Due to the very low demand for H1N1 flu vaccine - less than a
tenth of the population has gone for the 7.3 million doses
ordered - the Health Ministry has asked that the last two
million of them not be shipped to Israel.
The company will give the ministry credit for these vaccines,
the ministry said on Tuesday.
There are currently 4.6 million in the country after only
700,000 were used.
It is not known whether the purchased vaccines will be
usable for more than a year.
Now let's do a quick calculation:
4.6 million doses left;
that means that Israel PAID FOR AN EXCESS OF 4.6 million
doses .
Since the total cost of the vaccines was 450 million NIS , and
4.6/ 7.3 = 0.6301369, or 63.01369%, that means that ISRAEL
WASTED 283,561,600 NIS of taxpayer's money
( 450 million NIS x 0.6301369% = 283,561,600 NIS)
I am arriving at that figure estimating the price of each vaccine
to be equal, although I do understand that some of the
vaccine was more expensive than the other, so there is a
small leeway there.
Considering that the Ministry of Health was repeatedly warned
even BEFORE they spent all the money, NOT TO DO SO, I
think the taxpayers, who are paying this, SHOULD BE SUING
THE GOVERNMENT for a full refund of their money.
What can one do with 283,561,600 NIS?
At today's dollar/shekel rate, that comes out to US$ 75,818,609.6257
I could think of a lot of things to do with $75 million dollars:
How about: BUILDING HOMES IN YESHA,
FEEDING ALL THE HUNGRY OF ISRAEL,
BUILDING SCHOOLS,
HELPING STUDENTS WITH THEIR TUITION,
BUILDING YESHIVOT....
And the list goes on and on and on.
Or how about, simply giving a REFUND OF 10 dollars to each
man, woman and child in Israel? After all, it is OUR money you
so recklessly wasted!
One more aspect: Israel received "CREDIT" for the last two
million doses it returned to the last pharmaceutical company
(GSK, Sanofi or Novartis, I don't know which one of the three).
In Israel at least, credit is NOT cash back.
(Maybe I am wrong and Israel did receive cash back,
in which case you can disregard this item).
But if I am right, that means that even more of Israel's money
is being tied down, with that one company.
We are talking over 123 million NIS here :
( 2Mio/7.3Mio =27.39726% x450 Mio NIS = 123,287,670 NIS),
or US$ 32,964,617.65.
Almost US$ 33 million tied down with a company whose
honesty is dubious at best, considering the entire H1N1
vaccine fraud saga! What about all THAT illiquid money?
And of course, the money aspect is dwarfed by the HEALTH aspect.
From the point of view of evidence, this is the most damning article:

World Health Organisation ‘Mr Swine Flu’ Under Investigation for Gross Conflict of Interest
10 December 2009
By: F_William_Engdahl
The Market Oracle
Dec 08, 2009 – 02:08 PM
The man with the nickname “Dr Flu”, Professor Albert Osterhaus, of the
Erasmus University in Rotterdam Holland has been named by Dutch media
researchers as the person at the center of the worldwide Swine Flu H1N1
Influenza A 2009 pandemic hysteria. Not only is Osterhaus the connecting
person in an international network that has been described as the
Pharma Mafia, he is THE key advisor to WHO on influenza and is
intimately positioned to personally profit from the billions of euros in
vaccines allegedly aimed at H1N1.
Earlier this year the Second Chamber of the Netherland Parliament
undertook an investigation into alleged conflicts of interest and
financial improprieties of the well-known Dr. Osterhaus. Outside Holland
and a mention at the time in the Dutch media, the only note of the
sensational investigation into Osterhaus’ business affairs came in a
tiny note in the respected British magazine, Science.
Osterhaus’s credentials and expertise in his field were not in question.
What is according to a short report published by the journal Science,
are his links to corporate interests that stand to potentially profit
from the swine flu pandemic. Science carried the following brief note in
its October 16 2009 issue about Osterhaus:
“ For the past 6 months, one could barely switch on the
television in the Netherlands without seeing the face of famed virus
hunter Albert Osterhaus talking about the swine flu pandemic. Or so it
has seemed. Osterhaus, who runs an internationally renowned virus lab at
Erasmus Medical Center, has been Mr. Flu. But last week, his reputation
took a nosedive after it was alleged that he has been stoking pandemic
fears to promote his own business interests in vaccine development.Last
week, his reputation took a nosedive after it was alleged that he has
been stoking pandemic fears to promote his own business interests in
vaccine development. As Science went to press, the Dutch House of
Representatives had even slated an emergency debate about the matter.”1
On November 3, 2009 it appeared that Osterhaus emerged with at least the damage somewhat under control. An updated Science
blog noted, “The House of Representatives of the Netherlands today
rejected a motion asking the government to sever all ties with
virologist Albert Osterhaus of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, who
had been accused of conflicts of interest in his role as a government
adviser. But Dutch health minister Ab Klink, meanwhile, announced a
“Sunshine Act” compelling scientists to disclose their financial ties to
companies.” 2
The Minister, Ab Klink, reportedly a personal friend of Osterhaus,3subsequently
issued a statement on the ministry’s website, claiming that Osterhaus
was but one of many scientific advisers to the ministry on vaccines for
H1N1, and that the Ministry “knew” about the financial interests of
Osterhaus.4Nothing out of the ordinary, merely pursuit of science and public health so it seemed.
More careful investigation into the Osterhaus Affair suggests that the
world-renowned Dutch Virologist may be at the very center of a
multi-billion Euro pandemic fraud which has used human beings in effect
as human guinea pigs with untested vaccines and in cases now emerging
resulting in deaths or severe bodily paralysis or injury.
The ‘Bird Shit Hoax’
 Albert
Osterhaus is no small fish. He stands at the global nexus of every
major virus panic of the past two decades from the mysterious SARS
deaths in HongKong, where current WHO Director Margaret Chan got her
start in her career as a local health official. According to his
official bio at the European Commission, Osterhaus was engaged in April
2003, at the height of the panic over SARS (Severe Acquired Respiratory
Syndrome) in Hong Kong. The EU report states, “he again showed his skill
at moving fast to tackle a serious problem. Within three weeks he had
proved that the disease was caused by a newly discovered coronavirus
that resides in civet cats, other carnivorous animals or bats.” 5
Then Osterhaus moved on, this time publicizing dangers of what he
claimed was H5N1 Avian Flu. In 1997 he already began sounding the alarm
following the death in Hong Kong of a three-year-old who Osterhaus
learned had had direct contact with birds. Osterhaus went into high gear
lobbying across Holland and Europe claiming that a deadly new mutation
of avian flu had jumped to humans and that drastic measures were
required. He claimed to be the first scientist in the world to show that
H5N1 could be transferred into humans. 6
In a BBC interview in October 2005 on the danger of Avian Flu,
Osterhaus declared, “…if the virus manages indeed to, to mutate itself
in such a way that it can transmit from human to human, then we have a
completely different situation, we might be at the start of the
pandemic.” He added, “there is a real chance that this virus could be
trafficked by the birds all the way to Europe. There is a real risk, but
nobody can estimate the risk at this moment, because we haven’t done
the experiments.”7It never did manage to mutate, but he was ready to “do the experiments,” presumably for a hefty fee.
To bolster his frightening pandemic scenario, Osterhaus and his lab
assistants in Rotterdam began assiduously assembling and freezing
samples of, well, bird shit, in an attempt to build a more scientific
argument. He claimed that at certain times of the year up to 30% of all
European birds acted as carriers of the deadly avian virus, H5N1. He
also claimed that farmers working with hens and chickens were then
exposed. Osterhaus briefed journalists who dutifully noted his alarm.
Politicians were alerted. He wrote papers proposing that the far away
deaths in Asia from what he termed H5N1 were coming to Europe. He
claimed that migratory birds were carrying the deadly new disease as far
west as Rügen and Ukraine.8
Osterhaus’ Avian Flu alarm campaign really took off in 2003 when a
Dutch veterinary doctor became ill and died. Osterhaus claimed the death
was from H5N1. He convinced the Dutch government to order slaughter of
millions of chickens. Yet no other infected persons died from the
alleged H5N1. Osterhaus claimed that that was simply proof of the
effectiveness of the preemptive slaughter campaign.9
Osterhaus claimed that bird feces were the source, via air bombardment
or droppings, onto populations and birds below, of the spread of the
deadly new Asian strain of H5N1. There was only one problem with the now
voluminous frozen samples of diverse bird excrement he and his
associated had collected and frozen at his institute. There was not one
single confirmed example of H5N1 virus found in any of his samples. At a
May 2006 Congress of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE),
Osterhaus and his Erasmus colleagues were forced to admit that in
testing 100,000 samples of their assiduously saved bird feces, they had
discovered not one single case of H5N1 virus. 10
At a WHO conference in Verona in 2008 titled “Avian influenza at the
Human-Animal Interface,” in a presentation to scientific colleagues
undoubtedly less impressed by appeals to pandemic emotion than the
non-scientific public, Osterhaus admitted that “A proper risk assessment
of H5N1 as the cause of a new pandemic cannot be made with the
currently available information.” 11By then, however, his sights were already firmly on other possible pandemic triggers to focus his vaccination activities.
Swine Flu and WHO corruption
When no mass wave of human deaths from Avian Flu materialized and after
Roche, maker of Tamiflu and GlaxoSmithKline had banked billions of
dollars in profits from worldwide government stockpiling of their
dangerous and reportedly ineffective antiviral drugs, Tamiflu by Roche,
and Relenza by GlaxoSmithKline, Osterhaus and other WHO advisers turned
to other greener pastures.
By April 2009 their search seemed rewarded as a small Mexican village in
Veracruz reported a case of a small child ill with what had been
diagnosed as “Swine Flu” or H1N1. With indecent haste the propaganda
apparatus of the World Health Organization in Geneva went into gear anth
statements from the director-general Dr Margaret Chan, about a possible
danger of a global pandemic. Chan made such irresponsible statements as
declaring “a public health emergency of international concern.” 12The
further cases of outbreak at La Gloria Mexico were reported on one
medical website as, “a ‘strange’ outbreak of acute respiratory
infection, which led to bronchial pneumonia in some pediatric cases.
According to a local resident, symptoms included fever, severe cough,
and large amounts of phlegm.” 13
Notably those were symptoms which would make sense in terms of the
proximity of one of the world’s largest pig industrial feeding
concentrations at La Gloria owned by Smithfield Farms of the USA.
Residents had picketed the Smithfield Farms site in Mexico for months
complaining of severe respiratory problems from the fecal waste lagoons.
That possible cause of the diseases in La Gloria apparently did not
interest Osterhaus and his colleagues advising the WHO. The long-awaited
“pandemic” that Osterhaus had predicted ever since his involvement with
SARS in the Guandgong Province of China in 2003, was now finally at
hand.
On June 11, 2009 Margaret Chan of WHO made the declaration of a Phase 6
“Pandemic Emergency” regarding the spread of H1N1 Influenza. Curiously
in announcing she noted, “On present evidence, the overwhelming majority
of patients experience mild symptoms and make a rapid and full
recovery, often in the absence of any form of medical treatment.” She
then added, ”Worldwide, the number of deaths is small…we do not expect
to see a sudden and dramatic jump in the number of severe or fatal
infections.”
It later was learned that Chan acted, following heated debates inside
WHO, on the advice of the scientific advisory group of WHO, or SAGE, the
Strategic Advisory Group of Experts. One of the members of SAGE at the
time and today was Dr. Albert “Mr Flu” Osterhaus. Not only was Osterhaus
in a key position to advocate the panic-inducing WHO “Pandemic
emergency” declaration. He was also chairman of the leading private
European Scientific Working group on Influenza, which describes itself
as a “multidisciplinary group of key opinion leaders in influenza [that]
aims to combat the impact of epidemic and pandemic influenza.”
Osterhaus’ ESWI is the vital link as they themselves describe it
“between the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, the Robert Koch
Institute in Berlin and the University of Connecticut, USA.”
What is more significant about the ESWI is that its work is entirely
financed by the same pharma mafia companies that make billions on the
pandemic emergency as governments around the world are compelled to buy
and stockpile vaccines on declaration of a WHO Pandemic. The funders of
ESWI include H1N1 vaccine maker Novartis, Tamiflu distributor,
Hofmann-La Roche, Baxter Vaccines, MedImmune, GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi
Pasteur and others.
Not to lose the point, the world-leading virologist, official adviser on
H1N1 to the governments of the UK and Holland, Dr Albert Osterhaus,
head of the Department of Virology at the Erasmus MC of Rotterdam, also
sat on the WHO’s elite SAGE and served as chairman at the same time of
the pharma industry-sponsored ESWI which urged dramatic steps to
vaccinate the world against the grave danger of a new Pandemic they
insisted could rival the feared 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.
The Wall Street bank, JP Morgan estimated that in large part as a result
of the WHO pandemic decision, the giant pharma firms that also finance
Osterhaus’ ESWI work, stand to reap some €7.5 to €10 billion in profits.
14
A fellow member of WHO’s SAGE is Dr Frederick Hayden, of Britain’s
Wellcome Trust and reportedly a close friend of Osterhaus. Hayden also
receives money for “advisory” services from Roche and GlaxoSmithKline
among other pharma giants involved in producing products related to the
H1N1 panic.
Chairman of WHO’s SAGE is another British scientist, Prof. David
Salisbury of the UK Department of Health. He also heads the WHO H1N1
Advisory Group. Salisbury is a robust defender of the pharma industry.
He has been accused by UK health citizen health group One Click of
covering up the proven links between vaccines and an explosive rise in
infant autism as well as links between Gardasil and palsy and even
death.15
Then on September 28, 2009 the same Salisbury stated, “Professor David
Salisbury, the department of health’s director of immunisation, said:
“There is a very clear view in the scientific community that there is no
risk from the inclusion of Thiomersal.” The vaccine being used for H1N1
in Britain is primarily produced by GlaxoSmithKlilne and contains the
mercury preservative Thiomersol. Because of growing evidence that
Thiomersol in vaccines might be related to autism in children in the
United States, in 1999 the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US
Public Health Service called for it to be removed from vaccines.16
Yet another SAGE member at WHO with intimate financial ties to the
vaccine makers that benefit from SAGE’s recommendations to WHO is Dr.
Arnold Monto, a paid consultant to vaccine maker MedImmune, Glaxo and
ViroPharma.
Even more the meetings of the “independent” scientists of SAGE are
attended by “observers” who include, yes, the very vaccine producers
GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Baxter and company. In the past decade the
WHO, in order to boost funds at its disposal entered into what it calls
“public private partnerships.” Instead of receiving its funds solely
from member United Nations governments as its original purpose had been,
WHO today receives almost double its normal UN budget in the form of
grants and financial support from private industry. The industry? The
very drug and vaccine makers who benefit from decisions like the June
2009 H1N1 Pandemic emergency declaration. As the main financiers of the
WHO bureaucracy, naturally the Pharma Mafia and their friends receive
what has been called “open door red carpet treatment” in Geneva.17
In an interview with Der Spiegel magazine in Germany,
epidemiologist Dr. Tom Jefferson of the Cochrane Collaboration, an
organization of independent scientists evaluating all flu related
studies, noted the implications of the privatization of WHO and the
commercialization of health:
“…one of the extraordinary features of this influenza — and the whole
influenza saga — is that there are some people who make predictions
year after year, and they get worse and worse. None of them so far have
come about, and these people are still there making these predictions.
For example, what happened with the bird flu, which was supposed to kill
us all? Nothing. But that doesn’t stop these people from always making
their predictions. Sometimes you get the feeling that there is a whole
industry almost waiting for a pandemic to occur. SPIEGEL: Who do you mean? The World Health Organization (WHO)? Jefferson:
The WHO and public health officials, virologists and the pharmaceutical
companies. They’ve built this machine around the impending pandemic.
And there’s a lot of money involved, and influence, and careers, and
entire institutions! And all it took was one of these influenza viruses
to mutate to start the machine grinding…18
When asked if the WHO had deliberately declared the Pandemic Emergency
in order to create a huge market for H1N1 vaccines and drugs, Jefferson
replied,
“Don’t you think there’s something noteworthy about the fact that the
WHO has changed its definition of pandemic? The old definition was a
new virus, which went around quickly, for which you didn’t have
immunity, and which created a high morbidity and mortality rate. Now the
last two have been dropped, and that’s how swine flu has been
categorized as a pandemic.”19
Conveniently enough, the WHO published the new Pandemic definition in
April 2009 just in time to allow WHO, on advice of SAGE and others like
Albert “Dr Flu” Osterhaus and David Salisbury, to declare the mild cases
of flu dubbed H1N1 Influenza A to be declared Pandemic.20
In a relevant footnote, the Washington Post on December 8 in an
article on the severity, or lack of same, of the world H1N1 „pandemic“
reported that “with the second wave of H1N1 infections having crested in
the United States, leading epidemiologists are predicting that the
pandemic could end up ranking as the mildest since modern medicine began
documenting influenza outbreaks.” 21
Russian Parliamentarian and chairman of the Duma Health Committee, Igor
Barinow has called on the Russian Representative to WHO in Geneva to
order an official investigation into the growing evidence of massive
corruption of the WHO by the pharmaceutical industry. “There are grave
accusations of corruption within the WHO,” said Barinow. “An
international commission of inquiry is urgently required.” 22

It
is perhaps among the most popular slogans used by hopefuls seeking
elected office, “I will not raise taxes” and perhaps, there are some,
the naïve, who actually believe it. It was only a few short days ago when
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said “It’s against my DNA” in his
reference to questions about planned tax increases. Perhaps one can make
the argument that eliminating tax exemptions is not the same as raising
taxes.
