How not to waste money: the 2009 H1N1 vaccine saga in Israel, and how to avoid repeating it!

B"H

• SUMMARY:

In June of 2009, the WHO declared an H1N1 pandemic, and set out to demand worldwide, massive vaccinations against the H1N1 influenza virus. Even though some countries refused to follow these directives claiming serious dangers to their populations, Israel decided to order 7.3 million doses, enough for the whole population of the country. To that effect it spent 450 million NIS. When I found out about this, alarmed by the fact that the proposed vaccines, indeed, entailed severe health dangers to the population, and considering the worldwide hype by the media and various regulatory bodies regarding the severity of the illness, I decided to write a letter to the Ministry of Health in Israel, asking them to reconsider their decision. The response was one of scorn and character assassination by various bodies, media and otherwise. When a few months after the vaccination campaign started  it was proven that the whole "pandemic" thing was a hoax orchestrated - among others - by the vaccine manufacturers to pad their dwindling cash flows, and with revelations surfacing about severe conflicts of interest, including revolving doors and collusion between the vaccine manufacturers and WHO, as well as the CDC, the FDA, and various other regulatory bodies, and following the threat of lawsuits against the WHO and other responsible authorities by the European Parliament Health Committee, the WHO quickly declared the pandemic over, but not without finding convenient reasons to continue using the dangerous vaccines worldwide. The connection between Agenda 21 of the UN and this decision, nay, and the whole episode, certainly needs to be examined.

So in February of 2010 Israel decided to cancel 2 million doses of the vaccine and, like other governments, asked to be credited. Meanwhile, 700,000 doses had been used in Israel - the debate my letter generated certainly played no small part in the refusal of most of the population to submit to this useless vaccination - so that at the end of the campaign, less than 10% of the purchased vaccines had been used. While this is certainly a public health benefit, we have to ask ourselves whether the wasted money - 283,561,000 NIS - , and the so-called "credit" ( was it a full refund, or did Israel commit itself to keep purchasing vaccines from those discredited companies?), 123,287,670 NIS, could have been put to better use considering the growing deficit that Israel keeps incurring from various sources, for instance these funds could have been used for increasing the severely deficient number of hospital beds in Israel, etc.

Now the question arises, how can we prevent such a situation from reoccurring? This year we are hearing worldwide rumblings again: the WHO has declared a massive vaccination campaign against the seasonal influenza virus, this time focusing on pregnant women and young children. In the US, the hype has reached fever pitch, and here in Israel too we are hearing progressively more frightening reports by the media, all conducive to the population abiding by the recommendation to submit to this as yet voluntary vaccine.

To be noted is that the H1N1 component of the vaccine is still present in the vaccines currently being administered, - in Israel it is Fluarix from GSK and Flumist from Medimmune, at least according to what Kupat Cholim Meuchedet is distributing -; at least the Israeli government has wised up and this time the most damaging portion of the vaccine, the adjuvant, has been removed; still, the vaccines are far from innocuous, specially in pregnant women, fetuses, and young children, yet Israel persists in following the discredited WHO guidelines, and promotes use of this ineffective, harmful and useless vaccine. In fact, it has been proven that repeated administration of the seasonal influenza vaccine PREVENTS children's and ferrets' organisms from building a solid cellular immunity response when faced with a pandemic virus; so in effect this vaccine is WEAKENING people who are taking it, making them more susceptible to a dangerous potential pandemic influenza virus such as the H5N1 virus, virulent and lethal strains of which incidentally companies in the US have just begun developing again, believe it or not, despite a moratorium established because of public outcry. So it is only a matter of time before an H5N1 pandemic hits the globe compliments of research labs, and then what will our weakened population do?

To be noted also is that an Israeli company, Biondvax, is in the late stages of developing a universal influenza vaccine that would be helpful in the situation of a pandemic. This is definitely an improvement, however we still don't know what dangerous components that vaccine will contain. We also have to ask ourselves about possible conflicts of interest, whether the government bodies and various public figures in Israel have any financial incentive in promoting it in the future ( for instance, the developer of the vaccine, Professor Ruth Arnon and her team, who deserves all credit by the way, is adviser for science to the PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL, Shimon Peres; what are Shimon Peres's financial interests in the matter? What is his influence over the Ministry of Health's decisions?)

Why not, instead of systematically weakening the immune system of our population by repeated influenza vaccines, simply allow natural immunity to develop? Why not use the many non-toxic modalities known to enhance immunity such as, for instance, vitamin D, turmeric, anti-oxidants, etc? What is the financial incentive in promoting these dangerous vaccines, and for whom? And what about the neurological burden of the already extremely heavy mandatory vaccination schedule of our population? What about long-term health and financial implications of our policy of blindly following a discredited WHO? Isn't it time we made our OWN decisions, based on what is best for our population, instead of what the UN demands of us?

Food for thought.

What is the composition of inactivated seasonal influenza vaccines?
The composition varies by product. In general, inactivated seasonal influenza vaccines
contain: whole virion, split virion or virion subunits of the three selected strains. The virus is
either propagated in fertilized chicken eggs or on a cell culture. Vaccines may include one or
more of the following excipients include: buffers, residuals of growth medium (e.g.
ovalbumin), residuals of antibiotics used on the growth medium (e.g. gentamycin, neomycin),
inactivator residuals (e.g. formaldehyde, -propriolactone), residuals of a splitting agent (e.g.
octoxynol, polysorbate), stabilizers (e.g. gelatine), adjuvant (e.g. MF59), preservative (e.g.
thiomerosal).


Legal paradise for the companies who produce the vaccines:
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2012/9789241564427_eng.pdf

Because the initial urgency of the pandemic response required an unprecedented number of doses of a new vaccine to be deployed globally in a period of only a few months, vaccine manufacturers required that all customers (primarily developed-country governments) indemnify them (or otherwise discharge them from liability) for any adverse events arising from the use of the pandemic H1N1 vaccine, except to the extent that such adverse events were caused by a failure to comply with cGMP or to meet agreed specifications.
Because of the complex legal environment, WHO provided extensive and constant support to countries in interpreting and managing the above-mentioned and other legal issues throughout the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, especially in the areas of liability, regulatory registration and the impact of changes to vaccine licensing. For example, the licences of many vaccines changed at the end of the pandemic, allowing for their use outside a pandemic period. While this was a positive development, countries required detailed information to manage this change in authorized use. In many cases, countries had to officially re-register the product and disseminate information to all levels of the vaccine-distribution network, including vaccine-administration sites, to avoid what would otherwise have become “off-label” use with undue liability.

The toxicity of methyl mercury to the developing brain was first recognized in the 1950s in Minamata, Japan, where consumption of fish with high concentrations of methyl mercury by pregnant women resulted in at least 30 cases of cerebral palsy in children; exposed women were affected minimally if at all (Harada 1968). A similar episode followed in 1972 in Iraq when the use of a methyl mercury fungicide led to poisoning in thousands of people (Bakir et al. 1973); again, infants and children were most profoundly affected (Amin-Zaki et al. 1974, 1979). The vulnerability of the developing brain to methyl mercury reflects the ability of lipophilic methyl mercury to cross the placenta and concentrate in the central nervous system (Campbell et al. 1992). Moreover, the blood–brain barrier is not fully developed until after the first year of life, and methyl mercury can cross this incomplete barrier (Rodier 1995).

Ties to financial interests in the gov?. Conflict of interest? Plans for mandatory immunization, one more? Israeli schedule already has 12 vaccines for infants and children, What will be the toxic burden? What components will  it have. The idea is better, though. Will be very strong apparently, so contra-indicated in pregnant women. Why not just let babies develop their own immunity?

Jerusalem, Nov. 4th, 2009

Dear Professor Engelhard,

A few days ago I spoke to you on the phone, and expressed my serious concerns to you regarding the decision of the Ministry of Health in Israel to administer Focetria and PandemRix, the two adjuvanted H1N1 vaccines respectively from Novartis and GSK, to the unsuspecting population of Israel.

I reminded you of the squalene and polysorbate 80 contained in these vaccines,  and about the dangers of auto-immune reactions, neurotoxicity, and infertility that these vaccines present. You responded to me that you were well aware of the dangers involved, but that you and your panel of physicians , specialists in their respective fields, had decided that benefits outweigh the risks, based on worldwide mortality statistics due to the H1N1 virus.

Professor Engelhard, please let me remind you of the following facts ( I have included one or two references for each topic, but there are many, many more, some peer- reviewed, some not. Time is of the essence and unfortunately I do not have time to include them all at present).

Main points:

1.The statistics presented by the CDC and other monitoring bodies are severely distorted: the proven number of deaths due to the actual H1N1 virus is much smaller than previously reported: most cases were of patients who died of underlying, concomitant conditions, yet were labeled as H1N1 related deaths. Furthermore, a large number of so-called H1N1 cases were never actually proven to be such, cases counted even including phone calls made to doctors by patients worried they might have the H1N1 virus.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/10/21/cbsnews_investigates/main5404829.shtml

2. H1N1 is a mild influenza virus, much milder even than regular, yearly seasonal influenza. The number of deaths is relatively small, compared to yearly influenza mortality rates.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/11/03/What-We-Have-Learned-About-the-Great-Swine-Flu-Pandemic.aspx

3. The Southern Hemisphere winter season passed without any major catastrophe. The flu season already peaked in the USA.

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/11/03/What-We-Have-Learned-About-the-Great-Swine-Flu-Pandemic.aspx

4. There IS vaccine available that does not contain either adjuvant or thimerosal. That vaccine is being used on 250,000 German soldiers.

http://www.fightbackh1n1.com/2009/10/german-soldiers-to-receive-different.html

5. Squalene is highly neurotoxic and causes severe auto-immune reactions, even deaths.

http://www.without-consent.com/media/SqualeneReferences-AnimalToxicology.pdf

6. The concentration of squalene in both Focetria and PandemRix is between half a million to a million times higher than the squalene contained in the anthrax vaccine administered to US soldiers in 1991, which was seriously implicated in the Gulf War Syndrome, and from which hundreds of thousands of soldiers suffered terribly, and many thousands died.

http://uncensored.co.nz/2009/08/26/million-times-more-squalene-in-h1n1%20-vax-than-caused-gwi/

Ongoing administration of unlisted vaccines in the US military caused severe reactions and even deaths in thousands of people. The IDF also recently participated in illegal anthrax vaccine experiments on 716 unsuspecting Israeli soldiers ; administration of toxic substances by the US and Israeli government is nothing new.

http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/summary/summary.cgi?cid=638072

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7M_TZpQiIY

7. The unnecessary H1N1 vaccination campaign of 1976 caused many cases of Guillain-Barre, some of them permanent. Just as today, people were not informed of the potential dangers involved in taking these highly toxic substances.

http://www.personalgrowthcourses.net/video/swine_flu_vaccine_2

8.Pandemrix has barely been tested on children at all, and has been banned from use in Switzerland below the age of 18, because of lack of clinical data.

http://www.physorg.com/news176099207.html

http://www.emea.europa.eu/humandocs/PDFs/EPAR/pandemrix/emea-combined-h832en.pdf

9. The only studies done with Focetria, containing the MARKETABLE PRODUCT, were on a total of 132 people.

(http://www.emea.europa.eu/influenza/vaccines/focetria/focetria.html)

10. The combination of squalene and polysorbate 80 in a buffered solution has been shown to be an excellent anti-fertility combination, in anti-fertility research performed by scientists for the W.H.O., who were assigned the job of developing anti-fertility vaccines to reduce world population. Giving these vaccines to our young population is tantamount to sterilizing them.

(Fertility Impairing Vaccine And Methods of Use' This application claims the benefit of U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/070,375, filed January 2,1998, U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/071,406, filed January 15,1998).

11. Giving these vaccines to our population  is equivalent to using them as guinea pigs for the rest of Europe, the world, and specially for pharmaceutical companies, as they have not yet been properly tested in children or adults in other countries.

See reference , article #8.

12. Because of the recombinant nature of the H1N1 antigen used in the manufacture of these vaccines, there is significant risk that the vaccine itself will lead to a much more serious pandemic, by reassorting itself with other viruses in the community.


http://clareswinney.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/obamas-h1n1-swine-flu-national-emergency-evidences-vaccine-market-building-for-mass-murder/

I understand that, in accordance with W.H.O. directives, and with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's agreement, the goal of the Ministry of Health is to inject the WHOLE POPULATION OF ISRAEL WITH THESE DEADLY VACCINES by December 31st.

I urge you to cancel the decision to use PandemRix in our children ages 3-10, and desist as well from using Focetria in the rest of our population. The orders of the Ministry of Health significantly and unnecessarily endanger our whole population; the current risk of H1N1 pandemic clearly does not warrant such a step at this time. And even if there was a real need for a vaccine, using an adjuvanted vaccine that contains thimerosal is totally unwarranted and contraindicated.

Yours sincerely,

The veil is lifting off the immunization file By Jean-Jacques Crevecoeur - link does not respond any more

...In the case of influenza H1N1, a majority of people understood that there was something fishy in the management of this so-called crisis. And the hundreds of millions of dollars or euros invested to disseminate pro-vaccine propaganda failed to convince people that they should be vaccinated. Instead, these propagandist efforts backfired. Millions of people received information that they would never have received otherwise, and now, many people have become aware that a vaccine can be dangerous! Furthermore, more and more people have realized that corruption exists within the WHO and among public health officials. In this connection it is interesting to note that no less than six countries, to my knowledge, have launched (or will start) applications for investigations into corruption in this file:

· Russia, through the voice of Igor Barinov, who even threatened to withdraw from the WHO because of the corruption that prevails (see: http://planeteattitude.ning.com/forum/topics/la-russie-lance-un-serieux ) ;

· Holland, who has launched an investigation against Albert Osterhaus, the key-expert number one to the WHO pandemic dossier who has earned hundreds of millions of euros personally with the outbreak of the pandemic alert (see: http://www.voltairenet.org/article163315.html ) ;

· Italy, who demanded an investigation for corruption (see: http://theflucase.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2451%3Aitalian-parliament-to-investigate-fraudulent-h1n1-vaccine-contracts&catid=1%3Alatest-news&Itemid=64〈=en ) ;

· France, through the voice of certain parliamentary members of the   opposition (see: http://www.tdg.ch/depeches/people/h1n1-gouvernement-francais-critique-gestion-vaccins ) ;

· The European Parliament Health Committee, presided by Dr. Wolgang Wodarg, who unanimously demanded an investigation into the corruption within the WHO (see: http://www.nbiou.com/science-et-sante/loms-est-elle-soumise-aux-industries-pharmaceutiques/ ) ;

· Poland, which, by the voice of his health minister, Ewa Kopacz and his prime minister, has refused to order or impose vaccines for its population (see: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb5o8d_ministre-de-la-sante-polonaise-sur_news ).

· Note also that Roselyne Bachelot was summoned (for the complete text see: http://www.politiquedevie.net/index.htm ) before the tribunal de grande instance de Paris (TGI) on Monday January 4, in response to a complaint of attempted poisoning (see: http://francoiseblanche.hautetfort.com/archive/2010/01/05/roselyne-bachelot-hier-au-tribunal-c-est-parti.html ). But curiously, have you heard about it on TV??? ......

WHO to Consider Whether H1N1 Pandemic Has Peaked

Robert Lowes, from Medscape Medical News

February 11, 2010 — An emergency advisory committee of the World Health Organization (WHO), meeting later this month, will consider making it official what WHO has indicated for weeks — that the H1N1 influenza pandemic, although still active in many parts of the world, is winding down.
However, at a press conference today, Keiji Fukuda, MD, MPH, the special pandemic influenza advisor to the WHO director-general, cited a recent outbreak of H1N1 infection in Senegal as proof that the pandemic has not run its full course.
"We are seeing an overall declining pattern in the Northern Hemisphere, but it's very clear the virus hasn't disappeared," said Dr. Fukuda. "It's continuing to cause disease and death in many parts of the world."
Dr. Fukuda said WHO has received its first reports of communitywide infection in Senegal, where there have been 42 mild cases of pandemic H1N1 influenza, but no deaths. "Western Africa is one part of the world where we haven't seen much activity," he said. "We may be seeing a general decline, but in some places community outbreaks can [still] be expected."
The emergency committee, formed under the International Health Regulations approved by WHO member states, will review epidemiologic data and then recommend whether WHO should classify the pandemic as having entered a postpeak, or transition, phase, said Dr. Fukuda.
The postpeak phase is part of a pandemic classification system used by WHO that immediately follows phase 6, which marks a full-blown pandemic. In a postpeak period, according to WHO's Web site, "pandemic activity appears to be decreasing; however, it is uncertain if additional waves will occur and countries will need to be prepared for a second wave." Official designation of the postpeak period will help national public health authorities plan for the future, Dr. Fukuda said.
The final stage in the WHO spectrum is the postpandemic period. Here, influenza disease activity returns to "levels normally seen for seasonal influenza."
Dr. Fukuda said he expects the emergency committee to meet during the last week of February, although an exact date has not yet been set.
H1N1 Could Be Component of Next Seasonal Flu Vaccine for Northern Hemisphere
Dr. Fukuda also announced that WHO will convene its annual meeting of experts next week to begin deliberating on which influenza virus strains should make up the 2010-2011 seasonal influenza vaccine for the Northern Hemisphere. These experts hail from national public health agencies and laboratories that make up the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network. Dr. Fukuda said that this group will likely consider including the pandemic H1N1 virus as 1 of the 3 strains normally constituting the seasonal influenza vaccine.
"I don't want to second-guess what the expert advisors will recommend," said Dr. Fukuda. "But it's fair to point out that the current pandemic virus is by far the most common virus that's been isolated around the world. It's a good bet we'll see it around for quite a while."
Each September, WHO convenes the same experts to recommend the composition of the next year's seasonal influenza vaccine for the southern hemisphere. At their meeting in September 2009, they included a strain of the pandemic H1N1 virus — specifically, an A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)-like virus — as 1 of the 3 strains for 2010. The other recommended strains were an A/Perth/16/2009 (H3N2)-like virus and a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus.
Another WHO advisory group, the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, recommended last year that nations ordering vaccines should have the option of either including a pandemic H1N1 virus in the traditional trivalent vaccine for seasonal influenza or making it a separate monovalent vaccine, with the other 2 recommended strains in a second vaccine.

"This Is a True Pandemic"

 

Dr. Fukuda continued to defend WHO against charges issued by European critics that profit-minded vaccine manufacturers swayed the agency to exaggerate the severity of the H1N1 outbreak. "Our position is very clear," he said. "This is a true pandemic."

WHO, he said, is currently assessing how WHO and other national public health agencies performed in responding to the pandemic so they can "do it better the next time." However, this investigation is not based on allegations by any particular individuals, he added.

Gov't moves to stop delivery of more swine flu vaccines

BY JUDY SEIGEL ITZKOVICH, Jerusalem Post, 09/02/2010

There are currently 4.6 m. doses in the country as only 700,000 have been  used.

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:  http://israeltruthtimes.blogspot.co.il/2009/12/mr-swine-flu-is-swine-himself-it-seems.html " World Health Organisation ‘Mr Swine Flu’ Under Investigation for Gross Conflict of Interest 10 December 2009 t 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 Endnotes: 1 Martin Enserink, In Holland, the Public Face of Flu Takes a Hit, Science, 16 October 2009: Vol. 326. no. 5951, pp. 350 – 351; DOI: 10.1126/science.326_350b. 2 Science, November 3, 2009, Roundup 11/3 The Brink Edition, accessed on ScienceMag.org. 3 Article from Dutch, De Farma maffia Deel 1 Osterhaus BV, 28 november 2009, accessed in Hetonderzoek.blogspot.com. 4 Ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport, Financiële belangen Osterhaus waren bekend Nieuwsbericht, 30 september 2009, accessed in Minvws.nl 5 European Commission, „Research“, Dr Albert Osterhaus, accessed in Ec.europa.eu 6 Ibid. 7 Jane Corbin, Interview with Dr Albert Osterhaus, BBC Panorama, 4 October, 2005. 8 Karin Steinberger, Vogelgrippe: Der Mann mit der Vogelperspektive, Seuddeutsche Zeitung, 20 October, 2005, accessed in Seuddeutsche.de. 9 Ibid. 10 Schweinegrippe—Geldgieriger Psychopath Auslöser der Pandemie?, accessed in Polskaweb.eu 11 Ab Osterhaus, External factors influencing H5N1 mutation/reassortment events with pandemic potential, OIE, 7-9 October 2008, Verona, Italy, accessed in Oie.int 12 WHO Health Advisory, April 2009, accessed in Swine-flu-vaccine.info/. 13 Biosurveillance, Swine Flu in Mexico- Timeline of Events, April 24, 2009, accessed in Biosurveillance.typepad.com. 14 Cited in Louise Voller, Kristian Villesen, Stærk lobbyisme bag WHO-beslutning om massevaccination , Information, Copenhagen, 15 November 2009 accessed in .
