The American Center For Disease Control and Prevention Museum in Atlanta is selling a stuffed swine flu virus. Created by GIANTmicrobes the H1N1 virus pink toy is, according to the company, a great learning tool.
The Food and Farming Canada blog is not amused with the plush toy:
There’s always someone looking to make a buck off someone else’s misfortune. But in this case, I didn’t think it would be the US Center for Disease Control (CDC).
One of the agencies at the head of the global response to H1N1 influenza, the CDC is reported to be selling a toy version of the microbe in the gift shop of its headquarters in Atlanta.
North American pig farmers are making every effort to distance themselves from the association with swine flu virus.
