Egyptian blogger Sandmonkey links to a news article which says that his country will be spending $450 million to conduct a nationwide campaign to vaccinate live poultry against avian influenza, otherwise known as bird flu [1]. “But don't you start spreading rumors that we might be having a Birdflu epidemic or anything.
