocrisy of our government. Of course, if you actually read the article, you'll see that it clearly states, "the vaccine is not available to them based on their risk." See that, people? Maybe it's not the government or even the media that's trying to deceive you, but a washed up frontman of a 90s alt-rock band.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should probably mention that when I heard "Disarm" this morning, I was in my car, on my way to the doctor to get my seasonal flu vaccine.

Oh, and I missed this somehow, but now the Obama kids have now gotten the vaccine. Unless everyone's lying, which is what I'm sure Billy will say next.
