Sick Science

Hot on the heels of ´Climate Gate´ which has finally made the public aware that scientists can and do lie, comes an investigation by the European Union, starting in January 2010, into the sickening lies told by scientists regarding the H1N1 virus.

Many of us had been watching with growing concern the sudden changing of the definition of what constitutes a Pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO), and were aware that if the WHO declared a pandemic then national governments would have to start pandemic planning, with as a final result possibly a state of ´medical martial law´, with forced immunizations and people who refused immunization being forced into quarantine situations.

Many of us have harboured suspicions as to the genesis of this virus from the moment that first news reports about events in Mexico started coming in, and since then many scientists and virologists have claimed that the virus is not a naturally occurring one and was either released or escaped from a medical/military research facility. The idea of the virus being released on purpose is such a can of worms I do not want to go into that in this article, so for now we shall assume it was an accidental escape.

By now, major alarm bells were ringing for most of us who were following events closely.

When I was a child in school, I was told that for centuries the Church had held back scientific research because of its vested interest in preserving the ideas of a geocentric universe and other myths that the Church did not want to be challenged. It seemed to me then that science was the Hero, scientists looked for truth and were above reproach and superstition.

Yes it was scientists who misinformed the WHO about the potency of the H1N1 virus (which is in fact significantly weaker than the ordinary seasonal flu virus) and on the basis of this the WHO changed its definition of what a pandemic is, with all the consequences outlined above.

But it is not all bad news. Big Pharma was rubbing its grubby hands, preparing to make a fortune out of totally unnecessary vaccines, that could not be tested in time, that have proven to have harmful side-effects and even have caused death in previously healthy people. Shareholders in Big Pharma (in particular Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Roche) could expect a massive increase in share prices as their favourite pharmaceutical companies prepared to make a killing (in some cases unfortunately literally) with their unnecessary dangerous vaccines.

We followed all this in absolute horror, wondering if we were seeing things that were not really there, telling all our friends and loved ones not to accept vaccination under any circumstances and if necessary to face jail rather than be vaccinated. Now luckily however, it seems we are no longer alone in our suspicions that some scientists have been ´bought´to falsify results of their research into H1N1, on the basis of which WHO has changed its definition of what constitutes a pandemic, as a consequence of which Big Pharma could start its gleeful preparation of vaccines.

The European Parliament will start an investigation in January 2010. The Parliamentary inquiry will look into the issue of the ´falsified pandemic´ that was declared by WHO in June 2009 on the advice of its group of academic experts, SAGE, many of whose members have been documented to have intense financial ties to the same pharmaceutical giants such as GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, who benefit from the production of drugs and untested H1N1 vaccines. They will investigate the influence of the pharma industry in creation of a worldwide campaign against the so-called H5N1 “Avian Flu” and H1N1 Swine Flu. The inquiry will be given “urgent” priority in the general assembly of the parliament.

The Chairman of the European Parliament Health Committee (Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a medical doctor, specialist in lung diseases and in environmental diseases) considers the current ´pandemic´swine flu campaign of the WHO to be one of the ´greatest medicine scandals of the century´.

The text of the resolution just passed by a sufficient number in the Council of Europe Parliament says among other things,´In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines.

The "bird-flu"-campaign (2005/06) combined with the "swine-flu"-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility and accountability of important international health-agencies´

WHO Fears Pandemic Of Swine Fever

The World Health Organization is on High Alert, following an outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico and two soutern States of the United States of America. It is feared the disease may reach pandemic proportions.

For a disease to qualify as being of 'pandemic proportions' three conditions have to be met. The disease must be new to a population, the disease must be able to infect humans and cause serious disease and the agent must be able to spread easily and sustainably amongst humans. Furthermore, the disease must be widespread, affecting a whole continent or several continents.

Originally swine flu only affected pigs, and though it was economically disastrous for those involved in the rearing and breeding of pigs, essentially when the herd could be isolated and slaughtered and the infection was under control there were no repercusions for the world at large. People did die from the disease, but needed to have direct contact with a diseased pig.

Swine fever as such is nothing new, and there have been repeated outbreaks of it worldwide over the last two centuries. What makes this particular outbreak worrying are two new features of the disease.

The first feature is that it appears to be healthy young adults who are the main victims of this disease, whereas most flu epidemics cause more deaths amongst the very old and the very young. The second, and very worrying trait is that the eight people who have so far been diagnosed as having this strain in the US, have had no contact with pigs at all - i.e. the transmission can have only been from person to person, thereby fulfilling the third condition that must be met for a disease to be of potentially pandemic proportions.

The main problem facing the WHO and the world at large is that as people now travel easily, the virus will be able to spread rapidly to other parts of the world. Mexico is a very popular tourist destination and in the Netherlands they are already asking for all returning travellers from Mexico to report themselves and attend for medical checks.

Authorities in the capital Mexico City have responded with a sweeping shutdown of public places and events, urging people to stay home if they feel sick and to avoid shaking hands or kissing people on the cheeks. Football fixtures have also been affected, matches will be played without spectators to limit the risk of transmission of the virus.

Not all pandemics are lethal, and it is far from clear whether the current swine flu infecting people could be the beginnings of a global outbreak. However, the World Health Organization is worried enough that it has alerted an expert panel that can recommend whether to raise the alert level for a global pandemic.

Apparently we are 'overdue' for a flu pandemic and several times warnings have been sounded that there is about to be a new pandemic. No-one at this stage knows whether this will indeed become a pandemic, but if it does, there is a grave problem with the preparation of the US for dealing with the situation.

Much of North America's pandemic planning is premised on the assumption a killer virus would emerge in Asia, where all previous pandemic flu viruses have surfaced, and wouldn't arrive there for at least three months. That would allow time to begin preparing a vaccine and detailed plans to inoculate doctors, nurses, police officers, air-traffic controllers, other essential personnel and high-risk groups.

But if Mexico proves to be ground-zero, that hoped-for head-start could be lost.

It is an ill wind that blows no good however, and shares in leading Pharmaceutical Companies have soared as a consequence of the news.
