Baxter, the US pharmaceutical giant, reached at least seven huge settlements over the past 12 months, some of them for millions of dollars. The company had been accused of fraud amid allegations that it had overpriced medicines by as much as 1,300%.

Baxter, isn't this the company that has a major lab located within 50 miles of where the swine flu first broke out?

The most telling point is that Baxter filed for a patent on H1N1 on August 28, 2008, almost a year before anyone ever heard of it. (end of April, May 2009)

You draw your own conclusions.
