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´

Viral Synchronicity?
Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events which are causally unrelated occurring together in a supposedly meaningful manner. In order to count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance.
December -29-2008
Scientists state that they have isolated the genes that made the 1918 flu lethal.
The flu pandemic of 1918 - 1919 caused between 20-100 million deaths and infected one billion people, approximately half of the population of the world at that time.
It was caused by an unusually virulent and deadly Influenza A Virus strain of subtype H1N1. This was thought to have caused an overreaction of the body's immune system which explains its unusually severe nature and the concentrated age profile of its victims. The strong immune systems of young adults ravaged the body, whereas the weaker immune systems of children and middle-aged adults meant that in these age groups there were far fewer deaths.
Scientists working on tissue samples of those who died during the 1918 pandemic and found that :
"For the most part, substituting single genes from the 1918 virus onto the template of a much more benign contemporary virus yielded agents that could only replicate in the upper respiratory tract. One exception, however, included a complex of three genes that, acting in concert with another key gene, allowed the virus to efficiently colonize lung cells and make RNA polymerase, a protein necessary for the virus to reproduce."
They went on to state:
"The 1918 virus replicates in the upper respiratory tract, but also in the lungs, causing primary pneumonia among its victims."
A full ninety years later there is an outbreak of another deadly Type A, subtype N1H1 virus that causes pneumonia without necessarily affecting the upper respiratory tract and that seems to mainly affect people with strong immune systems, and that only four months after we learnt how the original virus did this.
"This is an interesting virus. It's a brand new virus, not only to humans but to the world," said Dr Frank Plummer, scientific director of the Winnipeg lab, where samples from the current outbreak are being analyzed. He went on to state that it appears to have four different elements that have never been combined before and states "It's recombined [re-assorted ?] to create something totally new. How it did that, where it did it, when it did it, I don't think we know yet.
Luckily CDC officials have said the swine flu A/H1N1 virus is susceptible to the newer antivirals oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza), but not the older ones, amantadine and rimantadine. Shame that, because the older ones are off patent and not nearly as expensive as the newer ones.
What is really worrying is that there have been escaped viruses or accidentally contaminated vaccines in the not too distant past.
Escaped virus - Some scientists say the 1977 Russian flu, the most recent global outbreak, began when a virus escaped from a laboratory.
Contaminated materials - Feb. 2009, Baxter International Inc. in Austria unintentionally contaminated materials with the bird flu virus, which were then used in laboratories in three neighboring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease.
The incident was reported to the Austrian Ministry of Health, Sigrid Rosenberger, a ministry spokeswoman said "This was infected with a bird flu virus. There were some people from the company who handled it"
The material was intended for use in laboratories, and none of the lab workers have fallen ill. The incident is raising concern over the safety of research using the H5N1 bird flu strain which haskilled more than three-fifths of the people known to have caught the virus worldwide.
The virus material was supposed to contain a seasonal flu virus and was contaminated after “human error,” said Christopher Bona, a spokesman for Baxter, in a telephone interview.
Baxter “moved very quickly to sanitize and protect employees,” Bona said. “Labs have been sanitized, potentially contaminated materials have been destroyed and employees were tested and considered not to be at risk.”
Baxter, the world’s largest maker of blood-disease treatments, is one of the companies working on a vaccine to be used in case of a flu pandemic so that should all reassure us when it comes to time to be vaccinated.
