• Adviezen van de Apotheek Mexicaanse griep Mexicaanse griep is genoemd naar het land waar de uitbraak is begonnen. De officiele naam is Nieuwe Influenza A (H1N1). Het wordt veroorzaakt door een nieuw griepvirus. Het nieuwe virus is anders dan het menselijke griepvirus. Het bevat delen van het varkensgriepvirus, maar ook van het vogelgriepvirus en het menselijk griepvirus. Mexicaanse griep is niet van varkens afkomstig, maar verspreidt zich van mens op mens. Verspreiding gebeurt door praten, hoesten, niezen, handen of voorwerpen, zoals een deurknop. De meeste patiënten die met Mexicaanse griep zijn geïnfecteerd, worden vanzelf weer beter, zoals bij elke gewone griep. Het heeft geen nut oseltamivir preventief te gebruiken. Alleen bij besmetting met Mexicaanse griep kan het zin hebben een behandeling met oseltamivir te starten. Het heeft geen zin om oseltamivir uit voorzorg in huis te nemen. De voorraad die de Nederlandse overheid heeft aangeschaft, wordt gebruikt om het ontstaan van een nieuw griepvirus in de kiem te smoren en om - in het geval van een wereldwijde griepepidemie - zieken te behandelen. De voorraad van de overheid is voldoende. Bij onnodig gebruik bestaat de kans dat het middel minder goed zal werken of dat het virus zelf resistent (ongevoelig) wordt voor oseltamivir.
• Griepalarm moet angst zaaien PARIJS - De Mexicaanse griep is niet gevaarlijk. En de wereldwijde mobilisatie tegen de pandemie dient geen ander doel dan het zaaien van angst. Althans, als we de Franse professor Bernard Debré moeten geloven. Foto: AFP Please Wait ... Debré doet zijn uitspraken in een interview met de Franse zondagkrant Journal du Dimanche. 'De griep is waarschijnlijk zelfs minder gevaarlijk dan de normale griep', zegt Debré, die in Frankrijk een bekende uroloog is en afgevaardigde voor de UMP-partij van Sarkozy. 'De zieken, bij wie men overigens niet eens nagaat of zij H1N1 hebben, wordt inmiddels gevraagd paracetamol te slikken'. Debré legt de schuld bij de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie WHO. 'Overheden hadden geen andere keus dan dan drastisch op te treden, nadat de WHO met dagelijkse berichtgeving en talloze persconferenties zorgde voor een paniekgolf.'
• Protest Franse doktoren Franse doktoren en farmaceuten hebben er niet lang over gedaan om de franse minister van gezondheid Rosalyne Bachelot te vertellen, dat ze er helemaal tegen zijn dat zij een , 19 pagina’s groot geheim plan voor gedwongen vaccinatie vanaf 28 september wil doorvoeren, om de hele bevolking te vaccineren met nominale ingrediënten , en hoogst waarschijnlijk ook met een microchip, ook door het Baxter bedrijf , wat recentelijk word onderzocht door de politie voor het opzettelijk proberen een pandemie te starten in Australië in februari
• Wat kan de burger doen? Mexicaanse griep De Mexicaanse griep verloopt in Nederland zo mild dat de autoriteiten hun beleid hebben aangepast. Alleen van bepaalde risicogroepen zal nog worden nagegaan of zij de ziekte hebben. De burger kan maatregelen nemen om de kans op de aandoening te verkleinen en verspreiding tegen te gaan. Dat blijft gewenst, want tegen Mexicaanse griep heeft nog niemand weerstand en er is nog geen vaccin voor. Bovendien kan het virus in Europa een gevaarlijker vorm aannemen.

• UK Plans for Massgraves Fear, Intimidation & Media Disinformation: U.K Government is Planning Mass Graves in Case of H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic An official UK government report --quoted extensively in Britain's tabloid media-- is warning the British public that there will be countless deaths in the case of a swine flu pandemic. According to the WHO, a Worlwide public health emergency situation will take place in the Fall. A high death toll is predicted without corroborating evidence. The official report confirms government plans to set up mass graves for the victims of the swine flu pandemic: 'Plans for mass graves have been drawn up to cope with a second wave of swine flu this Autumn. The chilling proposals are spelled out in a Home Office document discussed at a meeting of Whitehall officials and council leaders last month. It warns emergency plans may be needed in areas where there are not enough graves to cope. The 59-page document talks about using 'a grave that is for a number of unrelated persons, excavated mechanically in advance and designed for efficient preparation and use'. (The Sun, Augsut 19, 2009) The mass graves, according to the report, 'are being planned to deal with the rising death toll from swine flu if the pandemic escalates': 'The grim revelation will see the mass burial sites dug in advance to cope with any potential crisis. The Government is planning to create a series of communal graves to cope with the second outbreak expected in the autumn and through the winter. A Home Office document published earlier this year sets out plans for how local councils should deal with a high death toll – estimates of the number of deaths range from 55,000 to as high as 750,000 from the H1N1 killer virus – including setting up temporary mortuaries. So far, 44 people in England have been confirmed as dying after contracting swine flu and another five have died in Scotland. The document says that while most cemeteries have sufficient burial capacity for a number of years, this could be put to the test at the peak of a pandemic. (Daily Express, August 19, 2009) The chilling proposals contained in the government report serve to intimidate the British public and create an atmosphere of panic. A public health crisis is being planned in a diabolical fashion. . The report suggests unequivocally that there will be countless deaths resulting from the level 6 WHO pandemic, which require the development of mass graves: Within weeks of a full-blown pandemic emerging, the number of burials could more than double. Inner city areas “may experience a shortage of grave space”, the report stated. Freight containers and “inflatable” storage units may be needed to provide extra mortuary space. But it stated that “refrigerated vehicles and trailers should not be used”. Other contingency plans being suggested were the need for cemeteries and crematoriums to work seven days a week and to hire extra staff to cope with demand. There may also be a need for more “basic and shorter services at the chapel” or for “memorial services” to be held at a person’s home instead. Retired doctors could be called back to work to issue death certificates so GPs can focus on patients, while NHS Blood and Transplant has appealed to the public to give blood to ensure banks were well stocked. A Home Office spokeswoman said: “This is prudent, precautionary planning that has been taking place over a number of years, with the health service, other essential services and local authorities. It is important to stress that these are possible scenarios, not certainties, so that our stakeholders can plan for the worst and be prepared to deal with the outbreak effectively.” (Ibid) These assertions are totally fabricated. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support these claims. Realities are turned upside down. The British government is deliberately misleading the British public. With some exceptions, the British media bears a heavy burden of responsibility in failing to analyse these 'authoritative' statements emanating from Her Majesty's Government. The WHO has not provided the evidence, nor has the British government. There is ample evidence, documented in numerous reports, that the WHO's level 6 pandemic alert is based on fabricated evidence and a manipulation of the figures on mortality and morbidity resulting from the N1H1 swine flu. The data initially used to justify the WHO's Worldwide level 5 alert in April 2009 was extremely scanty. The WHO asserted without evidence that a 'global outbreak of the disease is imminent'. It distorted Mexico's mortality data pertaining to the swine flu pandemic. According to the WHO Director General Dr. Margaret Chan in her official April 29 statement: 'So far, 176 people have been killed in Mexico'. From what? Where does she get these numbers? 159 died from influenza out of which only seven deaths, corroborated by lab analysis, resulted from the H1N1 swine flu strain, according to the Mexican Ministry of Health. The swine flu has the same symptoms as seasonal influenza: fever, cough and sore throat. What is happening is that the widespread incidence of the common flu is being used to generate the data pertaining to the H1N1 swine flu. And all of sudden, the British authorities are predicting widespread mortality resulting from an influenza related ailment. What is the evidence. Big Pharma is behind the official reports and the media disinformation campaign. Similarly, in the US the intervention of the military (as well as martial law provisions) are being envisaged in the case of a public health emergency. Is this emergency being planned ahead of time. Are these various national emergencies (Britain, France UK) being coordinated through inter-governmental consultations, which serves to trigger a Worldwide public health emergency, based on fabricated evidence? Deadly Vaccines On the other hand, amply documented and denied by Western governments, the proposed vaccines could result in more deaths than those caused by the H1N1 influenza, as confirmed by Britain's Health Protection Agency: A warning that the new swine flu jab is linked to a deadly nerve disease has been sent by the Government to senior neurologists in a confidential letter. The letter from the Health Protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, has been leaked to The Mail on Sunday, leading to demands to know why the information has not been given to the public before the vaccination of millions of people, including children, begins. It tells the neurologists that they must be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the vaccine. GBS attacks the lining of the nerves, causing paralysis and inability to breathe, and can be fatal. The letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications. It refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when: * More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu. * 500 cases of GBS were detected. * The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times. * The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear. * The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected. (Mail on Sunday, August 16, 2009) The British government has announced that more than 13 million people will be innoculated. The proposed vaccines for the H1N1 swine flu have not, as yet, been tested

• People to Psychiatrists Rajan Gupta returned after a business trip to the US recently and rushed to see his psychiatrist the very next day as he feared he had swine Swine flu Swine flu fears send people to psychiatrists (TOI Photo) flu, the viral disease that has killed a 14-year-old girl and affected over 600 people in India. Fifty-year-old Gupta is not the only one. Call it fear psychosis or hysteria, but general practitioners in the capital are not the only ones reporting a sudden spurt in patients. Psychiatrists are dealing with the problem too with patients convinced they have swine flu, even if they don't have any symptoms, knocking at their doors -- this trend has become more pronounced after the first swine flu death in the country in Pune on Monday. 'Even those who have a common cold or seasonal flu due to weather change think they have swine flu. And those with psychological problems or a phobia are the worst impacted,' said M.S. Bhatia, head of the psychiatry department at the Guru Tegh Bahadur Hospital. Bhatia said he has seen a number of cases in the past few weeks where people think they have the virus. Most people, he added, don't know the difference between a common flu and swine flu but imagine they have it. Like the 55-year-old man who came to him because he was afraid of flying and feared he would get the H1N1 influenza. 'He wanted to meet his son in Singapore. But since he had heard that those going abroad are getting the influenza, he refused to go despite his wife's plea. We had to really counsel him,' Bhatia told IANS. 'After the death of the (Pune) girl, the panic level has gone up. It is bound to happen as it is a natural worry. We advise them and give them medication. In some cases, we refer them for tests so that the fear eases out after they find they don't have it,' he added. Samir Parikh, consulting psychiatrist at the Department of Mental Health and Behavioural Sciences at Max Healthcare, said the hysteria was based on fear psychosis. 'It is natural, people are worried about their health. People should be clearly told how they should handle the situation and should be given the right information. People need to be given assurance they would get prompt treatment,' Parikh told IANS. Monica Chib, consultant psychologist at the Indraprastha Apollo hospital, is also seeing a number of panic-struck people who imagine they have the flu following the death of 14-year-old Reeda Shaikh. 'Actually the swine flu death in Pune has created a fear and people are naturally worried, which was not so earlier. Such kind of reaction is expected,' she added. There is no reason for panic, say doctors. 'In India, the number of swine flu cases are few, compared to the West. The problem is that swine flu symptoms are the same as seasonal flu,' said Randeep Guleria, head of medicine at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). He said doctors need to look out for danger signs -- normal fever persisting for more than five days, breathing difficulty, cough with sputum and blood, chest pain, drowsiness, low blood pressure and nails turning blue. But for some any flu must be swine flu. Anjali Baruah, who works in the capital, said her parents back home in Assam are paranoid and making her nervy too. 'My father called me last night and read out a whole newspaper clipping on measures to be taken against getting swine flu. A little later, he called me again to tell me to carry a handkerchief and cover my nose and mouth while travelling in public transport. 'At the slightest indication of a cold, he asked me to go to a government hospital and get myself tested -- and not to forget to carry my own disposable syringe!. He has become so paranoid and is making me too.'

• Aanklacht tegen WHO en VN Journaliste klaagt WHO en VN aan voor Bioterrorisme en Poging tot Massamoord door Barbara Minton vertaald uit het Engels door Frank Hoogerbeets Juni 2009 Nu de verwachte uitgiftedatum in juli nadert van Baxter's A/H1N1 griep-pandemievaccin, waarschuwt een Oostenrijkse onderzoeksjournaliste de wereld dat de grootste misdaad in de geschiedenis van de mensheid gepleegd gaat worden. Jane Burgermeister heeft onlangs aanklachten ingediend bij de FBI tegen de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO), de Verenigde Naties (VN), en verscheidene hooggeplaatste regerings- en bedrijfsvertegenwoordigers betreffende bioterrorisme en pogingen om massamoord te plegen. Ze heeft ook een gerechtelijk bevel voorbereid tegen gedwongen vaccinatie die in Amerika is ingediend. Deze acties volgen op de aanklachten die zij had ingediend in april tegen Baxter AG en Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in Oostenrijk voor het produceren van besmette vogelgriepvaccins, met de bewering dat dit een opzettelijke daad was om een pandemie te veroorzaken en daar geld mee te verdienen. Samenvatting van aanklachten en beschuldigingen ingediend bij de FBI in Oostenrijk op 10 juni 2009 In haar aanklachten voert Burgermeister bewijzen aan van bioterroristische handelingen die in strijd zijn met de Amerikaanse wet, door een groep die in de VS opereert onder leiding van internationale bankiers die de Federal Reserve, en ook de WHO, de VN en de NAVO in handen hebben. Dit bioterrorisme is bedoeld om grootschalige genocide te plegen tegen de amerikaanse bevolking door middel van een genetisch ontworpen griep-pandemievirus met de bedoeling om te doden. Deze groep heeft hoge regeringsinstanties in de VS geannexeerd. Er is met name bewijs geleverd dat de gedaagden, Barack Obama, president van de VS, David Nabarro, systeemcoördinator bij de VN voor influenza, Margaret Chan, directeur-generaal van de WHO, Kathleen Sibelius, minister van Gezondheid en Hulpverlening, Janet Napolitano, minister van Binnenlandse veiligheid, David de Rothchild, bankier, David Rockefeller, bankier, George Soros, bankier, Werner Faymann, Kanselier van Oostenrijk, en Alois Stoger, Oostenrijkse minister van Gezondheid, en anderen, deel uitmaken van dit internationaal opererende misdaadsyndicaat, dat biologische wapens heeft ontwikkeld, geproduceerd, opgeslagen en ingezet om de bevolking uit te roeien van de VS en andere landen voor financieel en politiek gewin. In de aanklachten staat dat deze gedaagden met elkaar en met anderen samenspanden om het laatste stadium te onwikkelen en te financieren van de implementatie van een geheim internationaal biowapen-programma waarbij de farmaceutische bedrijven Baxter en Novartis betrokken zijn. Zij deden dit door het ontwikkelen en verspreiden van dodelijke biologische dragers, met name het “vogelgriep-virus” en het “varkensgriep-virus” om een excuus te hebben voor een gedwongen massavaccinatie-programma dat dient om giftige biologische dragers toe te dienen om de bevolking van de VS te doden en letsel toe te brengen. Dit is in strijd met de wet van Biologische Wapens en Anti-terrorisme. Burgermeister's aanklachten bevatten bewijs dat Baxter AG, Oostenrijkse dochtermaatschappij van Baxter International, opzettelijk 72 kilo verstuurde van levend vogelgriepvirus, geleverd door de WHO in de winter van 2009, naar 16 laboratoria in vier landen. Burgermeister beweert dat dit bewijs duidelijk aantoont dat de farmaceutische bedrijven internationale regeringsinstanties zelf actief betrokken zijn bij het produceren, ontwikkelen, vervaardigen en verspreiden van biologische dragers die zijn geclassificeerd als de meest dodelijke biowapens op Aarde om een pandemie en massale dood te veroorzaken. In haar aanklachten van april gaf Burgermeister aan dat Baxter's laboratorium in Oostenrijk, die wordt verondersteld een van de meest veilige bioveiligheidslaboratoria te zijn in de wereld, zich niet hield aan de eerste en essentiële stappen om 72 kilo van een ziekteverwekker die is geclassificeerd als een biowapen, veilig en gescheiden te houden van alle andere stoffen onder strikte bioveiligheidsniveau-voorschriften, maar toestand dat het werd gemixd met het gewone menselijke griepvirus, en werd verzonden vanuit haar vestiging in Orth aan de Donau. Toen in februari een lid van BioTest in de Tsjechische Republiek de stof als candidaat-vaccin testte op fretten, stierven de fretten. Dit incident werd niet onderzocht door de WHO, de EU, of Oostenrijkse gezondheidsautoriteiten. Er vond geen onderzoek plaats naar de inhoud van het virus, en er zijn geen gegevens over de genetische code van het virus vrijgegeven. Als antwoord op de parlementaire vragen op 20 mei, zei de Oostenrijkse minister van Volksgezondheid, Alois Stoger, dat het incident niet werd aangepakt als een bioveiligheidsfout, maar als een overtreding van de veterinaire code. Een veterinaire arts werd naar het laboratorium gestuurd voor een korte inspectie. Burgermeister's dossier laat zien dat de verspreiding van het virus een essentiële stap was voor het veroorzaken van een pandemie zodat de WHO een Niveau 6 Pandemie kan afkondigen. Zij somt de wetten en verordeningen op die de VN en de WHO toestaan de VS over te nemen in het geval van een pandemie. Bovendien zou een wet die onderwerping aan verplichte vaccinatie stelt, van kracht worden in de VS als een pandemie is afgekondigd. Zij beweerde dat de hele “varkensgriep” pandemiezaak is gebaseerd op een enorme leugen en dat er geen natuurlijk virus is dat een bedreiging vormt voor de bevolking. Zij voert bewijs aan leidend tot de overtuiging dat het vogelgriep- en de varkensgriepvirus biologisch zijn ontworpen in laboratoria met financiële hulp van o.a. de WHO en andere regeringsinstanties. Deze “varkensgriep” is een kruising van varkensgriep, mensengriep en vogelgriep, iets wat volgens veel experts alleen uit laboratoria kan komen. De bewering van de WHO dat deze “varkensgriep” zich verspreidt en dat een pandemie moet worden uitgeroepen gaat voorbij aan de fundamentele oorzaken. De virussen die werden verspreid, werden gemaakt en verspreid met de steun van de WHO, en de WHO is geheel verantwoordelijk voor de pandemie. Bovendien zijn de symtomen van de zogenaamde “varkensgriep” precies dezelfde als die van gewone griep of van gewone verkoudheid. De “varkensgriep” veroorzaakt niet méér doden dan de gewone griep. Burgermeister merkt op dat het aantal gerapporteerde doden als gevolg van de “varkensgriep” inconsistent zijn en dat er geen duidelijkheid is over hoe het aantal “doden” is gedocumenteerd. Er is geen gevaar voor een pandemie tenzij massala vaccinatie wordt uitgevoerd om de griep te activeren onder het mom van het beschermen van de bevolking. Er is gerede grond om aan te nemen dat de verplichte vaccins opzettelijk besmet zullen zijn met ziektes die specifiek zijn ontwikkeld om te doden. Er wordt verwezen naar een gelicenseerd Novartis vogelgriep-vaccin dat 21 daklozen in Polen doodde in de zomer van 2008, en had als “primaire uitkomstmaatstaf” een “ongunstig sterftecijfer”, en voldeed daarmee aan Amerika's eigen defintie van een biowapen (een biologische drager ontwikkeld om een groot sterftecijfer te veroorzaken) met een overdrachtsysteem (injectie). Zij beweert dat hetzelfde complex van internationale farmaceutische bedrijven en internationale regeringsinstanties die pandemische stoffen hebben ontwikkeld en verspreid, proberen te profiteren van het veroorzaken van een pandemie via contracten om vaacins te leveren. Media die worden gecontroleerd door de groep die “varkensgriep-agenda” uitvoert, verspreiden desinformatie om de mensen van de VS (en andere landen Vert.) ertoe over te halen het gevaarlijke vaccin te nemen. De bevolking van de VS zal enorme en onherstelbare schade oplopen als zij worden gedwongen om dit niet-veilig bewezen vaccin zonder hun toestemming te nemen in overeenstemming met de Model State Emergency Healt Act, National Emergency Act, National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51, Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20, en het International Partnership for Avian and Pandemic influënza. Burgermeister beweert dat sinds 2008 in de VS, diegenen die worden genoemd in haar beschuldigingen, versneld nieuwe wetten en voorschriften hebben doorgevoerd die zijn bedoeld om de inwoners van de VS hun wettelijke constitutionele rechten te ontnemen bij het weigeren van een injectie. Deze mensen hebben van kracht blijvende bepalingen opgesteld of laten opstellen, waardoor het een criminele daad is om een injectie tegen pandemische virussen te weigeren. Zij hebben andere excessieve en wrede straffen voorgeschreven zoals het opsluiten en/of in quarantaine plaatsen in FEMA-kampen, en de bewoners van de VS geen recht te geven op compensatie-eisen als gevolg van schade of dood door gedwongen injecties. Dit is in strijd met de wetten die gaan over federale corrputie en misbruik van macht, en ook in strijd met de Constitutie en de Bill of Rights (de eerste tien amendementen op de Amerikaanse grondwet Vert.). Door middel van deze handelingen hebben de genoemde verdachten de basis gelegd voor massale genocide. Met de “varkensgriep” als voorwendsel hebben de verdachten de massale moord van de Amerikaanse bevolking gepland door middel van gedwongen vaccinaties. Zij hebben een enorm netwerk van FEMA-concentratiekampen opgezet en plekken voor massagraven aangewezen, en zij zijn betrokken geweest bij het ontwerpen en uitvoeren van een plan om de macht over de VS over te dragen aan een internationaal misdaadsyndicaat die de VN en de WHO gebruiken als een front voor georganiseerde misdaadactiviteiten, die in strijd zijn met de wetten betreffende verraad. Burgermeister beweert verder dat het complex van farmaceutische bedrijven bestaande uit Baxter, Novartis en Sanofi Aventis, deel uitmaken van een buitenlands tweeledig biowapensprogramma, gefinancierd door dit internationale misdaadsyndicaat en ontworpen om massamoord te plegen om de wereldbevolking de komende tien jaar te reduceren met meer dan 5 miljard mensen. Hun plan is om angst te zaaien om te rechtvaardigen dat mensen worden gedwongen hun rechten op te geven, en om massa-quarantaine in FEMA-kampen af te dwingen. De huizen, bedrijven en boerderijen en grondbezittingen van diegenen die zijn vermoord zal dit syndicaat voor het grijpen hebben. Door de bevolking van Noord-Amerika te elimineren, krijgt de internationale elite toegang tot de natuurlijke bronnen zoals water en onontgonnen olievelden. En door de VS en haar democratische constitutie uit te schakelen door het op te nemen in een Noord-Amerikaanse Unie, zal de internationale misdaadgroep totale controle hebben over Noord-Amerika. Hoogtepunten uit het dossier Het complete dossier van 10 juni is een document van 69 pagina's met bewijzen om alle beschuldigingen te onderbouwen, waaronder: Feitelijke achtergrond die tijdlijnen weergeeft en feiten die waarschijnlijke oorzaken noemen, VN- en WHO-definities en betrokkenheid, en geschiedenis en incidenten van de april 2009 “varkensgriep-uitbraak”. Bewijs dat “varkensgriep-vaccins” door regeringsinstanties zijn gedefinieerd als biowapens, en voorschriften waardoor vaccins geheim en verborgen worden gehouden, en de angst van andere landen dat “varkensgriep” vaccins worden gebruikt voor biologische oorlogsvoering. Wetenschappelijk bewijs dat het “varkensgriep” virus een kunstmatig (genetisch) virus is. Wetenschappelijk bewijs dat het “varkensgriep” virus biologisch is ontworpen volgens het model van het Spaanse griepvirus van 1918, inclusief citaten uit Swine Flu 2009 is Weaponized 1918 Spanish Flu door A. True Ott, Ph.D., N.D., en een Science Magazine-artikel van Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger et.al. De genoom-code van de “varkensgriep”. Bewijs van het opzettelijk verspreiden van de “varkensgriep” in Mexico. Bewijs van de betrokkenheid van president Obama dat zijn reis naar Mexico beschrijft die samenvalt met de recente uitbraak van de “varkensgriep” en de dood van verscheidende ambtenaren die betrokken waren bij zijn reis. Er wordt beweerd dat de president nooit was getest op “varkensgriep” omdat hij recentelijk was gevaccineerd. Bewijs voor de betrokkenheid van Baxter en de WHO bij het produceren en verspreiden van pandemische virusstoffen in Oostenrijk bevat een verklaring van een Baxter-medewerker die zegt dat het per ongeluk verspreidde H5N1 in de Tsjechische Republiek van een WHO reference center kwam. Dit bevat omschrijving van bewijs en beschuldigingen van Burgermeister's aanklachten ingediend in april in Oostenrijk die nu worden onderzocht. Bewijs dat Baxter deel uitmaakt van een geheime biowapen-netwerk. Bewijs dat Baxter opzettelijk vaccinstoffen heeft besmet. Bewijs dat Novartis vaccins gebruikt als biowapens. Bewijs voor WHO's betrokkenheid bij het biowapen-programma. Bewijs voor WHO's manipulatie van ziektegegevens om het uitroepen van een Pandemie Niveau 6 af te kondigen om controle te krijgen over de VS. Bewijs voor de betrokkenheid van de FDA bij het verhullen van het biowapen-programma. Bewijs voor de betrokkenheid van Canada's National Microbiology Lab bij het biowapen-programma. Bewijs voor de betrokkenheid van wetenschappers die werken voor Engeland's NIBSC, en de CDC om de “varkensgriep” te ontwikkelen. Bewijs dat vaccinaties de dodelijke Spaanse griep van 1918 veroorzaakte waaronder de overtuiging van Dr. Jerry Tennant dat de het wijdverspreide gebruik van aspirine gedurende de winter die volgde op het einde van de Eerste Wereldoorlog een sleutelfactor kan zijn geweest die bijdroeg aan de pandemie door het onderdrukken van het immuunsysteem en het verlagen van de lichaamstemperatuur, waardoor het griepvirus zich kon vermeerderen. Tamiflu en Relenza verlagen ook de lichaamstemperatuur en zullen naar kan worden verwacht ook bijdragen aan de verspreiding van een pandemie. Bewijs voor de manipulatie van het stelsel van wetten om straffeloos massamoord toe te staan. Constitutionele zaken: de legaliteit versus illegaliteit van het in gevaar brengen van leven, gezondheid en algemene welzijn door massale vaccinaties. De zaak van immuniteit en compensatie als bewijs voor een poging om een misdaad te plegen. Bewijs voor het bestaan van een internationaal misdaadsyndicaat. Bewijs voor het bestaan van de “Illuminati”. Bewijs voor de ontvolkingsagenda van de Illuminati/Bilderbergs en hun betrokkenheid bij het ontwikkelen en verspreiden van het kunstmatige “varkensgriep” virus. Bewijs dat griep als wapen werd besproken op de jaarlijkse Bilderbergs-vergadering in Athene van 14 tot 17 mei 2009, als deel van hun genocide-agenda, inclusief een lijst van aanwezigen die, volgens een ooit gedane uitspraak van Pierre Trudeau, zichzelf zien als genetisch superieur aan de rest van de mensheid. Media houden Amerikanen in het ongewisse over het gevaar dat op hen afkomt Jane Burgermeister is van Ierse/Oostenrijkse afkomst die heeft geschreven voor Nature, het Britisch Medical Journal, en American Prospect. Zij is de Europese Correspondent van de Renewable Energy World website. Zij heeft veel geschreven over klimaatverandering, biotechnologie, en ecologie. Behalve de aanklachten die nu in behandeling zijn die zij heeft ingediend tegen Baxter AG en Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in april, heeft zij aanklachten ingediend tegen o.a. WHO en Baxter betreffende een zaak van ontploffende “varkensgriep” injectieflacons in een drukke IC-trein in Zwitserland, die bestemd waren voor een onderzoekslaboratorium. Volgens Burgermeister heeft controle over de media door de heersende elite ertoe bijgedragen dat zij ongestoord hun agenda konden uitvoeren terwijl de rest van de mensen niet weet wat er werkelijk speelt. Haar aanklachten zijn een poging om deze media-controle te omzeilen en de waarheid aan het licht te brengen. Haar grootste zorg is dat “ondanks dat Baxter is betrapt bij het bijna veroorzaken van een pandemie, deze niettemin samen met andere bedrijven doorgaat met het leveren van het vaccin voor pandemieën.” Baxter maakt haast om dit vaccin ergens in juli op de markt te brengen.

• Achterbakse streken van WHO De Oostenrijkse onderzoeksjournalist Jane Burgermeister, die onlangs een klacht indiende tegen onder andere de VN, de Wereld Gezondheids Organisatie (WHO) en president Obama vanwege poging tot massamoord via het vaccin tegen de Mexicaanse griep, schrijft dat de WHO in het geheim het gedwongen vaccineren van de hele bevolking van de VS, Europa en andere landen aan het voorbereiden is. Tekst: Jane Burgermeister Bron: Global Research Vertaling en met dank aan: Xandernieuws.punt.nl Dat concludeert Burgermeister mede naar aanleiding van het feit, dat de WHO geweigerd heeft om de details van een uiterst belangrijke vergadering met een Adviserende Vaccin Groep -waar een groot aantal officials van de vaccinproducenten Baxter, Novartis en Sanofi in zitten- naar buiten te brengen. Onder de Internationale Gezondheids Voorschriften hebben richtlijnen van de WHO in het geval van een pandemie in alle 194 aangesloten landen een bindend karakter. Dat betekent dat de WHO tijdens de in de herfst van 2009 verwachte dodelijke H1N1 pandemie de authoriteit heeft om ALLE inwoners van ALLE 194 landen desnoods onder bedreiging met geweld te dwingen om zich te laten vaccineren. Ook kan de WHO quarantaines opleggen en reisverboden uitvaardigen. Dat betekent dat de WHO tijdens de in de herfst van 2009 verwachte dodelijke H1N1 pandemie de authoriteit heeft om ALLE inwoners van ALLE 194 landen desnoods onder bedreiging met geweld te dwingen om zich te laten vaccineren. Wereldwijde pandemie opzettelijk veroorzaakt Burgermeister zegt dat er duidelijk, verifieerbaar en ondubbelzinnig bewijs is dat de WHO het levende vogelgriepvirus aan Baxters dochterbedrijf in Oostenrijk heeft geleverd, dat vervolgens door Baxter werd gebruikt bij de produktie van 72 kilo vaccinmateriaal in februari. Baxter zond dit bewust besmette produkt vervolgens naar 16 laboratoria in vier landen, waardoor er bijna een wereldwijde pandemie werd veroorzaakt. Omdat Baxter zich verplicht moet houden aan zeer strenge bioveiligheidseisen, kan de besmetting, produktie en verspreiding van het met het gevaarlijke vogelgriepvirus besmette materiaal nooit een ongeluk zijn geweest. Daarom moet Baxter volgens Burgermeister doelbewust misdadig hebben gehandeld. Naar aanleiding van haar aanklacht is de Oostenrijkse politie inmiddels een onderzoek gestart naar de handelwijze van Baxter. Machtselite wil wereldbevolking uitdunnen BIOHet wordt echter steeds duidelijker dat de WHO en Baxter slechts onderdelen zijn van een veel grotere criminele organisatie die in dienst staat van een zorgvuldig voorbereid en gecoördineerd plan van de ‘machtselite’ achter de schermen, om de wereldbevolking in de komende maanden en jaren fors uit te dunnen. Deze plannen vallen samen met het realiseren van een één-wereldregering, waar de WHO deel van zal uitmaken. Het wordt echter steeds duidelijker dat de WHO en Baxter slechts onderdelen zijn van een veel grotere criminele organisatie die in dienst staat van een zorgvuldig voorbereid en gecoördineerd plan van de ‘machtselite’ achter de schermen. De WHO, een organisatie van de VN, lijkt een sleutelrol te spelen bij het coördineren van de werkzaamheden van de laboratoria, vaccinproducenten en overheden, met als doel de wereldbevolking te reduceren en zowel Noord Amerika als Europa politiek en economisch over te nemen: 1. De WHO geeft fondsen, steun en bescherming aan laboratoria bij het fabriceren en dodelijker maken van ziekteverwekkende virussen, en het patenteren van deze virussen. 2. De WHO geeft deze gefabriceerde, dodelijke ziekteverwekkers aan bedrijven zoals Baxter in Oostenrijk, waardoor Baxter in staat was om doelbewust vaccins te besmetten. Als de besmetting van 72 kilo vaccinmateriaal niet tijdig ontdekt was door een laborant in Tsjechië, zouden inmiddels miljoenen mensen geinjecteerd zijn met het vogelgriepvirus. 3. In het geval van een pandemie geeft de WHO het bevel tot gedwongen vaccinaties in alle 194 aangesloten landen, op ‘aanbevelingen’ die worden gedaan door een Adviserende Vaccin Groep, waar onder andere directieleden van bedrijven zoals Baxter zitting in hebben. 4. De WHO verstrekt Baxter, Novartis, Sanofi en andere bedrijven lucratieve contracten om deze vaccins te fabriceren. WHO ongekende macht over wereld Daarnaast zal de WHO bij het uitbreken van een pandemie ongekende macht krijgen over de hele wereld. In 2005 werden er namelijk speciale richtlijnen aangenomen, waarbij de overheden van ALLE landen -inclusief die van de VS- worden ontbonden en vervangen worden door speciale crisiscomité’s, die de gezondheids- en veiligheidsstructuur van ieder land zullen overnemen, en die verantwoording schuldig zullen zijn aan de WHO en de EU in Europa, en aan de WHO en de VN in Noord Amerika. Hierdoor worden de WHO, de EU en de VN feitelijk de regering van groot deel van de hele wereld. In 2005 werden er namelijk speciale richtlijnen aangenomen, waarbij de overheden van ALLE landen -inclusief die van de VS- worden ontbonden en vervangen worden door speciale crisiscomité’s. Als in de VS de zogenaamde Model Emergency Health Powers Act na instructies van de WHO wordt geactiveerd, zal het als een officiële misdaad bestempeld worden als Amerikanen weigeren het vaccin te ontvangen. De politie wordt geauthoriseerd om dodelijk geweld te gebruiken tegen deze ‘criminele verdachten’. Massamoorden en grote aantallen doden zullen de economische ineenstorting bespoedigen, en de maatschappij in chaos doen ontaarden. Er ontstaan hongersnoden en oorlogen, zaken die allemaal meewerken aan het doel om de wereldbevolking te reduceren. ‘Gevestigde media werkt doelbewust mee met genocideplannen’ virus_microscopisch_2008765De gevestigde media, die in handen zijn van dezelfde machtselite die de WHO financiert en controleert, verbergen deze feiten systematisch voor het grote publiek. Belangrijke informatie wordt doelbewust niet gegeven, met als gevolg dat verreweg de meeste mensen denken dat het H1N1 virus een vorm van een natuurlijke griep is, zelfs ondanks het feit dat de WHO de term ‘varkensgriep’ heeft laten vallen, wat een soort taktische erkenning was van het feit dat het Mexicaanse griepvirus kunstmatig gefabriceerd is. Belangrijke informatie wordt doelbewust niet gegeven, met als gevolg dat verreweg de meeste mensen denken dat het H1N1 virus een vorm van een natuurlijke griep is. Hierdoor geloven de meeste mensen nog steeds dat de vaccinproducenten daadwerkelijk een medicijn tegen de Mexicaanse griep zullen verstrekken. De realiteit is echter dat dit vaccin besmet zal zijn met ‘verdunde’ levende virussen, schadelijke metalen en andere giftige stoffen. De uit twee doses bestaande H1N1 vaccinaties zijn ontworpen om het immuunsysteem buiten werking te stellen, om vervolgens dit systeem bloot te stellen aan een levend virus. Opzettelijk ons immuunsysteem verzwakken Dit proces werd reeds in 1972 in het zogenaamde Strecker-memorandum van het WHO beschreven. Sinds die tijd is de WHO aktief op zoek naar manieren om het immuunsysteem van mensen te verzwakken. De beste bescherming tegen het H1N1 virus dat op de wereldbevolking is vrijgelaten en door mutaties uiteindelijk steeds dodelijker zal worden, is colloidaal zilver. Daarnaast zijn ook vitamines belangrijk (o.a. vitamine D, zoals vaker geschreven) om het immuunsysteem te versterken. Noch de regering van de VS, noch die in Europa hebben echter besloten om colloidaal zilver in te slaan of om de bevolking voor te lichten over de juiste maatregelen om de komende dodelijke griepgolf te kunnen weerstaan. Integendeel, er zijn steeds meer signalen dat de komende paniek rond de pandemie juist gebruikt zal worden om de mensen over te halen de giftige vaccinaties te accepteren, die los van het virus zelf zeer schadelijk zijn voor onze gezondheid. Door deze massavaccinatie zal de weg vrijgemaakt worden voor het loslaten van nóg dodelijkere griepvarianten en andere ziekteverwekkers. Daarom moeten er snel stappen worden ondernomen om de geplande massale vaccinaties tegen te houden, en tevens om de wetgeving die het gedwongen vaccineren van mensen legaliseert, buiten werking te stellen. Door deze massavaccinatie zal de weg vrijgemaakt worden voor het loslaten van nóg dodelijkere griepvarianten en andere ziekteverwekkers. Daarom moeten er snel stappen worden ondernomen om de geplande massale vaccinaties tegen te houden. ‘In elk land moet onderzoek komen’ Burgermeister schrijft dat er in elk land een onderzoek ingesteld moet worden naar het internationale misdaadsyndicaat dat deze gruwelijke genocideplannen wil gaan uitvoeren. Daarom heeft de journalist in juni aanklachten ingediend bij de FBI tegen onder andere de WHO, de VN en president Obama. Obama wordt aangeklaagd omdat Burgermeister er zeker van is dat het misdaadsyndicaat zijn tentakels heeft uitgespreid tot in de hoogste regeringskringen, en er aanwijzingen zijn dat Obama direkte financiële belangen heeft bij Baxter. Tevens zou er duidelijk bewijs zijn dat de Oostenrijkse (en daardoor hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook de overige Europese en Amerikaanse) media aktief betrokken zijn bij het verspreiden van leugens en desinformatie, met als doel de bevolking een vals gevoel van veiligheid te geven ten aanzien van de komende grieppandemie en de geplande vaccinaties. Tevens zou er duidelijk bewijs zijn dat de Oostenrijkse (en daardoor hoogstwaarschijnlijk ook de overige Europese en Amerikaanse) media aktief betrokken zijn bij het verspreiden van leugens en desinformatie. Daarom is het van vitaal belang dat individuen en lokale authoriteiten effectieve maatregelen nemen om de bevolking te gaan beschermen tegen deze genocideplannen, zodat de impact van het gefabriceerde dodelijke H1N1 viruszo veel mogelijk beperkt wordt. Noot Tessa: Vandaag kwam ik in De Telegraaf dit bericht: Prof: ‘Griepalarm moet angst zaaien’. De Franse professor Bernard Debré zegt dat de Mexicaanse griep niet gevaarlijk is. Hij geeft de WHO de schuld in deze kwestie. Het doet me goed dat De Telegraaf dit bericht heeft geplaatst.
• Baxter vaccinpatent van H1N1 Baxter, hetzelfde bedrijf dat ook al zo 'slordig' was in het 'per ongeluk' opsturen van H5N1 (vogelgriep) virussen aan andere laboratoria, blijkt net voor de uitbraak een patent op Influenza-virussen te hebben verkregen. Dat stelt de uitspraken van wetenschappers dat de pandemie misschien wel het gevolg van een laboratorium vergissing was of dat het huidige varkensgriepvirus lijkt op een in een laboratorium geproduceerd virus ineens in een heel ander daglicht. “In particular preferred embodiments the composition or vaccine comprises more than one antigen…..such as influenza A and influenza B in particular selected from of one or more of the human H1N1, H2N2, H3N2, H5N1, H7N7, H1N2, H9N2, H7N2, H7N3, H10N7 subtypes, of the pig flu H1N1, H1N2, H3N1 and H3N2 subtypes, of the dog or horse flu H7N7, H3N8 subtypes or of the avian H5N1, H7N2, H1N7, H7N3, H13N6, H5N9, H11N6, H3N8, H9N2, H5N2, H4N8, H10N7, H2N2, H8N4, H14N5, H6N5, H12N5 subtypes.” 
• Codex Alimentarius Geheime Agenda van Codex Alimentarius?
  
  Codex Alimentarius; een naam die bij weinig mensen een lichtje doet branden, maar wel eentje met grote maatschappelijke gevolgen. De Codex bevat wereldwijde wetgeving die per 31 december 2009 definitief in zal gaan. Het betreft een uitgebreid reglement van voedselvoorschriften. De wetgeving zal geïmplementeerd worden door de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) en de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO). Ze is bindend voor alle lidstaten van de Verenigde Naties. Een land dat zich vanaf 31 december 2009 niet aan de Codex-afspraken houdt, krijgt economische sancties opgelegd. De codex is bedoeld om de kwaliteit van voedsel te reguleren. De werkelijke aard van de wet wordt echter in twijfel getrokken. Vandaar deze brief. Voedsel is een van de primaire menselijke behoeftes en gaat derhalve ook eenieder ter harte.
  
  
  
  http://argusoog.punt.nl/upload/Logs/Gezondheid/Gezondheid_001_voeding_en_codex_alimentarius.jpg
  
  Er wordt al meer dan 45 jaar aan de Codex Alimentarius gewerkt door organisaties als de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) en de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO). De herkomst is obscuur. De eerste plannen voor de Codex zijn in 1962 in het leven geroepen door de Verenigde Naties, met het publieke doel om de kwaliteit van voedsel wereldwijd te waarborgen. Daarachter schuilde echter een enorme lobby van farmaceutische multinationals. Het thuisfront van de Codex-lobby was lange tijd Duitsland en de hoofdsponsor IG Farben, het kartel (bestaande uit de bedrijven Bayer, BASF en Hoechst) dat met vele dollars de machtsovername van Hitler en daarmee de Tweede Wereldoorlog mogelijk maakte. Iedere keer dat Hitlers leger een land veroverde, stond IG Farben als eerste in de rij om de gasvelden en andere lucratieve industrieën te annexeren.
• DE SPUIT BLIJFT ERUIT De Mexicaanse griep is tegenwoordig bijna dagelijks in het nieuws. Artsen en farmaceutische bedrijven roepen ons op tot vaccinatie. De visies op de effecten van deze maatregelen lopen echter nogal uiteen. Het doel van despuitblijfteruit.nl is om met een kritische blik naar al deze informatie te kijken. Op deze site verwijzen we naar de vele publicaties over vaccinaties die een ander geluid laten horen. Een aantal aspecten komt hierbij uitvoerig aan de orde: * Wat zit er in een vaccin? * Wat zit er in het Mexicaanse griep vaccin? * Wat veroorzaken deze bestanddelen in het menselijk lichaam? * Wat is er bekend over de oorsprong van dit virus? * Wat kun je zelf doen (zijn er eventueel alternatieven voor vaccinatie)? Het is niet onze bedoeling om een bepaalde stelling omtrent deze onderwerpen uit te dragen. Wel vinden we het belangrijk om een bepaald aspect m.b.t. vaccinatie uit te lichten. Het is aan de lezer om zelf zijn of haar conclusies te trekken uit de informatie waar op deze site naar verwezen wordt.
• Indoctrinatie door de NOS Massale indoctrinatie door de NOS: ‘Help, de griep komt eraan!’ Door Lammertime, Op din 28 jul 2009 21:48, 2923x bekeken, 27 reacties Gelukkig had ik mijn kotsemmertje bij de hand. Er kwam ontzettend veel uit en luchtte gelukkig behoorlijk op. Maar nu even serieus, ik heb zelden zo'n toneelstukje opgevoerd zien worden op de Nederlandse staatstelevisie (Netwerk 28 juli 2009). Het was grotesk en bewust verkeerd gepresenteerd. Het was het doemdenken dat de maatschappij volledig stil zal komen te liggen door de varkensgriep/Mexicaanse griep/H1N1 2009/De Griep. Werkgevers verwachten dat 30% tot 50% van hun werknemers tegelijkertijd (!) uit kunnen vallen door De Griep. Schiphol zal minder vluchten uit kunnen voeren met als gevolg directe terugslag op de economie; winkelschappen zullen leeg raken en je zult (als je mazzel hebt) alleen nog maar kunnen kiezen uit 'normaal' wit brood en 'normaal' bruin brood; de politie zal een groot deel van haar taken niet meer effectief uit kunnen voeren; energiecentrales kunnen uitvallen; gaat u zo nog maar even door. In andere woorden: De Griep zal onze samenleving totaal kunnen ontwrichten.

• Straks WHO DeBaasInNederland? Rond de 2000 mensen sterven er in Nederland jaarlijks aan de gevolgen van griep. Nu zijn er nog geen 200 mensen WERELDWIJD gestorven aan de Mexicaanse griep. Wat rechtvaardigd hier paniek of is er een andere 'duistere' agenda? Weinig mensen zijn zich er op dit moment van bewust wat er precies speelt rond de ‘Mexicaanse griep’ -- een evolutionair onmogelijke, dus in het laboratorium gemanipuleerde entiteit, bestaande uit virale elementen afkomstig van drie continenten en vier verschillende vogel-, varkens- en menselijke griepstammen. Velen voelen op dit moment intuïtief de dreiging van ernstig negatieve krachten. Om hier goed op te kunnen reageren, geldt: kennis is macht. Daarom volgen hieronder enige belangrijke feiten: 1. Vanaf 2007 zijn de WHO International Health Regulations (IHR) ondertekend door 194 landen. Dit betekent dat na de afkondiging van fase 6 -- NU dus -- de WHO daadwerkelijk de macht in handen heeft om in al die landen, ook in Nederland, gedwongen vaccinaties te verordineren. De IHR-ondertekening annuleert de respectieve nationale wettelijke regelingen aangaande de soevereiniteit van het individuele lichaam. WHO International Health Regulations (IHR), http://whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2008/9789241580410_eng.pdf . 2. In Nederland zijn deze IHR zelfs opgenomen in de Wet Publieke Gezondheid... Staatsblad 2008, http://www.rivm.nl/cib/binaries/WPG%20STB_tcm92-56792.pdf#%20class= . 3. Wanneer gelezen met de bril van de duivel, blijken twee WHO-Memoranda uit 1972, in wetenschappelijke termen verhuld, het gedetailleerde recept te bevatten tot hoe vaccins kunnen worden gemaakt tot wapens van genocide. 4. De WHO 3-fasen virusstrategie van ‘immuunsysteem uitschakelen / virussen inladen / immuunsysteem voluit aanzetten, met als gevolg een cytokinenstorm’ is uitvoerig gedocumenteerd in de Memoranda 1& 2, Bulletin World Health Organ, 1972;47(2):257-274. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/tocrender.fcgi?iid=169484 . HET WHO 3-FASEN RECEPT VOOR PANDEMIE EN GENOCIDE 1. Schakel het immuunsysteem uit; 2. Introduceer virussen in iedere cel van het lichaam; 3. Zet het immuunsysteem aan op volle kracht: de cytokinenstorm -- de opgeroepen afweercellen -- vallen de eigen lichaamsweefsels aan en de patiënt verdrinkt in zijn eigen bloed: net als in 1918.... Ad 1: Schakel het immuunsysteem uit * Zorg dat de bevolking uitvoerig is gevaccineerd met kinkhoest en tetanus toxinen (DKTP-vaccinaties voor baby’s en militairen); * kinkhoest toxine schakelt het immuunsysteem uit (neutrofielen); * tetanus toxine versnelt de groei van virussen; * Wetenschappers van de Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, en Dartmouth Medical School stelden vast dat arsenicum het vermogen tot een immuunrespons aantast, http://www.ehponline.org/members/2007/10131/10131.pdf; op alledrie van de ver van elkaar verwijderde plaatsen in Mexico (op resp. 200 en 1200 mijl afstand van Mexico Stad) waar gelijktijdig de H1N1-uitbraken begonnen, bevat het bronwater veel arsenicum! Ad 2: Introduceer virussen in iedere cel van het lichaam * Verspreid gemanipuleerde ‘varkensgriep’ H1N1-virussen op drie plaatsen in Mexico (begin maart 2009); * laat ampullen met Mexicaanse H1N1 ontploffen in de coupé van een volle Zwitserse passagierstrein; stuur alle betrokkenen daarna gewoon naar huis. * Baxter International besmette H3N2 (seizoens)griepvirus met dodelijke H5N1 en verstuurde in februari 2009 daarvan 7 2 kilo naar een aantal laboratoria in Europa. Een daarvan testte dit materiaal op fretten, die prompt dood gingen. Wanneer dit niet aan het daglicht was gekomen, was dit vaccinmateriaal als ‘normaal’ griepvaccin weggespoten in onder meer Duitsland, Oostenrijk, Tsjechië. En niemand heeft tot nu tot gevraagd of die 72 kilo de gehele Baxter voorraad was... * en nogmaals: tetanus toxine versnelt de groei van virussen. Ad 3: Zet het immuunsysteem aan op volle kracht: cytokinenstorm Nadat de bevolking in 1915 al verplicht met kinkhoest was gevaccineerd (fase 1), kregen de soldaten in 1916/17 een tyfusvaccin toegediend. Welke andere ziektekiemen daarin zaten (virussen waren nog onbekend) weet niemand. Aangekomen in Spanje werden zij, in het kader van oefeningen voor WO-I , blootgesteld aan gassen, gebaseerd op arsenicum en chloor. Moderne varianten om het immuunsysteem weer op volle toeren aan te zetten en een cytokinenstorm te veroorzaken, kunnen zijn: * stoffen in voeding, drinkwater en/of chemtrails, * signalen van FM-radio en digitale televisie (S-quad technologie), * elektromagnetische impulsen vanuit MTS-masten of satellieten. Al die technologieën zijn vandaag de dag beschikbaar en operationeel. Vanuit deze voorkennis zouden ALLE artsen, politici en hulpverleners deze WHO-Memoranda nauwkeurig moeten lezen: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/tocrender.fcgi?iid=169484 Memoranda 1& 2, Bulletin World Health Organ, 1972;47(2):257-274 Virus-associated immunopathology: animal models and implications for human disease: 1.

PMCID: PMC2480896 | Summary | Page Browse | PDF–1.5M | Korte achtergrond schets In februari 2009 verspreidde Baxter Laboratories International onder 18 laboratoria in Europa 72 kilo ‘gewone’ H3N2-griepvirussen, met opzet gemengd met gemanipuleerd en dodelijk H5N1. Uit hun eigen documenten blijkt dat de WHO al vanaf veel vroeger datum is bezig geweest met het realiseren van plannen voor een mondiale vaccinatie agenda. Heeft nooit iemand zich afgevraagd hoe al die kilo’s met Baxter virussen tot stand zijn gekomen, terwijl de epidemie nog niet eens was begonnen? En 72 kilo virusmateriaal... er passen 250 miljoen virussen op een vierkante inch! Net zoals is gebeurd in 1918, zijn het de (gedwongen) vaccinaties -- gebaseerd op materiaal zoals dat van Baxter -- die de aftrap geven tot een pandemie die specifiek is gericht op het ruimen van 90-95% van de huidige wereldbevolking. Met andere woorden: U EN IK WORDEN GEACHT ER VOLGEND JAAR NIET MEER TE ZIJN! Of deze vaccins nu bij Baxter vandaan komen of niet, ALLE farmaceutische bedrijven die hierin zijn verwikkeld (bv. GlaxoSmithKline, SanofiPasteur, Novartis), hebben daarvoor ‘zaad-virus’ gekregen van de WHO, die ze nauwkeurig selecteerde op de grootste virulentie. Deze plannen tot een grote kunstmatige opruiming van de wereldbevolking worden door verschillende bronnen genoemd. De tekst in 8 talen op de Georgia Guide Stones in Elberton, Georgia, beschrijft een wereldbevolking van ‘een permanente 500 miljoen’. Dave Foreman, stichter van Earth First zegt: “Mijn drie hoofddoelen zijn 1) het reduceren van de wereldbevolking tot ongeveer 100 miljoen, 2) het vernietigen van de industriële infrastructuur, en 3) het terugbrengen van de wildernis, met over de hele wereld terugkeer naar de volledige scala van species.” Ted Turner, oprichter van CNN: “ Een totale wereldbevolking van 300 miljoen mensen zou ideaal zijn.” En prins Philip van Engeland heeft ooit geschreven dat hij wil reïncarneren als een gevaarlijk virus, om zo te helpen de wereldbevolking te verminderen. Dat is de basis waarop de moedige Oostenrijkse journalist Jane Bürgermeister op 10 juni 2009 bij de FBI in de Amerikaanse ambassade in Wenen tegen de WHO, de VN en Baxter International een aanklacht indiende ‘wegens bioterrorisme en plannen tot massamoord’. Ik vraag iedereen op eigen titel in zijn/haar eigen woonplaats hetzelfde te doen. Zie: http://birdflu666.wordpress.com/2009/06/24/legal-action-you-can-take-today-against-forced-mass-vaccinations/ Mocht dit de desbetreffende criminelen niet rechtstreeks stoppen, het is wel de perfecte manier gebleken om buiten de zwijgende reguliere media om de aandacht van het grote publiek te trekken. Artsen, politici, hulpverleners en politiepersoneel die de op handen zijnde (gedwongen) vaccinatieplannen steunen, moeten zich terdege realiseren dat zijzelf en hun gezinsleden vroeger of later eveneens slachtoffer zullen zijn van deze WHO-plannen. Het enige antwoord op wat enkelen met de wereldburgerij van plan zijn, is dat ALLE burgers * zich hiervan bewust zijn, en vervolgens * deze levensgevaarlijke, nooit geteste, en op volkenmoord ontworpen MASSAAL VACCINS WEIGEREN, * ZODAT DEZE GEPLANDE VOLKENMOORD GRANDIOOS MISLUKT!!!

• Wah zeggu? Tamiflu? Tamiflu veroorzaakt heel wat bijwerkingen bij kinderen Meer dan de helft van de kinderen die Tamiflu nemen, het medicijn dat de Mexicaanse griep bevecht, kampt met misselijkheid en nachtmerries. Daarnaast blijkt uit Brits onderzoek dat het ook buikpijn, diarree en slaapproblemen kan veroorzaken. Neveneffecten Uit onderzoek bij 103 kinderen blijkt dat 53 procent van de kinderen na inname van Tamiflu met neveneffecten kampt. De meest voorkomende klachten zijn misselijkheid (29 procent), maagpijn of krampen (20 procent) en slaapproblemen (12 procent). Een andere studie bij middelbare schoolkinderen toonde aan dat 51 procent van de leerlingen zich ziek voelde (31 procent) door Tamiflu, last had van hoofdpijn (24 procent) en maagpijn (21 procent). Daarnaast wordt er momenteel onderzoek verricht naar het verband tussen Tamiflu en leverfalen.

CIA Swine Flu Assassinations, Vaccinations & Depopulation DrLenHorowitz 22 juli 2009

• 2.5%, compared to <0.1% in other influenza pandemics (3,4). Total deaths were estimated at ≈50 million (5–7) and were arguably as high as 100 million (7). The impact of this pandemic was not limited to 1918–1919. All influenza A pandemics since that time, and indeed almost all cases of influenza A worldwide (excepting human infections from avian viruses such as H5N1 and H7N7), have been caused by descendants of the 1918 virus, including "drifted" H1N1 viruses and reassorted H2N2 and H3N2 viruses. The latter are composed of key genes from the 1918 virus, updated by subsequently incorporated avian influenza genes that code for novel surface proteins, making the 1918 virus indeed the "mother" of all pandemics. In 1918, the cause of human influenza and its links to avian and swine influenza were unknown. Despite clinical and epidemiologic similarities to influenza pandemics of 1889, 1847, and even earlier, many questioned whether such an explosively fatal disease could be influenza at all. That question did not begin to be resolved until the 1930s, when closely related influenza viruses (now known to be H1N1 viruses) were isolated, first from pigs and shortly thereafter from humans. Seroepidemiologic studies soon linked both of these viruses to the 1918 pandemic (8). Subsequent research indicates that descendants of the 1918 virus still persists enzootically in pigs. They probably also circulated continuously in humans, undergoing gradual antigenic drift and causing annual epidemics, until the 1950s. With the appearance of a new H2N2 pandemic strain in 1957 ("Asian flu"), the direct H1N1 viral descendants of the 1918 pandemic strain disappeared from human circulation entirely, although the related lineage persisted enzootically in pigs. But in 1977, human H1N1 viruses suddenly "reemerged" from a laboratory freezer (9). They continue to circulate endemically and epidemically. Thus in 2006, 2 major descendant lineages of the 1918 H1N1 virus, as well as 2 additional reassortant lineages, persist naturally: a human epidemic/endemic H1N1 lineage, a porcine enzootic H1N1 lineage (so-called classic swine flu), and the reassorted human H3N2 virus lineage, which like the human H1N1 virus, has led to a porcine H3N2 lineage. None of these viral descendants, however, approaches the pathogenicity of the 1918 parent virus. Apparently, the porcine H1N1 and H3N2 lineages uncommonly infect humans, and the human H1N1 and H3N2 lineages have both been associated with substantially lower rates of illness and death than the virus of 1918. In fact, current H1N1 death rates are even lower than those for H3N2 lineage strains (prevalent from 1968 until the present). H1N1 viruses descended from the 1918 strain, as well as H3N2 viruses, have now been cocirculating worldwide for 29 years and show little evidence of imminent extinction. Trying To Understand What Happened By the early 1990s, 75 years of research had failed to answer a most basic question about the 1918 pandemic: why was it so fatal? No virus from 1918 had been isolated, but all of its apparent descendants caused substantially milder human disease. Moreover, examination of mortality data from the 1920s suggests that within a few years after 1918, influenza epidemics had settled into a pattern of annual epidemicity associated with strain drifting and substantially lowered death rates. Did some critical viral genetic event produce a 1918 virus of remarkable pathogenicity and then other critical genetic event occur soon after the 1918 pandemic to produce an attenuated H1N1 virus? In 1995, a scientific team identified archival influenza autopsy materials collected in the autumn of 1918 and began the slow process of sequencing small viral RNA fragments to determine the genomic structure of the causative influenza virus (10). These efforts have now determined the complete genomic sequence of 1 virus and partial sequences from 4 others. The primary data from the above studies (11–17) and a number of reviews covering different aspects of the 1918 pandemic have recently been published (18–20) and confirm that the 1918 virus is the likely ancestor of all 4 of the human and swine H1N1 and H3N2 lineages, as well as the "extinct" H2N2 lineage. No known mutations correlated with high pathogenicity in other human or animal influenza viruses have been found in the 1918 genome, but ongoing studies to map virulence factors are yielding interesting results. The 1918 sequence data, however, leave unanswered questions about the origin of the virus (19) and about the epidemiology of the pandemic. When and Where Did the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Arise? Before and after 1918, most influenza pandemics developed in Asia and spread from there to the rest of the world. Confounding definite assignment of a geographic point of origin, the 1918 pandemic spread more or less simultaneously in 3 distinct waves during an ≈12-month period in 1918–1919, in Europe, Asia, and North America (the first wave was best described in the United States in March 1918). Historical and epidemiologic data are inadequate to identify the geographic origin of the virus (21), and recent phylogenetic analysis of the 1918 viral genome does not place the virus in any geographic context (19).

Click to view enlarged image Figure 3. Influenza plus pneumonia (combined) age-specific incidence rates per 1,000 persons per age group... Although in 1918 influenza was not a nationally reportable disease and diagnostic criteria for influenza and pneumonia were vague, death rates from influenza and pneumonia in the United States had risen sharply in 1915 and 1916 because of a major respiratory disease epidemic beginning in December 1915 (22). Death rates then dipped slightly in 1917. The first pandemic influenza wave appeared in the spring of 1918, followed in rapid succession by much more fatal second and third waves in the fall and winter of 1918–1919, respectively (Figure 1). Is it possible that a poorly-adapted H1N1 virus was already beginning to spread in 1915, causing some serious illnesses but not yet sufficiently fit to initiate a pandemic? Data consistent with this possibility were reported at the time from European military camps (23), but a counter argument is that if a strain with a new hemagglutinin (HA) was causing enough illness to affect the US national death rates from pneumonia and influenza, it should have caused a pandemic sooner, and when it eventually did, in 1918, many people should have been immune or at least partially immunoprotected. "Herald" events in 1915, 1916, and possibly even in early 1918, if they occurred, would be difficult to identify. The 1918 influenza pandemic had another unique feature, the simultaneous (or nearly simultaneous) infection of humans and swine. The virus of the 1918 pandemic likely expressed an antigenically novel subtype to which most humans and swine were immunologically naive in 1918 (12,20). Recently published sequence and phylogenetic analyses suggest that the genes encoding the HA and neuraminidase (NA) surface proteins of the 1918 virus were derived from an avianlike influenza virus shortly before the start of the pandemic and that the precursor virus had not circulated widely in humans or swine in the few decades before (12,15,24). More recent analyses of the other gene segments of the virus also support this conclusion. Regression analyses of human and swine influenza sequences obtained from 1930 to the present place the initial circulation of the 1918 precursor virus in humans at approximately 1915–1918 (20). Thus, the precursor was probably not circulating widely in humans until shortly before 1918, nor did it appear to have jumped directly from any species of bird studied to date (19). In summary, its origin remains puzzling. Were the 3 Waves in 1918–1919 Caused by the Same Virus? If So, How and Why? Historical records since the 16th century suggest that new influenza pandemics may appear at any time of year, not necessarily in the familiar annual winter patterns of interpandemic years, presumably because newly shifted influenza viruses behave differently when they find a universal or highly susceptible human population. Thereafter, confronted by the selection pressures of population immunity, these pandemic viruses begin to drift genetically and eventually settle into a pattern of annual epidemic recurrences caused by the drifted virus variants. In the 1918–1919 pandemic, a first or spring wave began in March 1918 and spread unevenly through the United States, Europe, and possibly Asia over the next 6 months (Figure 1). Illness rates were high, but death rates in most locales were not appreciably above normal. A second or fall wave spread globally from September to November 1918 and was highly fatal. In many nations, a third wave occurred in early 1919 (21). Clinical similarities led contemporary observers to conclude initially that they were observing the same disease in the successive waves. The milder forms of illness in all 3 waves were identical and typical of influenza seen in the 1889 pandemic and in prior interpandemic years. In retrospect, even the rapid progressions from uncomplicated influenza infections to fatal pneumonia, a hallmark of the 1918–1919 fall and winter waves, had been noted in the relatively few severe spring wave cases. The differences between the waves thus seemed to be primarily in the much higher frequency of complicated, severe, and fatal cases in the last 2 waves. But 3 extensive pandemic waves of influenza within 1 year, occurring in rapid succession, with only the briefest of quiescent intervals between them, was unprecedented. The occurrence, and to some extent the severity, of recurrent annual outbreaks, are driven by viral antigenic drift, with an antigenic variant virus emerging to become dominant approximately every 2 to 3 years. Without such drift, circulating human influenza viruses would presumably disappear once herd immunity had reached a critical threshold at which further virus spread was sufficiently limited. The timing and spacing of influenza epidemics in interpandemic years have been subjects of speculation for decades. Factors believed to be responsible include partial herd immunity limiting virus spread in all but the most favorable circumstances, which include lower environmental temperatures and human nasal temperatures (beneficial to thermolabile viruses such as influenza), optimal humidity, increased crowding indoors, and imperfect ventilation due to closed windows and suboptimal airflow. However, such factors cannot explain the 3 pandemic waves of 1918–1919, which occurred in the spring-summer, summer-fall, and winter (of the Northern Hemisphere), respectively. The first 2 waves occurred at a time of year normally unfavorable to influenza virus spread. The second wave caused simultaneous outbreaks in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres from September to November. Furthermore, the interwave periods were so brief as to be almost undetectable in some locales. Reconciling epidemiologically the steep drop in cases in the first and second waves with the sharp rises in cases of the second and third waves is difficult. Assuming even transient postinfection immunity, how could susceptible persons be too few to sustain transmission at 1 point and yet enough to start a new explosive pandemic wave a few weeks later? Could the virus have mutated profoundly and almost simultaneously around the world, in the short periods between the successive waves? Acquiring viral drift sufficient to produce new influenza strains capable of escaping population immunity is believed to take years of global circulation, not weeks of local circulation. And having occurred, such mutated viruses normally take months to spread around the world. At the beginning of other "off season" influenza pandemics, successive distinct waves within a year have not been reported. The 1889 pandemic, for example, began in the late spring of 1889 and took several months to spread throughout the world, peaking in northern Europe and the United States late in 1889 or early in 1890. The second recurrence peaked in late spring 1891 (more than a year after the first pandemic appearance) and the third in early 1892 (21). As was true for the 1918 pandemic, the second 1891 recurrence produced of the most deaths. The 3 recurrences in 1889–1892, however, were spread over >3 years, in contrast to 1918–1919, when the sequential waves seen in individual countries were typically compressed into ≈8–9 months. What gave the 1918 virus the unprecedented ability to generate rapidly successive pandemic waves is unclear. Because the only 1918 pandemic virus samples we have yet identified are from second-wave patients (16), nothing can yet be said about whether the first (spring) wave, or for that matter, the third wave, represented circulation of the same virus or variants of it. Data from 1918 suggest that persons infected in the second wave may have been protected from influenza in the third wave. But the few data bearing on protection during the second and third waves after infection in the first wave are inconclusive and do little to resolve the question of whether the first wave was caused by the same virus or whether major genetic evolutionary events were occurring even as the pandemic exploded and progressed. Only influenza RNA–positive human samples from before 1918, and from all 3 waves, can answer this question. What Was the Animal Host Origin of the Pandemic Virus? Viral sequence data now suggest that the entire 1918 virus was novel to humans in, or shortly before, 1918, and that it thus was not a reassortant virus produced from old existing strains that acquired 1 or more new genes, such as those causing the 1957 and 1968 pandemics. On the contrary, the 1918 virus appears to be an avianlike influenza virus derived in toto from an unknown source (17,19), as its 8 genome segments are substantially different from contemporary avian influenza genes. Influenza virus gene sequences from a number of fixed specimens of wild birds collected circa 1918 show little difference from avian viruses isolated today, indicating that avian viruses likely undergo little antigenic change in their natural hosts even over long periods (24,25). For example, the 1918 nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequence is similar to that of viruses found in wild birds at the amino acid level but very divergent at the nucleotide level, which suggests considerable evolutionary distance between the sources of the 1918 NP and of currently sequenced NP genes in wild bird strains (13,19). One way of looking at the evolutionary distance of genes is to compare ratios of synonymous to nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions. A synonymous substitution represents a silent change, a nucleotide change in a codon that does not result in an amino acid replacement. A nonsynonymous substitution is a nucleotide change in a codon that results in an amino acid replacement. Generally, a viral gene subjected to immunologic drift pressure or adapting to a new host exhibits a greater percentage of nonsynonymous mutations, while a virus under little selective pressure accumulates mainly synonymous changes. Since little or no selection pressure is exerted on synonymous changes, they are thought to reflect evolutionary distance. Because the 1918 gene segments have more synonymous changes from known sequences of wild bird strains than expected, they are unlikely to have emerged directly from an avian influenza virus similar to those that have been sequenced so far. This is especially apparent when one examines the differences at 4-fold degenerate codons, the subset of synonymous changes in which, at the third codon position, any of the 4 possible nucleotides can be substituted without changing the resulting amino acid. At the same time, the 1918 sequences have too few amino acid differences from those of wild-bird strains to have spent many years adapting only in a human or swine intermediate host. One possible explanation is that these unusual gene segments were acquired from a reservoir of influenza virus that has not yet been identified or sampled. All of these findings beg the question: where did the 1918 virus come from? In contrast to the genetic makeup of the 1918 pandemic virus, the novel gene segments of the reassorted 1957 and 1968 pandemic viruses all originated in Eurasian avian viruses (26); both human viruses arose by the same mechanism—reassortment of a Eurasian wild waterfowl strain with the previously circulating human H1N1 strain. Proving the hypothesis that the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic had a markedly different origin requires samples of human influenza strains circulating before 1918 and samples of influenza strains in the wild that more closely resemble the 1918 sequences. What Was the Biological Basis for 1918 Pandemic Virus Pathogenicity? Sequence analysis alone does not offer clues to the pathogenicity of the 1918 virus. A series of experiments are under way to model virulence in vitro and in animal models by using viral constructs containing 1918 genes produced by reverse genetics. Influenza virus infection requires binding of the HA protein to sialic acid receptors on host cell surface. The HA receptor-binding site configuration is different for those influenza viruses adapted to infect birds and those adapted to infect humans. Influenza virus strains adapted to birds preferentially bind sialic acid receptors with α (2–3) linked sugars (27–29). Human-adapted influenza viruses are thought to preferentially bind receptors with α (2–6) linkages. The switch from this avian receptor configuration requires of the virus only 1 amino acid change, and the HAs of all 5 sequenced 1918 viruses have this change, which suggests that it could be a critical step in human host adaptation. A second change that greatly augments virus binding to the human receptor may also occur, but only 3 of 5 1918 HA sequences have it (16). This means that at least 2 H1N1 receptor-binding variants cocirculated in 1918: 1 with high-affinity binding to the human receptor and 1 with mixed-affinity binding to both avian and human receptors. No geographic or chronologic indication exists to suggest that one of these variants was the precursor of the other, nor are there consistent differences between the case histories or histopathologic features of the 5 patients infected with them. Whether the viruses were equally transmissible in 1918, whether they had identical patterns of replication in the respiratory tree, and whether one or both also circulated in the first and third pandemic waves, are unknown. In a series of in vivo experiments, recombinant influenza viruses containing between 1 and 5 gene segments of the 1918 virus have been produced. Those constructs bearing the 1918 HA and NA are all highly pathogenic in mice (31). Furthermore, expression microarray analysis performed on whole lung tissue of mice infected with the 1918 HA/NA recombinant showed increased upregulation of genes involved in apoptosis, tissue injury, and oxidative damage (32). These findings are unexpected because the viruses with the 1918 genes had not been adapted to mice; control experiments in which mice were infected with modern human viruses showed little disease and limited viral replication. The lungs of animals infected with the 1918 HA/NA construct showed bronchial and alveolar epithelial necrosis and a marked inflammatory infiltrate, which suggests that the 1918 HA (and possibly the NA) contain virulence factors for mice. The viral genotypic basis of this pathogenicity is not yet mapped. Whether pathogenicity in mice effectively models pathogenicity in humans is unclear. The potential role of the other 1918 proteins, singularly and in combination, is also unknown. Experiments to map further the genetic basis of virulence of the 1918 virus in various animal models are planned. These experiments may help define the viral component to the unusual pathogenicity of the 1918 virus but cannot address whether specific host factors in 1918 accounted for unique influenza mortality patterns. Why Did the 1918 Virus Kill So Many Healthy Young Adults? The curve of influenza deaths by age at death has historically, for at least 150 years, been U-shaped (Figure 2), exhibiting mortality peaks in the very young and the very old, with a comparatively low frequency of deaths at all ages in between. In contrast, age-specific death rates in the 1918 pandemic exhibited a distinct pattern that has not been documented before or since: a "W-shaped" curve, similar to the familiar U-shaped curve but with the addition of a third (middle) distinct peak of deaths in young adults ≈20–40 years of age. Influenza and pneumonia death rates for those 15–34 years of age in 1918–1919, for example, were >20 times higher than in previous years (35). Overall, nearly half of the influenza-related deaths in the 1918 pandemic were in young adults 20–40 years of age, a phenomenon unique to that pandemic year. The 1918 pandemic is also unique among influenza pandemics in that absolute risk of influenza death was higher in those <65 years of age than in those >65; persons <65 years of age accounted for >99% of all excess influenza-related deaths in 1918–1919. In comparison, the <65-year age group accounted for 36% of all excess influenza-related deaths in the 1957 H2N2 pandemic and 48% in the 1968 H3N2 pandemic (33). A sharper perspective emerges when 1918 age-specific influenza morbidity rates (21) are used to adjust the W-shaped mortality curve (Figure 3, panels, A, B, and C [35,37]). Persons <35 years of age in 1918 had a disproportionately high influenza incidence (Figure 3, panel A). But even after adjusting age-specific deaths by age-specific clinical attack rates (Figure 3, panel B), a W-shaped curve with a case-fatality peak in young adults remains and is significantly different from U-shaped age-specific case-fatality curves typically seen in other influenza years, e.g., 1928–1929 (Figure 3, panel C). Also, in 1918 those 5 to 14 years of age accounted for a disproportionate number of influenza cases, but had a much lower death rate from influenza and pneumonia than other age groups. To explain this pattern, we must look beyond properties of the virus to host and environmental factors, possibly including immunopathology (e.g., antibody-dependent infection enhancement associated with prior virus exposures [38]) and exposure to risk cofactors such as coinfecting agents, medications, and environmental agents. One theory that may partially explain these findings is that the 1918 virus had an intrinsically high virulence, tempered only in those patients who had been born before 1889, e.g., because of exposure to a then-circulating virus capable of providing partial immunoprotection against the 1918 virus strain only in persons old enough (>35 years) to have been infected during that prior era (35). But this theory would present an additional paradox: an obscure precursor virus that left no detectable trace today would have had to have appeared and disappeared before 1889 and then reappeared more than 3 decades later. Epidemiologic data on rates of clinical influenza by age, collected between 1900 and 1918, provide good evidence for the emergence of an antigenically novel influenza virus in 1918 (21). Jordan showed that from 1900 to 1917, the 5- to 15-year age group accounted for 11% of total influenza cases, while the >65-year age group accounted for 6% of influenza cases. But in 1918, cases in the 5- to 15-year-old group jumped to 25% of influenza cases (compatible with exposure to an antigenically novel virus strain), while the >65 age group only accounted for 0.6% of the influenza cases, findings consistent with previously acquired protective immunity caused by an identical or closely related viral protein to which older persons had once been exposed. Mortality data are in accord. In 1918, persons >75 years had lower influenza and pneumonia case-fatality rates than they had during the prepandemic period of 1911–1917. At the other end of the age spectrum (Figure 2), a high proportion of deaths in infancy and early childhood in 1918 mimics the age pattern, if not the mortality rate, of other influenza pandemics. Could a 1918-like Pandemic Appear Again? If So, What Could We Do About It? In its disease course and pathologic features, the 1918 pandemic was different in degree, but not in kind, from previous and subsequent pandemics. Despite the extraordinary number of global deaths, most influenza cases in 1918 (>95% in most locales in industrialized nations) were mild and essentially indistinguishable from influenza cases today. Furthermore, laboratory experiments with recombinant influenza viruses containing genes from the 1918 virus suggest that the 1918 and 1918-like viruses would be as sensitive as other typical virus strains to the Food and Drug Administration–approved antiinfluenza drugs rimantadine and oseltamivir. However, some characteristics of the 1918 pandemic appear unique: most notably, death rates were 5–20 times higher than expected. Clinically and pathologically, these high death rates appear to be the result of several factors, including a higher proportion of severe and complicated infections of the respiratory tract, rather than involvement of organ systems outside the normal range of the influenza virus. Also, the deaths were concentrated in an unusually young age group. Finally, in 1918, 3 separate recurrences of influenza followed each other with unusual rapidity, resulting in 3 explosive pandemic waves within a year's time (Figure 1). Each of these unique characteristics may reflect genetic features of the 1918 virus, but understanding them will also require examination of host and environmental factors. Until we can ascertain which of these factors gave rise to the mortality patterns observed and learn more about the formation of the pandemic, predictions are only educated guesses. We can only conclude that since it happened once, analogous conditions could lead to an equally devastating pandemic. Like the 1918 virus, H5N1 is an avian virus (39), though a distantly related one. The evolutionary path that led to pandemic emergence in 1918 is entirely unknown, but it appears to be different in many respects from the current situation with H5N1. There are no historical data, either in 1918 or in any other pandemic, for establishing that a pandemic "precursor" virus caused a highly pathogenic outbreak in domestic poultry, and no highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, including H5N1 and a number of others, has ever been known to cause a major human epidemic, let alone a pandemic. While data bearing on influenza virus human cell adaptation (e.g., receptor binding) are beginning to be understood at the molecular level, the basis for viral adaptation to efficient human-to-human spread, the chief prerequisite for pandemic emergence, is unknown for any influenza virus. The 1918 virus acquired this trait, but we do not know how, and we currently have no way of knowing whether H5N1 viruses are now in a parallel process of acquiring human-to-human transmissibility. Despite an explosion of data on the 1918 virus during the past decade, we are not much closer to understanding pandemic emergence in 2006 than we were in understanding the risk of H1N1 "swine flu" emergence in 1976. Even with modern antiviral and antibacterial drugs, vaccines, and prevention knowledge, the return of a pandemic virus equivalent in pathogenicity to the virus of 1918 would likely kill >100 million people worldwide. A pandemic virus with the (alleged) pathogenic potential of some recent H5N1 outbreaks could cause substantially more deaths. Whether because of viral, host or environmental factors, the 1918 virus causing the first or ‘spring' wave was not associated with the exceptional pathogenicity of the second (fall) and third (winter) waves. Identification of an influenza RNA-positive case from the first wave could point to a genetic basis for virulence by allowing differences in viral sequences to be highlighted. Identification of pre-1918 human influenza RNA samples would help us understand the timing of emergence of the 1918 virus. Surveillance and genomic sequencing of large numbers of animal influenza viruses will help us understand the genetic basis of host adaptation and the extent of the natural reservoir of influenza viruses. Understanding influenza pandemics in general requires understanding the 1918 pandemic in all its historical, epidemiologic, and biologic aspects.

Morens† *Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rockville, Maryland, USA; and †National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA Suggested citation for this article The 'Spanish' influenza pandemic of 1918–1919, which caused ≈50 million deaths worldwide, remains an ominous warning to public health. Many questions about its origins, its unusual epidemiologic features, and the basis of its pathogenicity remain unanswered. The public health implications of the pandemic therefore remain in doubt even as we now grapple with the feared emergence of a pandemic caused by H5N1 or other virus. However, new information about the 1918 virus is emerging, for example, sequencing of the entire genome from archival autopsy tissues. But, the viral genome alone is unlikely to provide answers to some critical questions. Understanding the 1918 pandemic and its implications for future pandemics requires careful experimentation and in-depth historical analysis. 'Curiouser and curiouser!' cried Alice Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, 1865 An estimated one third of the world's population (or ≈500 million persons) were infected and had clinically apparent illnesses (1,2) during the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic. The disease was exceptionally severe. Case-fatality rates were >2.5%, compared to <0.1% in other influenza pandemics (3,4). Total deaths were estimated at ≈50 million (5–7) and were arguably as high as 100 million (7). The impact of this pandemic was not limited to 1918–1919. All influenza A pandemics since that time, and indeed almost all cases of influenza A worldwide (excepting human infections from avian viruses such as H5N1 and H7N7), have been caused by descendants of the 1918 virus, including 'drifted' H1N1 viruses and reassorted H2N2 and H3N2 viruses. The latter are composed of key genes from the 1918 virus, updated by subsequently incorporated avian influenza genes that code for novel surface proteins, making the 1918 virus indeed the 'mother' of all pandemics. In 1918, the cause of human influenza and its links to avian and swine influenza were unknown. Despite clinical and epidemiologic similarities to influenza pandemics of 1889, 1847, and even earlier, many questioned whether such an explosively fatal disease could be influenza at all. That question did not begin to be resolved until the 1930s, when closely related influenza viruses (now known to be H1N1 viruses) were isolated, first from pigs and shortly thereafter from humans. Seroepidemiologic studies soon linked both of these viruses to the 1918 pandemic (8). Subsequent research indicates that descendants of the 1918 virus still persists enzootically in pigs. They probably also circulated continuously in humans, undergoing gradual antigenic drift and causing annual epidemics, until the 1950s. With the appearance of a new H2N2 pandemic strain in 1957 ('Asian flu'), the direct H1N1 viral descendants of the 1918 pandemic strain disappeared from human circulation entirely, although the related lineage persisted enzootically in pigs. But in 1977, human H1N1 viruses suddenly 'reemerged' from a laboratory freezer (9). They continue to circulate endemically and epidemically. Thus in 2006, 2 major descendant lineages of the 1918 H1N1 virus, as well as 2 additional reassortant lineages, persist naturally: a human epidemic/endemic H1N1 lineage, a porcine enzootic H1N1 lineage (so-called classic swine flu), and the reassorted human H3N2 virus lineage, which like the human H1N1 virus, has led to a porcine H3N2 lineage. None of these viral descendants, however, approaches the pathogenicity of the 1918 parent virus. Apparently, the porcine H1N1 and H3N2 lineages uncommonly infect humans, and the human H1N1 and H3N2 lineages have both been associated with substantially lower rates of illness and death than the virus of 1918. In fact, current H1N1 death rates are even lower than those for H3N2 lineage strains (prevalent from 1968 until the present). H1N1 viruses descended from the 1918 strain, as well as H3N2 viruses, have now been cocirculating worldwide for 29 years and show little evidence of imminent extinction. Trying To Understand What Happened By the early 1990s, 75 years of research had failed to answer a most basic question about the 1918 pandemic: why was it so fatal? No virus from 1918 had been isolated, but all of its apparent descendants caused substantially milder human disease. Moreover, examination of mortality data from the 1920s suggests that within a few years after 1918, influenza epidemics had settled into a pattern of annual epidemicity associated with strain drifting and substantially lowered death rates. Did some critical viral genetic event produce a 1918 virus of remarkable pathogenicity and then other critical genetic event occur soon after the 1918 pandemic to produce an attenuated H1N1 virus? In 1995, a scientific team identified archival influenza autopsy materials collected in the autumn of 1918 and began the slow process of sequencing small viral RNA fragments to determine the genomic structure of the causative influenza virus (10). These efforts have now determined the complete genomic sequence of 1 virus and partial sequences from 4 others. The primary data from the above studies (11–17) and a number of reviews covering different aspects of the 1918 pandemic have recently been published (18–20) and confirm that the 1918 virus is the likely ancestor of all 4 of the human and swine H1N1 and H3N2 lineages, as well as the 'extinct' H2N2 lineage. No known mutations correlated with high pathogenicity in other human or animal influenza viruses have been found in the 1918 genome, but ongoing studies to map virulence factors are yielding interesting results. The 1918 sequence data, however, leave unanswered questions about the origin of the virus (19) and about the epidemiology of the pandemic. When and Where Did the 1918 Influenza Pandemic Arise? Before and after 1918, most influenza pandemics developed in Asia and spread from there to the rest of the world. Confounding definite assignment of a geographic point of origin, the 1918 pandemic spread more or less simultaneously in 3 distinct waves during an ≈12-month period in 1918–1919, in Europe, Asia, and North America (the first wave was best described in the United States in March 1918). Historical and epidemiologic data are inadequate to identify the geographic origin of the virus (21), and recent phylogenetic analysis of the 1918 viral genome does not place the virus in any geographic context (19).

Click to view enlarged image Figure 3. Influenza plus pneumonia (combined) age-specific incidence rates per 1,000 persons per age group... Although in 1918 influenza was not a nationally reportable disease and diagnostic criteria for influenza and pneumonia were vague, death rates from influenza and pneumonia in the United States had risen sharply in 1915 and 1916 because of a major respiratory disease epidemic beginning in December 1915 (22). Death rates then dipped slightly in 1917. The first pandemic influenza wave appeared in the spring of 1918, followed in rapid succession by much more fatal second and third waves in the fall and winter of 1918–1919, respectively (Figure 1). Is it possible that a poorly-adapted H1N1 virus was already beginning to spread in 1915, causing some serious illnesses but not yet sufficiently fit to initiate a pandemic? Data consistent with this possibility were reported at the time from European military camps (23), but a counter argument is that if a strain with a new hemagglutinin (HA) was causing enough illness to affect the US national death rates from pneumonia and influenza, it should have caused a pandemic sooner, and when it eventually did, in 1918, many people should have been immune or at least partially immunoprotected. 'Herald' events in 1915, 1916, and possibly even in early 1918, if they occurred, would be difficult to identify. The 1918 influenza pandemic had another unique feature, the simultaneous (or nearly simultaneous) infection of humans and swine. The virus of the 1918 pandemic likely expressed an antigenically novel subtype to which most humans and swine were immunologically naive in 1918 (12,20). Recently published sequence and phylogenetic analyses suggest that the genes encoding the HA and neuraminidase (NA) surface proteins of the 1918 virus were derived from an avianlike influenza virus shortly before the start of the pandemic and that the precursor virus had not circulated widely in humans or swine in the few decades before (12,15,24). More recent analyses of the other gene segments of the virus also support this conclusion. Regression analyses of human and swine influenza sequences obtained from 1930 to the present place the initial circulation of the 1918 precursor virus in humans at approximately 1915–1918 (20). Thus, the precursor was probably not circulating widely in humans until shortly before 1918, nor did it appear to have jumped directly from any species of bird studied to date (19). In summary, its origin remains puzzling. Were the 3 Waves in 1918–1919 Caused by the Same Virus? If So, How and Why? Historical records since the 16th century suggest that new influenza pandemics may appear at any time of year, not necessarily in the familiar annual winter patterns of interpandemic years, presumably because newly shifted influenza viruses behave differently when they find a universal or highly susceptible human population. Thereafter, confronted by the selection pressures of population immunity, these pandemic viruses begin to drift genetically and eventually settle into a pattern of annual epidemic recurrences caused by the drifted virus variants. In the 1918–1919 pandemic, a first or spring wave began in March 1918 and spread unevenly through the United States, Europe, and possibly Asia over the next 6 months (Figure 1). Illness rates were high, but death rates in most locales were not appreciably above normal. A second or fall wave spread globally from September to November 1918 and was highly fatal. In many nations, a third wave occurred in early 1919 (21). Clinical similarities led contemporary observers to conclude initially that they were observing the same disease in the successive waves. The milder forms of illness in all 3 waves were identical and typical of influenza seen in the 1889 pandemic and in prior interpandemic years. In retrospect, even the rapid progressions from uncomplicated influenza infections to fatal pneumonia, a hallmark of the 1918–1919 fall and winter waves, had been noted in the relatively few severe spring wave cases. The differences between the waves thus seemed to be primarily in the much higher frequency of complicated, severe, and fatal cases in the last 2 waves. But 3 extensive pandemic waves of influenza within 1 year, occurring in rapid succession, with only the briefest of quiescent intervals between them, was unprecedented. The occurrence, and to some extent the severity, of recurrent annual outbreaks, are driven by viral antigenic drift, with an antigenic variant virus emerging to become dominant approximately every 2 to 3 years. Without such drift, circulating human influenza viruses would presumably disappear once herd immunity had reached a critical threshold at which further virus spread was sufficiently limited. The timing and spacing of influenza epidemics in interpandemic years have been subjects of speculation for decades. Factors believed to be responsible include partial herd immunity limiting virus spread in all but the most favorable circumstances, which include lower environmental temperatures and human nasal temperatures (beneficial to thermolabile viruses such as influenza), optimal humidity, increased crowding indoors, and imperfect ventilation due to closed windows and suboptimal airflow. However, such factors cannot explain the 3 pandemic waves of 1918–1919, which occurred in the spring-summer, summer-fall, and winter (of the Northern Hemisphere), respectively. The first 2 waves occurred at a time of year normally unfavorable to influenza virus spread. The second wave caused simultaneous outbreaks in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres from September to November. Furthermore, the interwave periods were so brief as to be almost undetectable in some locales. Reconciling epidemiologically the steep drop in cases in the first and second waves with the sharp rises in cases of the second and third waves is difficult. Assuming even transient postinfection immunity, how could susceptible persons be too few to sustain transmission at 1 point and yet enough to start a new explosive pandemic wave a few weeks later? Could the virus have mutated profoundly and almost simultaneously around the world, in the short periods between the successive waves? Acquiring viral drift sufficient to produce new influenza strains capable of escaping population immunity is believed to take years of global circulation, not weeks of local circulation. And having occurred, such mutated viruses normally take months to spread around the world. At the beginning of other 'off season' influenza pandemics, successive distinct waves within a year have not been reported. The 1889 pandemic, for example, began in the late spring of 1889 and took several months to spread throughout the world, peaking in northern Europe and the United States late in 1889 or early in 1890. The second recurrence peaked in late spring 1891 (more than a year after the first pandemic appearance) and the third in early 1892 (21). As was true for the 1918 pandemic, the second 1891 recurrence produced of the most deaths. The 3 recurrences in 1889–1892, however, were spread over >3 years, in contrast to 1918–1919, when the sequential waves seen in individual countries were typically compressed into ≈8–9 months. What gave the 1918 virus the unprecedented ability to generate rapidly successive pandemic waves is unclear. Because the only 1918 pandemic virus samples we have yet identified are from second-wave patients (16), nothing can yet be said about whether the first (spring) wave, or for that matter, the third wave, represented circulation of the same virus or variants of it. Data from 1918 suggest that persons infected in the second wave may have been protected from influenza in the third wave. But the few data bearing on protection during the second and third waves after infection in the first wave are inconclusive and do little to resolve the question of whether the first wave was caused by the same virus or whether major genetic evolutionary events were occurring even as the pandemic exploded and progressed. Only influenza RNA–positive human samples from before 1918, and from all 3 waves, can answer this question. What Was the Animal Host Origin of the Pandemic Virus? Viral sequence data now suggest that the entire 1918 virus was novel to humans in, or shortly before, 1918, and that it thus was not a reassortant virus produced from old existing strains that acquired 1 or more new genes, such as those causing the 1957 and 1968 pandemics. On the contrary, the 1918 virus appears to be an avianlike influenza virus derived in toto from an unknown source (17,19), as its 8 genome segments are substantially different from contemporary avian influenza genes. Influenza virus gene sequences from a number of fixed specimens of wild birds collected circa 1918 show little difference from avian viruses isolated today, indicating that avian viruses likely undergo little antigenic change in their natural hosts even over long periods (24,25). For example, the 1918 nucleoprotein (NP) gene sequence is similar to that of viruses found in wild birds at the amino acid level but very divergent at the nucleotide level, which suggests considerable evolutionary distance between the sources of the 1918 NP and of currently sequenced NP genes in wild bird strains (13,19). One way of looking at the evolutionary distance of genes is to compare ratios of synonymous to nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions. A synonymous substitution represents a silent change, a nucleotide change in a codon that does not result in an amino acid replacement. A nonsynonymous substitution is a nucleotide change in a codon that results in an amino acid replacement. Generally, a viral gene subjected to immunologic drift pressure or adapting to a new host exhibits a greater percentage of nonsynonymous mutations, while a virus under little selective pressure accumulates mainly synonymous changes. Since little or no selection pressure is exerted on synonymous changes, they are thought to reflect evolutionary distance. Because the 1918 gene segments have more synonymous changes from known sequences of wild bird strains than expected, they are unlikely to have emerged directly from an avian influenza virus similar to those that have been sequenced so far. This is especially apparent when one examines the differences at 4-fold degenerate codons, the subset of synonymous changes in which, at the third codon position, any of the 4 possible nucleotides can be substituted without changing the resulting amino acid. At the same time, the 1918 sequences have too few amino acid differences from those of wild-bird strains to have spent many years adapting only in a human or swine intermediate host. One possible explanation is that these unusual gene segments were acquired from a reservoir of influenza virus that has not yet been identified or sampled. All of these findings beg the question: where did the 1918 virus come from? In contrast to the genetic makeup of the 1918 pandemic virus, the novel gene segments of the reassorted 1957 and 1968 pandemic viruses all originated in Eurasian avian viruses (26); both human viruses arose by the same mechanism—reassortment of a Eurasian wild waterfowl strain with the previously circulating human H1N1 strain. Proving the hypothesis that the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic had a markedly different origin requires samples of human influenza strains circulating before 1918 and samples of influenza strains in the wild that more closely resemble the 1918 sequences. What Was the Biological Basis for 1918 Pandemic Virus Pathogenicity? Sequence analysis alone does not offer clues to the pathogenicity of the 1918 virus. A series of experiments are under way to model virulence in vitro and in animal models by using viral constructs containing 1918 genes produced by reverse genetics. Influenza virus infection requires binding of the HA protein to sialic acid receptors on host cell surface. The HA receptor-binding site configuration is different for those influenza viruses adapted to infect birds and those adapted to infect humans. Influenza virus strains adapted to birds preferentially bind sialic acid receptors with α (2–3) linked sugars (27–29). Human-adapted influenza viruses are thought to preferentially bind receptors with α (2–6) linkages. The switch from this avian receptor configuration requires of the virus only 1 amino acid change, and the HAs of all 5 sequenced 1918 viruses have this change, which suggests that it could be a critical step in human host adaptation. A second change that greatly augments virus binding to the human receptor may also occur, but only 3 of 5 1918 HA sequences have it (16). This means that at least 2 H1N1 receptor-binding variants cocirculated in 1918: 1 with high-affinity binding to the human receptor and 1 with mixed-affinity binding to both avian and human receptors. No geographic or chronologic indication exists to suggest that one of these variants was the precursor of the other, nor are there consistent differences between the case histories or histopathologic features of the 5 patients infected with them. Whether the viruses were equally transmissible in 1918, whether they had identical patterns of replication in the respiratory tree, and whether one or both also circulated in the first and third pandemic waves, are unknown. In a series of in vivo experiments, recombinant influenza viruses containing between 1 and 5 gene segments of the 1918 virus have been produced. Those constructs bearing the 1918 HA and NA are all highly pathogenic in mice (31). Furthermore, expression microarray analysis performed on whole lung tissue of mice infected with the 1918 HA/NA recombinant showed increased upregulation of genes involved in apoptosis, tissue injury, and oxidative damage (32). These findings are unexpected because the viruses with the 1918 genes had not been adapted to mice; control experiments in which mice were infected with modern human viruses showed little disease and limited viral replication. The lungs of animals infected with the 1918 HA/NA construct showed bronchial and alveolar epithelial necrosis and a marked inflammatory infiltrate, which suggests that the 1918 HA (and possibly the NA) contain virulence factors for mice. The viral genotypic basis of this pathogenicity is not yet mapped. Whether pathogenicity in mice effectively models pathogenicity in humans is unclear. The potential role of the other 1918 proteins, singularly and in combination, is also unknown. Experiments to map further the genetic basis of virulence of the 1918 virus in various animal models are planned. These experiments may help define the viral component to the unusual pathogenicity of the 1918 virus but cannot address whether specific host factors in 1918 accounted for unique influenza mortality patterns. Why Did the 1918 Virus Kill So Many Healthy Young Adults? The curve of influenza deaths by age at death has historically, for at least 150 years, been U-shaped (Figure 2), exhibiting mortality peaks in the very young and the very old, with a comparatively low frequency of deaths at all ages in between. In contrast, age-specific death rates in the 1918 pandemic exhibited a distinct pattern that has not been documented before or since: a 'W-shaped' curve, similar to the familiar U-shaped curve but with the addition of a third (middle) distinct peak of deaths in young adults ≈20–40 years of age. Influenza and pneumonia death rates for those 15–34 years of age in 1918–1919, for example, were >20 times higher than in previous years (35). Overall, nearly half of the influenza-related deaths in the 1918 pandemic were in young adults 20–40 years of age, a phenomenon unique to that pandemic year. The 1918 pandemic is also unique among influenza pandemics in that absolute risk of influenza death was higher in those <65 years of age than in those >65; persons <65 years of age accounted for >99% of all excess influenza-related deaths in 1918–1919. In comparison, the <65-year age group accounted for 36% of all excess influenza-related deaths in the 1957 H2N2 pandemic and 48% in the 1968 H3N2 pandemic (33). A sharper perspective emerges when 1918 age-specific influenza morbidity rates (21) are used to adjust the W-shaped mortality curve (Figure 3, panels, A, B, and C [35,37]). Persons <35 years of age in 1918 had a disproportionately high influenza incidence (Figure 3, panel A). But even after adjusting age-specific deaths by age-specific clinical attack rates (Figure 3, panel B), a W-shaped curve with a case-fatality peak in young adults remains and is significantly different from U-shaped age-specific case-fatality curves typically seen in other influenza years, e.g., 1928–1929 (Figure 3, panel C). Also, in 1918 those 5 to 14 years of age accounted for a disproportionate number of influenza cases, but had a much lower death rate from influenza and pneumonia than other age groups. To explain this pattern, we must look beyond properties of the virus to host and environmental factors, possibly including immunopathology (e.g., antibody-dependent infection enhancement associated with prior virus exposures [38]) and exposure to risk cofactors such as coinfecting agents, medications, and environmental agents. One theory that may partially explain these findings is that the 1918 virus had an intrinsically high virulence, tempered only in those patients who had been born before 1889, e.g., because of exposure to a then-circulating virus capable of providing partial immunoprotection against the 1918 virus strain only in persons old enough (>35 years) to have been infected during that prior era (35). But this theory would present an additional paradox: an obscure precursor virus that left no detectable trace today would have had to have appeared and disappeared before 1889 and then reappeared more than 3 decades later. Epidemiologic data on rates of clinical influenza by age, collected between 1900 and 1918, provide good evidence for the emergence of an antigenically novel influenza virus in 1918 (21). Jordan showed that from 1900 to 1917, the 5- to 15-year age group accounted for 11% of total influenza cases, while the >65-year age group accounted for 6% of influenza cases. But in 1918, cases in the 5- to 15-year-old group jumped to 25% of influenza cases (compatible with exposure to an antigenically novel virus strain), while the >65 age group only accounted for 0.6% of the influenza cases, findings consistent with previously acquired protective immunity caused by an identical or closely related viral protein to which older persons had once been exposed. Mortality data are in accord. In 1918, persons >75 years had lower influenza and pneumonia case-fatality rates than they had during the prepandemic period of 1911–1917. At the other end of the age spectrum (Figure 2), a high proportion of deaths in infancy and early childhood in 1918 mimics the age pattern, if not the mortality rate, of other influenza pandemics. Could a 1918-like Pandemic Appear Again? If So, What Could We Do About It? In its disease course and pathologic features, the 1918 pandemic was different in degree, but not in kind, from previous and subsequent pandemics. Despite the extraordinary number of global deaths, most influenza cases in 1918 (>95% in most locales in industrialized nations) were mild and essentially indistinguishable from influenza cases today. Furthermore, laboratory experiments with recombinant influenza viruses containing genes from the 1918 virus suggest that the 1918 and 1918-like viruses would be as sensitive as other typical virus strains to the Food and Drug Administration–approved antiinfluenza drugs rimantadine and oseltamivir. However, some characteristics of the 1918 pandemic appear unique: most notably, death rates were 5–20 times higher than expected. Clinically and pathologically, these high death rates appear to be the result of several factors, including a higher proportion of severe and complicated infections of the respiratory tract, rather than involvement of organ systems outside the normal range of the influenza virus. Also, the deaths were concentrated in an unusually young age group. Finally, in 1918, 3 separate recurrences of influenza followed each other with unusual rapidity, resulting in 3 explosive pandemic waves within a year's time (Figure 1). Each of these unique characteristics may reflect genetic features of the 1918 virus, but understanding them will also require examination of host and environmental factors. Until we can ascertain which of these factors gave rise to the mortality patterns observed and learn more about the formation of the pandemic, predictions are only educated guesses. We can only conclude that since it happened once, analogous conditions could lead to an equally devastating pandemic. Like the 1918 virus, H5N1 is an avian virus (39), though a distantly related one. The evolutionary path that led to pandemic emergence in 1918 is entirely unknown, but it appears to be different in many respects from the current situation with H5N1. There are no historical data, either in 1918 or in any other pandemic, for establishing that a pandemic 'precursor' virus caused a highly pathogenic outbreak in domestic poultry, and no highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus, including H5N1 and a number of others, has ever been known to cause a major human epidemic, let alone a pandemic. While data bearing on influenza virus human cell adaptation (e.g., receptor binding) are beginning to be understood at the molecular level, the basis for viral adaptation to efficient human-to-human spread, the chief prerequisite for pandemic emergence, is unknown for any influenza virus. The 1918 virus acquired this trait, but we do not know how, and we currently have no way of knowing whether H5N1 viruses are now in a parallel process of acquiring human-to-human transmissibility. Despite an explosion of data on the 1918 virus during the past decade, we are not much closer to understanding pandemic emergence in 2006 than we were in understanding the risk of H1N1 'swine flu' emergence in 1976. Even with modern antiviral and antibacterial drugs, vaccines, and prevention knowledge, the return of a pandemic virus equivalent in pathogenicity to the virus of 1918 would likely kill >100 million people worldwide. A pandemic virus with the (alleged) pathogenic potential of some recent H5N1 outbreaks could cause substantially more deaths. Whether because of viral, host or environmental factors, the 1918 virus causing the first or ‘spring' wave was not associated with the exceptional pathogenicity of the second (fall) and third (winter) waves. Identification of an influenza RNA-positive case from the first wave could point to a genetic basis for virulence by allowing differences in viral sequences to be highlighted. Identification of pre-1918 human influenza RNA samples would help us understand the timing of emergence of the 1918 virus. Surveillance and genomic sequencing of large numbers of animal influenza viruses will help us understand the genetic basis of host adaptation and the extent of the natural reservoir of influenza viruses. Understanding influenza pandemics in general requires understanding the 1918 pandemic in all its historical, epidemiologic, and biologic aspects.

• Anglo-American Genocide The 'Big One' is coming, experts say. The growing H1N1-H5N1 recombined flu pandemic implicates the Anglo-American Vaccine Pipeline, proves world leading consumer health protector, Dr. Leonard Horowitz, using documents published by implicated officials. Dr. Horowitz reports here on the leading Anglo-American network of genetic engineers manipulating, mutating, and distributing the pandemic flu viruses. The evidence compels you, for the benefit of public health and safety to seriously consider, even decree, a conspiracy to commit genocide, according to this Harvard trained expert in 'psychological operations' and emerging diseases. Here, Dr. Horowitz exposes Dr. James S. Robertson, England's leading bioengineer of flu viruses for the vaccine industry, and avid promoter of U.S. Government funding for lucrative biodefense contracts. This presentation supplements Dr. Horowitz's SPECIAL REPORT on the 'Mexican Flu' in which he focused on Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, receiving from Dr. Robertson, through the 'vaccine pipeline,' genetically-modified recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, nearly identical to the unprecedented Mexican virus is reportedly making its way back in the Fall in the form of 'The Big One.' This production, with supplemental reading at www.fluscam.com, is a prologue to Dr. Horowitz's forthcoming SPECIAL REPORT II--a segment that condemns the American Baxter Corporation that England, and other European nations, has entrusted to supply vaccine stockpiles against the developing pandemic. Few people realize how utterly murderous Baxter has been, and how taking their vaccines assures profitable depopulation for the drug cartel.  
• Baxter Expects To Deliver A/H1 Baxter Expects To Deliver A/H1N1 Vaccine To WHO By July * Should you take the vaccine for A/H1N1? I don’t think so. What are the consequences?

• BaxterCorporation's "Accident" Experts are declaring 2009, the year of the 'Big One.' The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised its 'risk' rating to the highest level '6,' expecting by the Fall, massive disease and skyrocketing death rates. Who are these people, and are they truly serving in the best interests of public health, science, and safety? You may be shocked to learn what is detailed in this film. The growing H1N1-H5N1 recombined flu pandemic implicates a British (Anglo-) American 'vaccine pipeline' that promises to inject, infect, and intoxicate every American, and billions elsewhere by 2010, to serve economic and depopulation agendas. Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a world leading consumer health activist, provides documented evidence that this pandemic is classic GENOCIDE--the mass killing and/or enslaving of people for profit, politics and/or ideology. Dr. Horowitz reports here on the dark history of the Baxter company, a leading vaccine producer, now stockpiling the UK and European nations, that 'accidentally' spread the most deadly avian flu viruses across Europe just a few months ago. The 'accident' was perfectly timed to prompt recombinations of the spreading Mexican Flu, bolstered by another 'accident' that occurred in a train traveling in Switzerland. In other words, global population were 'primed' by those who direct the world's 'biodefenses' against this rapidly mutating, genetic engineered 'Swine Flu, 2009.' Earlier, in his 'Mexican Flu: Special Report,' and additionally in Part I of this series, Dr. Horowitz exposed Dr. James S. Robertson, England's leading bioengineer of flu viruses for the vaccine industry, and avid promoter of U.S. Government funding for lucrative biodefense contracts. He focused on Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, receiving from Dr. Robertson, through the 'vaccine pipeline,' genetically-modified recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, descriptively identical to what Reuters News Corporation reported about the unprecedented Mexican virus when it emerged. This production, with supplemental reading at www.fluscam.com, is intended to save millions of lives by sharing little known truths that can free humanity from petro-pharmaceutical toxicity and profitable depopulation advanced by the drug cartel.

• Kids on psychiatric drugs Big Pharma Bribes Doctors to Hook Your Kids on Drugs * Corruption is endemic in the pharmaceutical industry in America. Big Pharma is corrupting doctors to further their greed. Profit comes first, ethics, well being of patients are secondary. Too many doctors are caught in this web of greed. Bruce E. Levine reports : Americans must start to question the legitimacy of the exploitative pharmaceutical-industrial complex and the predatory people atop them. “The wave of evil washes all our institutions alike.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson The wave of evil washes not only the financial-industrial complex, the military-industrial complex, the energy-industrial complex, and predatory executives at AIG, Citibank, Halliburton, Blackwater/Xe, Enron, and Exxon. The pharmaceutical-industrial complex has virtually annexed the mental health profession, whose all-star opportunist team is captained by Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Biederman, the high-profile doctor most responsible for the explosion of kids on psychiatric drugs, first for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and then for bipolar disorder.

• Swine Flu and Tamiflu Swine Flu and Tamiflu Just wash your hands. Every year, hundreds of viruses pass through the pediatric and adult community. Many of the bugs are disruptive and keep kids out of school and adults away from work. Some of the viruses have unique signs and symptoms, but most just cause amorphous aches, sneezing, coughing or intestinal upset. Influenza viruses, especially new ones, trigger more news stories and can be made to seem much more frightening and dangerous than they really are. Government agencies and media don't supply statistical context and make it sound like you've got a 'fifty-fifty' chance of contracting this new virus. They then make it sound like a lot of people who get this influenza end up in the hospital and may die. Statistically, nothing could be further from the truth: The chance that the new virus is really dangerous is small. The chance that you'll get it is much, much smaller, and the possibility that you or a family member will be harmed by the virus is so slim that the news should be on page twenty, not page one. Swine Flu is a virus for which there is no vaccine, little to no threat to your family, and there are undoubtedly tens of thousands of harmless undiagnosed cases throughout the world. The news stories are probably taking a hundred questionable respiratory deaths in Mexico and guessing. There actually is a very, very small chance that this virus could cause severe illness and whenever this occurs hospitalization and even fatalities are reported. The likelihood of a pandemic is miniscule, but newspapers, government agencies and the manufacturers of pharmaceuticals do their best work and make their biggest sales when people are scared. Broadcast media get major sponsorship from the pharmaceutical industry and do not always present the 'other side' of the story. Tamiflu is recommended for treatment and prevention of this influenza virus. Local pharmacies are already running low on Tamiflu. Connect these dots. http://uk.reuters.com/article/governmentFilingsNews/ idUKN2445216420090424 http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/tamiflu.asp http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSTRE53O17O20090425 http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid= 200904251215dowjonesdjonline000319&title=who-says-initial-findings-show- swine-flu-responds-to-tamiflu The usual boring admonitions apply: wash your hands, stay well-rested and well-hydrated. You do not need to buy Tamiflu. It is an effective antiviral drug but has possible side effects. http://health.howstuffworks.com/health-illness/treatment/medicine/ medications/tamiflu-psych.htm As far as our office prescribing Tamiflu, we would rather not, but we will if you insist.

• Depopulation! - US 666 I am not sure what to make of this. But it is interesting. If you trust Big Pharma or the Illuminati ruling elite, you may want to go for a lobotomy. The signs are there: Depopulation! Cryptogon reports : This one is absolutely exploding around the intertubes this morning. I don’t know where it started but someone found a datasheet about a vaccine called Prepandrix that’s made by GlaxoSmithKline. This thing contains the following entries: Regulatory/Status Index: biodefense stockpile (U.S.) biodefense stockpile, European countries controlled/gov’t distribution in European counties controlled/gov’t distribution in U.S. EU200 Currently Approved in EU EU666 Biodefense stockpile UM100 Controlled/Gov’t Distribution in US US666 Biodefense stockpile EM160 Controlled/Gov’t Distribution in EU Now, I’m not taking any vaccine regardless of what number sequences are associated with it, but let’s clear something up: PREPANDRIX IS A BIRD FLU VACCINE. Bird flu. H5N1. Not swine flu, H1N1. The EU666 and US666 status codes are also associated with a smallpox vaccine, and on a more individual basis, about two dozen other substances. Maybe it’s interesting that vaccines that are stockpiled for “biodefense” purposes carry the 666 designation, but for purposes of the swine flue H1N1 vaccination that will be coming out in a few months, this US666 and EU666 wouldn’t apply because it hasn’t been stockpiled; it’s new. Out of curiosity, I tried to determine what EU666 and US666 mean beyond the phrase “Biodefense stockpile” that appears next to the entries.

• THE H1N1 SWINE FLU PANDEMIC. SELECTED ARTICLES, NEWS REPORTS, ANALYSIS AND VIDEOS (SCROLL DOWN) Global Research Editor's Note We bring to the attention of our readers a collection of in-depth reports and articles on the H1N1 Flu Pandemic, published by Global Research since the outbreak of the crisis in Mexico in April. "The U.S. expects to have 160 million doses of swine flu vaccine available sometime in October", (Associated Press, 23 July 2009) "Vaccine makers could produce 4.9 billion pandemic flu shots per year in the best-case scenario", Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO), quoted by Reuters, 21 July 2009) Wealthier countries such as the U.S. and Britain will pay just under $10 per dose [of the H1N1 flu vaccine]. ... Developing countries will pay a lower price." [circa $400 billion for Big Pharma] (Business Week, July 2009) The Worldwide H1N1 swine flu pandemic serves to mislead public opinion. The 2009 pandemic, which started in Mexico in April, is timely: it coincides with a deepening economic depression. It takes place at a time of military escalation. The epidemiological data is fabricated, falsified and manipulated. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an epidemic of worldwide proportions now looms and threatens the livelihood of "2 billion people [who] could become infected over the next two years — nearly one-third of the world population." (World Health Organization as reported by the Western media, July 2009). According to the Obama adminstration, the "swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans ... and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren't successful." (Official Statement of the US Administration, Associated Press, 24 July 2009). These statements serve to mislead public opinion. There is ample evidence, documented in numerous reports, that the WHO's level 6 pandemic alert is based on fabricated evidence and a manipulation of the figures on mortality and morbidity resulting from the N1H1 swine flu. The Pandemic serves the interests of Big Pharma. The WHO is planning for the production of 4.9 billion dose, enough to inoculate a large share of the World's population. Big Pharma including Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis and AstraZeneca have signed procurement contracts with some 50 governments. (Reuters, July 16, 2009). For these companies, compulsory vaccination is a highly lucrative undertaking: The Role of the Military According to CNN, the Pentagon is "to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials." "The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command's Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary. The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military. It has yet to be determined how many troops would be needed and whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces. Civilian authorities would lead any relief efforts in the event of a major outbreak, the official said. The military, as they would for a natural disaster or other significant emergency situation, could provide support and fulfill any tasks that civilian authorities could not, such as air transport or testing of large numbers of viral samples from infected patients. As a first step, Gates is being asked to sign a so-called "execution order" that would authorize the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute the proposed plan. Orders to deploy actual forces would be reviewed later, depending on how much of a health threat the flu poses this fall, the officials said." (CNN, Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak, July 2009, emphasis added) The implications are far-reaching. The decision points towards the militarization of civilian institutions, including law enforcement and public health. A nationwide vaccination program is already planned for the Fall. The pharmaceutical industry is slated to deliver 160 million vaccine doses by the Fall, enough doses to vaccinate more than half of America's population. The Pentagon is already planning on the number of troops to be deployed,. with a view to supporting a mass vaccinaiton program. It is worth noting that this involvement of the military is not being decided by the President, but by the Secretary of Defense, which suggests that the Pentagon is, in a key issue of of national interest, overriding the President and Commander in Chief. The US Congress has not been consulted on the issue. This decision to mobilise the Armed Forces in the vaccination campaign is taken in anticipation of a national emergency. Although no national emergency has been called, the presumption is that a national public health emergency will occur, using the WHO Level 6 Pandemic as a pretext and a justification. Other countries, including Canada, the UK and France may follow suit, calling upon their Armed Forces to play a role in support of the H1N1 vaccination program.

Developing countries will pay a lower price.' [circa $400 billion for Big Pharma] (Business Week, July 2009) The Worldwide H1N1 swine flu pandemic serves to mislead public opinion. The 2009 pandemic, which started in Mexico in April, is timely: it coincides with a deepening economic depression. It takes place at a time of military escalation. The epidemiological data is fabricated, falsified and manipulated. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an epidemic of worldwide proportions now looms and threatens the livelihood of '2 billion people [who] could become infected over the next two years — nearly one-third of the world population.' (World Health Organization as reported by the Western media, July 2009). According to the Obama adminstration, the 'swine flu could strike up to 40 percent of Americans ... and as many as several hundred thousand could die if a vaccine campaign and other measures aren't successful.' (Official Statement of the US Administration, Associated Press, 24 July 2009). These statements serve to mislead public opinion. There is ample evidence, documented in numerous reports, that the WHO's level 6 pandemic alert is based on fabricated evidence and a manipulation of the figures on mortality and morbidity resulting from the N1H1 swine flu. The Pandemic serves the interests of Big Pharma. The WHO is planning for the production of 4.9 billion dose, enough to inoculate a large share of the World's population. Big Pharma including Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis and AstraZeneca have signed procurement contracts with some 50 governments. (Reuters, July 16, 2009). For these companies, compulsory vaccination is a highly lucrative undertaking: The Role of the Military According to CNN, the Pentagon is 'to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.' 'The proposal is awaiting final approval from Defense Secretary Robert Gates. The officials would not be identified because the proposal from U.S. Northern Command's Gen. Victor Renuart has not been approved by the secretary. The plan calls for military task forces to work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. There is no final decision on how the military effort would be manned, but one source said it would likely include personnel from all branches of the military. It has yet to be determined how many troops would be needed and whether they would come from the active duty or the National Guard and Reserve forces. Civilian authorities would lead any relief efforts in the event of a major outbreak, the official said. The military, as they would for a natural disaster or other significant emergency situation, could provide support and fulfill any tasks that civilian authorities could not, such as air transport or testing of large numbers of viral samples from infected patients. As a first step, Gates is being asked to sign a so-called 'execution order' that would authorize the military to begin to conduct the detailed planning to execute the proposed plan. Orders to deploy actual forces would be reviewed later, depending on how much of a health threat the flu poses this fall, the officials said.' (CNN, Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak, July 2009, emphasis added) The implications are far-reaching. The decision points towards the militarization of civilian institutions, including law enforcement and public health. A nationwide vaccination program is already planned for the Fall. The pharmaceutical industry is slated to deliver 160 million vaccine doses by the Fall, enough doses to vaccinate more than half of America's population. The Pentagon is already planning on the number of troops to be deployed,. with a view to supporting a mass vaccinaiton program. It is worth noting that this involvement of the military is not being decided by the President, but by the Secretary of Defense, which suggests that the Pentagon is, in a key issue of of national interest, overriding the President and Commander in Chief. The US Congress has not been consulted on the issue. This decision to mobilise the Armed Forces in the vaccination campaign is taken in anticipation of a national emergency. Although no national emergency has been called, the presumption is that a national public health emergency will occur, using the WHO Level 6 Pandemic as a pretext and a justification. Other countries, including Canada, the UK and France may follow suit, calling upon their Armed Forces to play a role in support of the H1N1 vaccination program.

• DR.LEN HOROWITZ DVD's/VIDEO's  Obama administration health care reformers say health care reform is more than a social imperative it is an economic necessity. Little do people know that health reformers are on track for murdering millions of Americans. Health care reform is a gross deception perpetrated by political prostitutes of pharmaceutical special interests purposely neglecting alternative and complementary health practices for profitability and population control. Vested interests in maintaining public ignorance despise alternative and complementary health practices proven safe and effective in improving health status, patient satisfaction, employee health, expanded benefits, corporate savings, and widespread economic earnings through reduced absenteeism and better morale in workplaces worldwide. So rather than heralding these scientifically proven facts, and grant the American people and U.S. economy serious relief, all Democrats and Republicans offer is more of the same deceptive rhetoric. Dr. Leonard Horowitz is a world leading health advocate for the people. His numerous publications and presentations speak to his more than 30 years of service as a governmental watchdog and pharmaceutical industry whistle blower. Here the retired dentist turned public health expert lends his support to transforming American healthcare, and even world health, using the State of New Mexico's recently enacted 'Unlicenced Complementary and Alternative Health Practice Act' that frees people, patients and professionals alike, to exercise their God-given right to accessing natural healing methods and materials provided by those intelligent enough to cherish them. Help spread this important film across the United States, Canada, and world to help save lives, wake people up to what is really 'going down' in Washington, and co-create a health care system based on decency and intelligence rather than hypocrisy and official malfeasance.

  The antiviral drug, which is being handed out to hundreds of thousands of Britons, can also produce stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea, research suggests. A study found that almost one in five youngsters experience neuropsychiatric side effects, such as poor concentration, confusion, and sleeping problems.
  Thousands of schoolchildren were given the drug as a preventive measure during the early stages of the swine flu pandemic in Britain. The findings are likely to lead to concern among parents that their children's performance at school has been jeopardised by taking the drug. Only people with suspected or confirmed swine flu are now being prescribed Tamiflu, and around 150,000 packs have been distributed by the newly launched National Pandemic Flu Service in the past week alone. Two studies from experts at the Health Protection Agency (HPA) showed a "high proportion" of British schoolchildren reporting problems after taking Tamiflu.
  Data was gathered from children at three schools in London and one in south west England who were given Tamiflu earlier this year after classmates became infected. One study, of 248 children aged 11 and 12 at a school in south west England, which was closed after a pupil contracted the virus, found that more than half suffered side effects from taking Tamiflu. The report said: "Fifty-one per cent experienced symptoms, such as feeling sick (31.2 per cent), headaches (24.3 per cent) and stomach ache (21.1 per cent). "Although some children were ill with flu-like symptoms, those tested did not have A (H1N1) v (swine flu) infection." The researchers said "likely side-effects were common" and the "burden of side-effects needs to be considered" when deciding on giving Tamiflu to children prophylactically. Another study of 103 schoolchildren found 45 suffered side-effects such as nausea, stomach pain, problems sleeping, vomiting and diarrhoea. Almost one in five (18 per cent) reported a neuropsychiatric side effect, such as poor concentration, inability to think clearly, problems sleeping, feeling dazed or confused and nightmares. The report concluded: "This may be of particular concern to exam-year students (and their parents)." The studies were carried out in the early stages of the pandemic, when everyone sharing a classroom with a child who developed swine flu was given the drug, even if they showed no symptoms. The findings were disclosed as it emerged that Japanese authorities are advising doctors not to prescribe Tamiflu to youngsters aged 10 to 19 over fears of neuropsychiatric side effects. A statement from Roche, which manufactures Tamiflu, said the contribution of Tamiflu to neuropsychiatric effects "has not been established". A spokeswoman for the Department of Health said: "As is the case with many medicines, nausea is a known side effect of Tamiflu, in a small number of cases. "Symptoms may lessen over the course of the treatment, and it may help to take Tamiflu either with or immediately after food, and drinking some of water may also lessen any feeling of nausea." The research comes after the Government said the number of swine flu cases "may have plateaued", with 110,000 new cases in England last week. ' >Bij Effecten van Tamiflu Tamiflu 'linked to side effects among children', reports find More than half of children taking Tamiflu to combat swine flu suffer side effects such as nausea, insomnia and nightmares, new research claims.

• DaklozenOverlijdenNaVaccinatie Homeless people die after bird flu vaccine trial in Poland By Matthew Day in Warsaw Published: 4:37PM BST 02 Jul 2008 Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution after a number of homeless people died following medical trials for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus. The medical staff, from the northern town of Grudziadz, are being investigated over medical trials on as many as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus. Authorities claim that the alleged victims received £1-2 to be tested with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but, according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug. The director of a Grudziadz homeless centre, Mieczyslaw Waclawski, told a Polish newspaper that last year, 21 people from his centre died, a figure well above the average of about eight. Although authorities have yet to prove a direct link between the deaths and the activities of the medical staff, Poland's health minister, Ewa Kopacz, has said that the doctors and nurses involved should not return to their profession. 'It is in the interests of all doctors that those who are responsible for this are punished,' the minister added. Investigators are also probing the possibility that the medical staff may have also have deceived the pharmaceutical companies that commissioned the trials. The suspects said that the all those involved knew that the trial involved an anti-H5N1 drug and willingly participated. The news of the investigation will come as another blow to the reputation of Poland's beleaguered and poverty-stricken national health service. In 2002, a number of ambulance medics were found guilty of killing their patients for commissions from funeral companies.

• Monsanto Lobbyist/Food Safety Obama Puts Monsanto Lobbyist In Charge Of Food Safety Alexis Baden-Mayer, Esq. Organic Consumers Association Friday, July 24, 2009 Genetically modified foods are not safe. The only reason they’re in our food supply is because government bureaucrats with ties to industry suppressed or manipulated scientific research and deprived consumers of the information they need to make informed choices about whether or not to eat genetically modified foods. Now, the Obama Administration is putting two notorious biotech bullies in charge of food safety! Former Monsanto lobbyist Michael Taylor has been appointed as a senior adviser to the Food and Drug Administration Commissioner on food safety. And, rBGH-using dairy farmer and Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff is rumored to be President Obama’s choice for Under-Secretary of Agriculture for Food Safety. Wolfe spearheaded anti-consumer legislation in Pennsylvania that would have taken away the rights of consumers to know whether their milk and dairy products were contaminated with Monsanto’s (now Eli Lilly’s) genetically engineered Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH).

• Understanding Antivirin Understanding Antivirin
  Treating Viruses Studies have shown that taking a supplement containing black elderberry may be beneficial to help boost the immune system at times when it may be weakened, such as when suffering with a cold, flu or other viruses. A study using an elderberry extract (Zakay-Rones 1995) showed inhibition of several flu viruses in vitro.
  An Antiviral Agent - ‘Antivirin’
  Viruses are unable to multiply on their own and need to be inside healthy cells to do so. To help them enter a cell some viruses are coated with haemagglutinin spikes. Black Elderberry Extract is believed to contain an antiviral agent, ‘Antivirin’ which can help neutralise the activity of the haemagglutinin spikes. When these spikes are deactivated the viruses can no longer pierce cell walls to enter the cell and replicate.

• NIET minder griepcomplicaties! Geen bewijs voor minder griepcomplicaties door oseltamivir Luc Bonneux Sinds 7 augustus heeft men het Nederlandse beleid in verband met de Mexicaanse griep bijgesteld en wordt de behandeling met griepremmers, dat wil zeggen met neuraminidaseremmers, alleen nog aangeraden bij patiënten die een verhoogd risico lopen: zwangeren in het derde trimester, patiënten die een oproep voor de jaarlijkse griepprik krijgen, kinderen jonger dan 2 jaar en mensen met een ernstige immuunstoornis of een gecompliceerd verloop van de griep (www.rivm.nl/cib/actueel/nieuws/beleid-aangepast.jsp).1 Neuraminidaseremmers werken profylactisch, waarbij men het klinische en maatschappelijke nut van bescherming van gezonde personen tegen een banale griep moet afwegen tegen de kosten en bijwerkingen van in dit geval oseltamivir.2 Meer dan de helft van de schoolkinderen die profylactisch oseltamivir kregen, rapporteerden bijwerkingen en vooral bij jongere kinderen stopte men met het gebruik van dit middel.3 Voor de behandeling bij symptomatische griep zijn neuraminidaseremmers weinig effectief, niet kosteneffectief en hebben ze een onzekere klinische betekenis.4-6 In dit commentaar reageer ik op de verkondigde stelling dat neuraminidaseremmers ernstige complicaties bij griep kunnen voorkomen (www.rivm.nl/cib/binaries/NeuraminidaseremmersBijPandemieDoorNieuweInfluenza-v1.4a_tcm92-61884.pdf#%20class). In mijn ogen is deze stelling zwak onderbouwd door slechts één studie over oseltamivir,7 die zo voordelig mogelijk wordt voorgesteld zonder enige methodologische of statistische evaluatie. Daarom beschrijf ik eerst deze studie en haar resultaten meer in detail. Methodologische bezwaren De aangehaalde studie is gefinancierd en uitgevoerd door Roche, een partij met belangen in dit debat. Het betreft een meta-analyse van 10 kleinere studies, die niet als meta-analyse is geanalyseerd. De data worden geaggregeerd en de gegevens gepresenteerd na vaststelling van de serologische status. Er wordt geen ‘intention to treat’-analyse gegeven. Ook wordt geen informatie gegeven over de individuele studies; de referenties verwijzen naar abstracts en conferentieverslagen. De onevenwichtige verdeling in de gezonde bevolking tussen de controle- en de oseltamivirgroep in de studie kan niet worden verklaard door toeval (tabel). Er wordt daar nergens opheldering over gegeven. De interventiegroep met oseltamivir was gemiddeld 40 jaar en gemiddeld 4,5 jaar jonger dan de placebogroep (44,5 jaar). Maar het is bekend dat de kans op ziekenhuisopname na het krijgen van griep 6 maal zo groot is bij 50-64-jarigen als bij 5-49-jarigen:8 een verschil in leeftijd van 5 jaar kan een toename van complicaties met 80% verklaren. In de studie wordt niet statistisch gecorrigeerd voor dit verschil. Bovendien zijn er geen verdere klinische gegevens die aantonen dat beide onderzoekspopulaties vergelijkbaar zijn. Resultaten bij gezonde personen De tabel toont de gegevens uit de studie, met in de 2 eerste cijferkolommen een herschikking van de resultaten als intention-to-treatanalyse. De toediening van neuraminidaseremmers werd al gestart bij een griepachtig syndroom, niet na een serologisch bevestigde influenza-infectie. Waar de werking van neuraminidaseremmers beperkt is tot griep, zijn de bijwerkingen dat niet: zo kan frequent braken leiden tot een ziekenhuisopname. Bij gezonde personen met griepachtige symptomen had oseltamivir geen effect op de ziekenhuisopnames. Het aantal longontstekingen was te klein om daar enige uitspraak over te doen. Om 1 geval van bronchitis te voorkomen, moeten in de intention-to-treatanalyse 60 (95%-BI: 42-227) gezonde personen met griepachtige symptomen worden behandeld met oseltamivir (= 1/(33/940–26/1418). Dit effect is statistisch significant; de oddsratio (OR) voor bronchitis bij behandeling met oseltamivir is: 0,51 (95%-BI: 0,31-0,87). Bij een prevalentie van longontsteking van 1,3% en een halvering van het risico, zouden er 150 personen moeten worden behandeld om 1 longontsteking te voorkomen. Bij gezonde personen heeft secundaire bacteriële bronchitis en longontsteking een uitstekende prognose. De klinische betekenis van dit resultaat is derhalve beperkt en bovendien weinig betrouwbaar door de methodologische tekortkomingen. Resultaten bij risicogroepen Bij de risicogroepen met griepachtige symptomen was het effect van behandeling met oseltamivir op ziekenhuisopname gering en statistisch niet-significant (OR: 0,63; 95%-BI: 0,30-1,30). Het aantal voorkómen longontstekingen was in dezelfde orde van grootte (OR: 0,62; 95%-BI: 0,30-1,29). Het effect op bronchitis was evenmin significant (OR: 0,73; 95%-BI: 0,51-1,05). Er moesten in de intention-to-treatanalyse respectievelijk 33, 99 en 85 personen met griepachtige symptomen worden behandeld om 1 geval van bronchitis, longontsteking of een ziekenhuisopname te voorkomen. De bovenste betrouwbaarheidsgrens bevat oneindig. De cijfers zijn vertekend door de hogere leeftijd van de controlegroep; de werkelijke aantallen zijn hoger. Het is niet onmogelijk dat neuraminidaseremmers de kansen op ernstige complicaties verlagen. Maar om dat zeker te weten heeft men grotere en betere studies nodig dan de hier gepresenteerde. Een op 11 augustus gepubliceerd overzicht, uitgevoerd in opdracht van het Britse National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), bevestigde het ontbreken van informatie over het effect van griepremmers op complicaties.4 Dit overzicht bevestigde bovendien de lage effectiviteit, de geringe klinische significantie en de slechte kosteneffectiviteit van griepremmers. Deze middelen hebben alleen een beperkt nut bij mensen die een hoog risico lopen. Het lijkt erop dat griepremmers een beschermde status genieten. Het is namelijk niet gebruikelijk dat de werkzaamheid van een middel wordt beargumenteerd met percentages, zonder methodologische en statistische evaluatie. De inzet van mensen en middelen bij de bestrijding van de Mexicaanse griep moet worden geëvalueerd, samen met de rol van deskundigen en adviesorganen in dezen. Bij een beperkt budget voor gezondheidszorg betalen zieken en bejaarden steeds de rekening van verspilling. Belangenconflict: geen gemeld. Financiële ondersteuning: geen gemeld.

• Colloidaal Zilver/OXYSILVER™ Above you can see the size and dispersion differences between OXYSILVER™ and a high quality colloidal silver. In practical terms, the infection elimination capability of OXYSILVER™ is superior. Here’s the difference: If you have a Petri dish with a million infectious bacteria, and you put in a drop of colloidal silver, each of its particles contact only 15 infectious bacteria and kill them. After this, the colloidal silver is exhausted. Its electron potentials for eliminating infectious microbes are no more. But the OXYSILVER™ molecular cluster, in this revolutionary silver oxygen hydrosol, is hugely different. When you placed the same amount of a silver hydrosol in the same germ culture it will kill all the infectious bacteria and sterilize the entire Petri dish. This occurs for at least three reasons:

Ook bij de officiele Amerikaanse instanties is voldoende bekend over het hpv vaccin. Ook op de site van FDA en andere toonaangevende instanties staat steeds weer vermeld dat er nog geen langere termijn effecten bekend zijn. Verder zeggen alle beelden en memorials op youtube toch wel voldoende. De boeven moeten eindelijk maar eens accepteren dat mensen zelf wel nadenken over wat goed voor ze is. De tijd dat de regering, de dokter, en de schoolmeester op hun blauwe ogen geloofd werden ligt hopelijk voorgoed achter ons.

• Swine Flu Fear-Mongering Socio-Economics History Blog Socio-Economics & History Commentary A/H1N1 has killed (mostly patients with underlying medical conditions) less than a thousand people worldwide. Yet western governments are rushing to buy vaccines to inoculate their entire population. Seasonal flu kills 350,000-500,000 people a year. Isn’t seasonal flu much worse? Why not rush to inoculate everyone every year? There is a hidden agenda here: depopulation. Big Pharma profits big time from this fear mongering and coming deaths. No doubt the MSM will blame it on mutations of the A/H1N1. But the underlying cause will be the vaccines.

• Viagra For Younger Men? A new study is showing that recreational use of Viagra is growing rapidly in men under 45 years of age. From 1998 to 2002, the use of Viagra in men under forty-five tripled, says the study, which looked at 5 million insured American males. What this study indicates is that Viagra is being used as a recreational drug, not as a drug to treat a medical condition. Thus, it belongs more in the category of pot, crack, heroin, or meth rather than being a medicinal pharmaceutical. But let's look at the big picture here -- the maker of Viagra earns profits regardless of how it's used. And from where I sit, I haven't seen Pfizer working very hard to try to limit the sale of this drug to younger men for recreational use. If a company were acting responsibly and putting the interest of the public health over the interests of its own profits, it would of course try to restrict sales of the drug to those who don't medically need the drug. That's typically men over 65. But instead, the company seems happy to sell the drug to all variety of sources, where the drug eventually ends up in the hands of men as young as 18 who are using the drug recreationally.

Verdrag inzake de Voorkoming en de Bestraffing van Genocide Adopted by Resolution 260 (III) A of the U.N. General Assembly on 9 December 1948. Entry into force: 12 January 1951. Nederlandse vertaling, Tractatenblad 1960, 32, gewijzigd bij Tractatenblad 1966, 179.

• Article III Article III: The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.
• Laws and Penal Codes Article V: The Contracting Parties undertake to enact, in accordance with their respective Constitutions, the necessary legislation to give effect to the provisions of the present Convention, and, in particular, to provide effective penalties for persons guilty of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III. Implementing the Genocide Convention in Domestic Law The crime of genocide in domestic law and the domestic prosecution of persons committing genocide are subjects of international significance. Correspondingly, the failure of nations to enact laws against genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are matters of international concern. For example, in April 1999, a Swiss court threw out the charge of genocide in the trial of Rwandan mayor, Fulgence Niyonteze, because the crime of genocide was not at that time a part of Swiss law. Many countries have more effective laws for air piracy (hijacking) than for genocide. The failure of countries to prosecute or extradite perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes has become a matter of tremendous international interest since the October 1998 arrest of former Chilean dictator Pinochet in the United Kingdom on Spanish charges of torture and genocide. Pinochet was released in March 2000 and allowed to return to Chile, but his case has become a crucial turning point in the effort to bring an end to impunity for torture, genocide and other international crimes.
• Mission Statement Prevent Genocide International is a global education and action network established in 1998 with the purpose of bringing about the elimination of the crime of genocide. The organization makes particular use of the Internet as a way of linking persons around the world in a transnational network of global civic engagement and action. The foremost goal of Prevent Genocide International is to cultivate well-informed and articulate voices in many nations able to speak out in the emerging global civil society against the crime of genocide. Recent mass atrocites and genocide in multiple world regions demonstrate the urgent need for a network of individuals as well as local, national and international organizations capable of rapidly mobilizing the global public against possible future episodes of genocide. It may well be possible that concerted action can prevent or halt an escalating attack on a threatened population group, thereby averting or mitigating an outbreak of genocide.

• Dr Mercola On Squalene Dr Mercola On Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed Sun, 19/07/2009 - 04:46 — Clare Swinney Sign up for Dr Mercola's free newsletter at his website - there are some very good articles being written on important topics. Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2009/07/17/Squalene-Th... By Dr. Mercola According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i] This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk. In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. 'Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention,' she said.[ii] Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus, compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an average year in Australia.[iii] “Cure the Disease, Kill the Patient” Less than 100 children in the U.S. die each year from seasonal flu viruses.[iv] If we use Australia’s math, a very rough estimate would be another 100 children could potentially die of swine flu in the United States in the coming year. If children are the first target group in the U.S. per Sebelius, that means we’re about to inject around 75 million children with a fast tracked vaccine containing novel adjuvants, including dangerous squalene, to prevent perhaps 100 deaths. I’m not overlooking the tragedy of the loss of even one child to an illness like the H1N1 flu virus. But there can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan. Why are Vaccinations Dangerous? The presumed intent of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to potentially harmful organisms that cause illness and disease. However, your body’s immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms which invade your body naturally. Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract – not through an injection. These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system. It is a different system from the one activated when a vaccine is injected into your body. Your IgA immune system is your body’s first line of defense. Its job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body’s immune system. When a virus is injected into your body in a vaccine, and especially when combined with an immune adjuvant like squalene, your IgA immune system is bypassed and your body’s immune system kicks into high gear in response to the vaccination. Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health. And as if Vaccines Weren’t Dangerous Enough on Their Own … … imagine them turbocharged. The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that have been attenuated (weakened and made less harmful). Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin. In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene. The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you’re being vaccinated against. Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual. Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from their vaccines. Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines? The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines. The adjuvant? Squalene. According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine, “A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities.”[v] Novartis’s proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo’s is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries. Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S. What Squalene Does to Rats Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi] A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered “chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation,” also known as rheumatoid arthritis.[vii] The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases. What Squalene Does to Humans Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties. The difference between “good” and “bad” squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant. Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii] Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x] The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP). However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene. A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathology included these stunning statistics: “ … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene. In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene.”[xi] According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia: “… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called 'Gulf War Syndrome,' documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War. The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud’s phenomenon, Sjorgren’s syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers.”[xii] Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and illnesses. Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many different illnesses and diseases. Don’t hold your breath waiting for vaccine purveyors and proponents to look seriously at the long-term health consequences of their vaccination campaigns. What You Can Do to Protect Yourself and Your Family Visit the National Vaccination Information Center (NVIC) site and join in the fight against mandatory swine flu vaccinations. Educate yourself about influenza strains, vaccination risks, and the public health laws in your state that may require you or your children to undergo either mandatory vaccination or quarantine. Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines: * Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system. * Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil. * Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you. * Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds. * Get plenty of good quality sleep. * Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection. * Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure, chemical-free soap.

Deze varkensgriep die we de Mexicaanse griep zijn gaan noemen heeft op het moment van schrijven (14 juni 2009) 30.000 mensen besmet en er zouden 145 mensen aan overleden zijn. In Nederland zouden 43 gevallen gevonden zijn. Op een school in het Brabantse Waalre heeft de gehele groep Tamiflu gekregen toen bleek dat een klasgenootje de Mexicaanse griep onder de leden had (zie bijv. Mexicaanse Griep Slaat Toe). Door de hele affaire rondom het 'baarmoederhalskankervaccin' Cervarix (en Gardasil) is er bij mij een natuurlijke argwaan ontstaan ten opzichte van de overheid en haar vermogen om zorgvuldig om te kunnen gaan met het aanbieden van nieuwe farmaceutische producten. Ook de gezondheidsraad heeft veel vertrouwen verloren door deze affaire waarbij de innige banden tussen leden van de raad en de belanghebbende farmaceutische industrie toch wel erg aannemelijk zijn geworden. Het beroemde artikel in het Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde heeft hierin een belangrijke rol gespeeld, tezamen met de befaamde Zembla-documentaire. In een tijd waarin er mogelijkerwijs steeds meer mensen bang zouden kunnen gaan worden voor deze mexicaanse griep is het ook erg makkelijk voor overheidsinstanties om mensen te gaan inenten met wat ze maar willen. Het volk vertrouwt de overheid dan snel en heeft al helemaal geen tijd om kritische achtergronden te lezen van datgene wat ze tot zich nemen. De bedoeling van dit artikel is om deze achtergrondinformatie wél naar voren te brengen om ook hier te zien of het massaal innemen van Tamiflu nou echt wel zoden aan de dijk zet, of dat het meer een soort lapmiddel is dat door de overheid kan worden ingezet om mensen toch vaag het gevoel te geven dat de overheid daadkrachtig optreedt, terwijl het middel misschien vooral interessant is voor de farmagigant Roche. In de baarmoederhalskankeraffaire heeft de overheid aangetoond alle middelen te kunnen inzetten om het volk zó te informeren dat ieder tegengeluid werd belachelijk gemaakt door het als 'indianenverhalen' af te doen. Zo is het RIVM onder de bezielende leiding van de heer Coutinho zelfs propaganda gaan voeren op scholen en zijn er bedrijfjes ingehuurd om op internet de gewenste informatie te verspreiden (zie Werkt de Overheid met Internet Infiltratie Teams?) Mocht het virus zich verder verspreiden en het wellicht soms een zaak van leven of dood zou kunnen worden dan zal de overheid waarschijnlijk helemaal fel optreden tegen iedereen die twijfelt aan de aanpak van de overheid en het RIVM. Het is dan ook verstandig om hier waakzaam in te blijven en goed op te letten welke strategieën worden gebruikt. Het kan ook zinvol zijn om kopieën te maken van overheidssites voordat ze gewijzigd worden.

( Opmerking adm. : Dit betekent alle wereld regeringen zijn schuldig aan moord met voorbedachte rade. ' Mark my words!' ) Japan Links Tamiflu to Sudden Deaths in Children Tokyo 13 November 2005 Tamiflu Japan's health ministry says it plans to reissue a warning of dangerous behavioral side effects linked to the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu. This comes amid reports that several children in Japan died after taking the medication. Governments around the world are stockpiling the medicine amid growing fears of a possible human pandemic of avian influenza. Japan's health ministry says it is looking into reports of a number of sudden deaths of young people who had taken prescribed dosages of Tamiflu. The ministry confirms that it has concluded that the death of one boy was the result of side effects from the drug. The ministry says it has found 64 cases of psychological disorders linked to the drug in the past four years. Dr. Rokuro Hama, head of the Japan Institute of Pharmaco-Vigilance, says he has investigated eight suspicious deaths of children aged between two and 17 over the past three years, which he thinks are linked to Tamiflu. He reported his findings Saturday at a meeting of the Japan Society of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Dr. Hama said Sunday that Tamiflu appears to be similar to other powerful drugs that can cause behavioral changes. 'These are tranquilizers, sedatives or hypnotics. These cause discontrol or disregulation of the central nervous system. So it may cause very bizarre phenomenon or behavior,' said Dr. Hama. Investigators say in one case last year, a 17-year-old boy, after taking the medication, left his home during a snowstorm, and jumped in front of a truck and died. Earlier this year, a 14-year-old boy, after taking one Tamiflu capsule, jumped or fell from the ninth floor of an apartment building. Doctors say in both cases the boys had not exhibited any abnormal behavior before taking Tamiflu. Yuji Yamashita of Chugai Pharmaceutical, the Japanese distributor for Tamiflu, said Sunday that the company had notified the health ministry about two deaths involving teenage boys. However, Mr. Yamashita said he had no knowledge of any other cases of psychological side effects the ministry has tracked. Tamiflu, which has the generic name of oseltamivir phosphate, is produced by Roche, based in Switzerland. The medication inhibits the growth of flu virus in humans. In Japan, the medication comes with a warning alerting patients to the possibility of impaired consciousness, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, and other psychological and neurological symptoms. But Dr. Hama at the Institute of Pharmaco-Vigilance says because Tamiflu is a new drug, most health care professionals wrongly conclude behavioral changes are the result of delirium caused by high fever. Dr. Hama says the health ministry's initial alert last year received little notice, even among medical professionals. 'It was not reported, distributed through the mass media, so doctors do not notice that warning,' he said. In other countries, including the United States, there is no such explicit warning with the medication. Roche, in its consumer information, says there have been cases of seizures and confusion in patients who have taken Tamiflu but, as with a number of other side effects, 'it is not possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to Tamiflu exposure.' Roche officials at its headquarters in Switzerland and the United States were not available Sunday to comment directly on the new warning from Japan. However, a company statement issued Sunday said Tamiflu has been shown to have a 'good safety profile'. Roche says it monitors reports of side effects but says they must be considered in the context of flu symptoms, which includes high fevers that can lead to neurological complications. Japan, like many other nations, is boosting its stockpile of Tamiflu, in case there is a flu pandemic in the next few years. The government is trying to acquire 250 million capsules to cover treatment for 25 million people.

• Veroorzaakt hallucinaties 'Tamiflu turned my children into hallucinating, sobbing wrecks' By Richard Price Last updated at 10:12 AM on 13th August 2009 * Comments (57) * Add to My Stories This week, it was with no small measure of satisfaction that I watched Andy Burnham, our implausibly youthful Health Secretary, squirm on the GMTV sofa. Andrew Castle, it must be said, is no Jeremy Paxman. So when Mr Burnham agreed to take part in the show to discuss the alleged merits of Tamiflu (how it sticks in my craw even to write those words) he was doubtless looking forward to putting across the Government's point of view in the gentlest of surroundings. What ensued was an ambush, as the visibly irate presenter revealed that his daughter Georgina had collapsed and nearly died after taking the supposedly harmless drug. Tamiflu warning: Richard Price, wife Jennie and Jessica and James Tamiflu warning: Richard Price, wife Jennie and Jessica and James Mr Burnham, for his part, burbled some platitudes about Tamiflu being 'our main line of defence' against swine flu, and how it was a 'different phase of the illness' when Georgina was prescribed the drug. Oh really? Perhaps Mr Burnham would have liked to come round to my house and explain the merits of Tamiflu to my three-year-old daughter as she sobbed and retched in my arms night after night.

This is to say nothing of the raging fevers, nightmares and hallucinations which plagued both our children until we decided they could take no more. Squirming breakfast TV: Health Secretary Andy Burnham defended giving swine flu drug Tamiflu to children on GMTV as TV presenter Andrew Castle said his daughter 'almost died' after taking it Squirming breakfast TV: Health Secretary Andy Burnham defended giving swine flu drug Tamiflu to children on GMTV as TV presenter Andrew Castle said his daughter 'almost died' after taking it The effects of swine flu? Not a bit of it. My wife and I are utterly convinced that all these symptoms were, quite simply, the vicious side effects of Tamiflu. Full disclosure: my wife, Jennie, was instrumental in making sure Mr Burnham appeared in public to discuss the issue. The previous night, she had appeared in the lead item on ITV's News At Ten to exhort all parents that they should think long and hard before giving Tamiflu to their children. Health Secretary Andy Burnham Health Secretary Andy Burnham Having witnessed the damage wreaked by the drug at close quarters, we would never make the same mistake again. It is difficult to explain the gutwrenching feeling of seeing your children suffer, when their pain is a result of your decision. And yet, like any responsible parents, all we wanted was to protect them. In following the Government's advice, we thought we were taking the cautious route. How wrong we were. Looking back, it started out in innocuous fashion. When James's and Jessica's noses started running during a family day out in the Cotswolds late last month, we initially thought nothing of it. But when both started coughing and developed high temperatures, we rang NHS Direct to seek their advice. Two hours later, after a flurry of phone calls starting with NHS Direct, both our children had been prescribed Tamiflu. It was not certain that they had swine flu, but the on-call GP was pretty certain they had and it was better to be safe than sorry. Under no circumstances were we to take the children to the surgery, so instead we were asked to dispatch a 'flu friend' to the nearest open pharmacy to collect the drugs. At that stage - and I remember this vividly, having played it over in my mind dozens of times - both our children were reasonably well. Jessica, in particular, seemed to regard the pills as sweets and was positively bouncing off the walls with excitement. Needless suffering or necessary protection? Tamiflu is being handed out to thousands of children Needless suffering or necessary protection? Tamiflu is being handed out to thousands of children Once the first dose had been administered, however, all that quickly changed. James's temperature, which up to that point had been kept at normal levels with Calpol, rocketed. His appetite disappeared and when his raging thirst finally persuaded him to drink some milk, he vomited so spectacularly that we are still struggling to clear up the stains several weeks later. For the next day he barely moved, except to be sick every time he had so much as a sip of water. We had never seen him so ill, and because he was unable to keep anything in his stomach, there was no way of controlling his temperature with paracetamol. His fever was reaching dangerous levels and we were becoming seriously worried about dehydration. Thankfully - though we did not see it this way at the time - James is nothing if not a character. He knew what was making him ill - the Tamiflu - and he fought tooth and nail to resist taking the drug. Producing the packet of pills was the only thing that could rouse him from listless torpor. In the end, we gave up. Almost immediately, his symptoms cleared up and he was back to being our happy little boy. Facemask nation: A girl takes a photograph in Whitehall in London Facemask nation: A girl takes a photograph in Whitehall in London, wearing a medical mask Jessica, however, has always been of a gentler disposition. Perhaps it is a simple matter of gender, but she is delightfully eager to please, and even after the pills started to kick in it did not take too much wheedling for her to take them. Indeed, for a few hours all seemed well. Until we were woken in the early hours of the morning by the sound of Jessica screaming, between deep, heaving dry retches: 'I don't like the pills, Daddy! Please don't make me have the pills!' She was hallucinating, sobbing and more upset than I have ever seen her. Eventually she rocked herself to sleep in my arms, only to wake up an hour later and repeat the process. In the morning, exhausted, my wife sought advice from our GP. James had made his own decision, but we were encouraged to carry on with Jessica's course. Pills were smothered in chocolate sauce, but she was no longer to be so easily fooled. In the end, it took the promise of a trip to the toy shop and a river of tears before she, with typical sweetness, obliged and swallowed them. That night, however, the screams and violent retching returned. By now she was begging, pleading not to be given any more pills. We cracked. Enough was enough. The Tamiflu went in the dustbin. So what happened when we defied government advice and eschewed Tamiflu in favour of Calpol and cuddles? Within 24hours both of our children were completely recovered, save for those runny noses. Yet the sobering fact is that today alone, the NHS will hand out Tamiflu to thousands of vulnerable little children who will go through needless suffering as a result of scaremongering about an illness which is no more dangerous than seasonal flu. Of course, there is always the chance that your child will not suffer side effects, and the drug could reduce the length of the illness by a day - though even the Government now admits Tamiflu does virtually nothing to relieve symptoms. Take it from us: it really, truly, is not worth it. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1206215/Tamiflu-turned-children-hallucinating-sobbing-wrecks.html#ixzz0QMddxuMT

• WaarschuwingOneigenlijkGebruik KNMP waarschuwt tegen oneigenlijk gebruik Tamiflu 12-08-2009 11:52 Tamiflu Tamiflu DEN HAAG (ANP) – De beroepsorganisatie van apothekers KNMP waarschuwt tegen het oneigenlijk gebruik van het middel Tamiflu. Het is om allerlei redenen onverstandig uit voorzorg dat medicijn te slikken, zegt een woordvoerster van de KNMP. Nu steeds meer grote bedrijven hun bedrijfsvoering op peil willen houden door massaal Tamiflu te kopen, waarschuwen de apothekers tegen de gevolgen daarvan. „Net als het RIVM raden wij ook af Tamiflu uit voorzorg te slikken, omdat het in principe maar zes weken gebruikt kan worden. De pandemie duurt echter langer dan zes weken. Als mensen daarna stoppen met het medicijn, biedt het ook geen bescherming meer tegen de Mexicaanse griep', waarschuwt de woordvoerster. Wie denkt slim te zijn en daarna blijft doorslikken, is volgens de KNMP niet verstandig bezig. „Het is onbekend wat de gevolgen zijn als mensen na zes weken doorgaan met het innemen van Tamiflu. Het is bekend dat het medicijn verschillende bijwerkingen heeft, zoals hoofdpijn en misselijkheid. Als je het middel dan langer slikt, is dat in ieder geval niet bevorderend voor de bijwerkingen'. Hoe de bedrijven aan Tamiflu komen, is de KNMP onbekend, omdat het een middel is dat alleen op doktersrecept verkrijgbaar is. Huisartsen zijn er vorige week nog eens extra op gewezen dat ze de virusremmers niet uit voorzorg moeten voorschrijven. Dat zou nog steeds te veel gebeuren. De woordvoerster benadrukt nog eens dat de Mexicaanse griep een milde seizoengriep is zoals die regelmatig in Nederland voorkomt. „Ook dan gaan we niet uit voorzorg virusremmers nemen'. „We willen ook voorkomen dat resistentievorming wordt aangewakkerd, want dan zitten we volgend jaar met een nieuw probleem en dat is dan veel moeilijker aan te pakken'.

• DonaldRumsfeldexChairmanGilead The following is from an article by Stephen Lendman 10 June 2009 on the Global Research The industry-run US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notoriously rushes inadequately tested drugs to market, putting their efficacy and safety into question, and turning those who use them into lab rats. It includes everyone if a mass vaccination is ordered on the mere claim of a public emergency – no proof required.

• GileadSciences/Donald Rumsfeld Tamiflu is being touted as the best way to combat the H1N1 Swine Flu virus which has communities around the world in a pandemic panic, but is there a hidden agenda behind the push? Tamiflu is only one of two readily available anti-viral medications, yet Relenza isn't getting the same cure-it attention. Could the fact that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has substantial interest in Gilead Sciences, the company that exclusively produces Tamiflu, be part of the reason that Relenza is taking a back seat in the H1N1 Swine Flu treatment plan?

• Thimerosol Lawsuit Information
• Thimerosol Testimony
• What is kept behind Thimerosol, Autism and Vaccines: What Eli Lilly Isn't Telling You Betrayal by ABC and Drug Companies By Mark Sircus Ac., OMD Director International Medical Veritas Association and Dr. Alan Clark June 25, 2005 Betrayal Documents from the archives of Eli Lilly & Company clearly demonstrate that it was known as early as April 1930 that the thimerosal was dangerous. Yet last night ABC news felt perfectly comfortable to put Dr. Tim Johnson on the air to speak about how the 'benefits' of vaccines far outweigh any possible harm. Dr. Johnson gave a one-sided commentary that championed the IOM and CDC, which still endorse the use of thimerosal in vaccines. Johnson also had the audacity to ridicule Robert F. Kennedy Jr. saying he was an 'environmental activist and not a scientist nor a doctor and was not in a position to fully understand these things.' The Huffington Post reported, 'Last week ABC canceled a story about a dangerous chemical in child inoculations. Last night, the network broadcast a recut version of its original story that had been edited into a piece of industry propaganda. ABC's original program showed how the vaccine industry, working with public health officials from the CDC and the federal government's Institute of Medicine (IOM), may have poisoned a generation of American children with the mercury-laced vaccine preservative thimerosal. The night before the scheduled airing, the shows were cancelled by high-level ABC officials.'(i) The reaction to the recut version from parents across the country was a mixture of disgust and outrage. One mother exclaimed, 'I was speechless with anger, especially when at next commercial break the ads were selling drugs.' What was obvious to even the casual observer was that ABC will not bite the hand that feeds them, which is the big pharmaceutical companies that buy air time for commercials. Don Imus, who interviewed JFK on Monday, was quoted as saying, 'What ABC did last night was embarrassing and disgraceful.' You would have been greatly offended if you had seen how Robert Kennedy was treated by ABC News last night. It was the worst of American journalism that I have ever seen. After tonight there is no doubt that the pharmaceutical industry totally controls the mass media. Boyd E. Haley There are powerful vested interests that dearly want to see the autism epidemic forgotten and there are hundreds of thousands of outraged parents and caretakers who are hungry to identify and sue those responsible. The greatest medical scandal of the last century is finally making its way onto prime time television. In what was perhaps the best kept secret of the 20th century thimerosal was used without a care to its danger and the best the people in the know could say was: 'My first reaction was simply disbelief, which was the reaction of almost everybody involved in vaccines,' said Dr Neal Halsey who heads the Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety. 'In most vaccine containers, thimerosal is listed as a mercury derivative, a hundredth of a percent. And what I believed, and what everybody else believed, was that it was truly a trace, a biologically insignificant amount. My honest belief is that if the labels had had the mercury content in micrograms, this would have been uncovered years ago.' Dr. Halsey was responsible, with others, in approving an increase in childhood thimerosal bearing vaccines fifteen years ago. His words here show a great alarm at the level and danger of mercury in vaccines yet today the Hopkins Institute for Vaccine Safety and the rest of the medical establishment vigorously deny the danger and any link between thimerosal and autism. Dr. Halsey's comments were from five years ago when the FDA forced the CDC to review all medical products with mercury in them. During all this time the medical establishment has not budged in their backing of thimerosal and the reason is obvious as parent Max Salinas reminded everyone this morning. 'Actually, consider that it is estimated that each ASD child may require $2M in support over his/her life, and there are an estimated 500,000 ASD children in the US alone, that comes up to $1 trillion. And that's just in the US! I'd say they're starting to worry big time!' Johnson ridiculed RFK, yet readily accepted the CDC's and the IOM's position on thimerosal. The CDC said there is no cover-up and Johnson took them at their word without researching into the truth of the matter. So great is the lockstep in the mainstream press around the vaccine thimerosal issue that one seems like a fool to suggest that the medical establishment is wrong. Yet thousands of parents are primed today to inundate ABC with protest of last nights lopsided news broadcast. The National Autism Association suggests today that the entire autism and developmental-delay community flood ABC with faxes. It is clear when it comes to medical issues the mainstream press feels compelled to present allopathic medicine and the pharmaceutical companies in a favorable light without care to the truth or falsity of what they are expressing. As long as it's the truth accepted by medical officials and politicians they feel secure even if the officials are themselves covering up the truth. But when it comes to medicine we are playing around with people's and children's lives so it really matters what the truth is. The public has put a great trust in their doctors, medical officials and in the medical press. People depend on the press for important information on which to make important decisions. ABC news last night competed with the worst science fiction horror movie showing how corporations can totally highjack the news media into totally lying to the public. Bracketing the show with advertisements for drugs, ABC showed who its real masters are and what they really care about, the advertising dollars from the pharmaceutical companies. This represents a huge betrayal of public trust and demonstrates how seriously compromised this news agency is. Interesting enough the American Medical Association on Tuesday refused to back a ban on prescription drug ads, despite rising concerns about the dangers of certain heavily marketed painkillers and antidepressants. Health activist Tim Bolen is calling for a halt to drug advertising to the general public and even wants to make it against the law for drug 'detail' men to talk directly to doctors at all. Bolen suggests that by stopping pharmaceutical advertising, 'We'd get our media back. National Television news channels, the last time I looked, had fifty percent of their advertising devoted to drug ads.' If you cannot trust the medical press and your doctor to inform you of different opinions that exist on important medical issues who can you trust? Trust is leaking out of the medical press and the overall medical community like oil leaking out of a damaged supertanker and last night ABC widened that hole considerably. Today more people are dying at the hands of the medical establishment than ever before. What does that tell us about modern medicine and the press that reports on it? The common myth that vaccines are harmless, for example, or that doctors are infallible and that medical researchers are seldom unethical contributed to the blind trust that only causes people to die or to be seriously harmed by medicines they should never have taken in the first place. Human greed gave rise to an exceptionally poisonous idea, perhaps the most evil idea in human existence, the idea of short-term gain or profit. With this as the backbone of corporate philosophy the way was cleared to earn profit at the expense of the environment and at the expense of people's very lives. One anonymous person said, 'Robert Kennedy, Jr. has done this country a great service by taking on the pharmaceutical companies and exposing them for what they truly are, greedy. At the expense of a generation of children born during the last 15 years these legal drug dealers have made billions of dollars, bought our government and now own the airwaves. It is time for Americans to realize that evil doesn't only happen in other countries, it also happens right here at home.' Many believe sincerely that this is the most corrupt period in American history — a legacy of the Reagan era when corporations grew exponentially in their power due to deregulation. Last night ABC showed this to be true. Some people go as far as asserting that the weapons of mass destruction, that Bush so ardently tried to find in Iraq, have been found and that they were administered to American children by US doctors with the knowledge of the US government, the CDC and the pharmaceutical industry.' The thimerosal issue is threatening the entire fabric and integrity of the medical industrial complex as well as the fabric of society which now has more than one in six children falling to one kind of neurological disorder or another. It is also political dynamite when you learn that the Bush family and the present administration have too many ties to Eli Lilly. There is President Bush's father, who after stepping aside as Director of Central Intelligence in 1977, was made director of the Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company by the family of Dan Quayle, who owned the controlling interest in the company. There was White House budget director Mitch Daniels, once an Eli Lilly executive; and Eli Lilly CEO Sidney Taurel, who served on the president's homeland security advisory council. And when we learn that on the Institute of Medicines Governing Council is Gail H. Cassell, PhD, of Eli Lilly and Company we have reason to fear for our children. There is nothing small about this issue. And even though in the United States most of the thimerosal has been taken out of children's vaccines it is still present in the flu vaccines given to children. The ever present danger of this is exemplified in the personal story you will find below by Dr. Alan Clark. His story shows clearly that parents have every reason to continue to fear our doctors and medical officials and the medical establishment in general who do not want to come clean with the truth. We need to nail down the truth about thimerosal in vaccines so we can then get on with the business of helping the generation of children who have been grievously harmed.

http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html Vaccines as Biological Weapons? Live Avian Flu Virus Placed in Baxter Vaccine Materials Sent to 18 Countries Vaccines as Biological Weapons? Live Avian Flu Virus Placed in Baxter Vaccine Materials Sent to 18 Countries! (NaturalNews) There's a popular medical thriller novel in which a global pandemic is intentionally set off by an evil plot designed to reduce the human population. In the book, a nefarious drug company inserts live avian flu viruses into vaccine materials that are distributed to countries around the world to be injected into patients as "flu shots." Those patients then become carriers for these highly-virulent strains of avian flu which go on to infect the world population and cause widespread death. There's only one problem with this story: It's not fiction. Or, at least, the part about live avian flu viruses being inserted into vaccine materials isn't fiction. It's happening right now. Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. has just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine material to medical distributors in 18 countries. The "mistake" (if you can call it that, see below...) was discovered by the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. The World Health Organization was alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened? As published on LifeGen.de (http://www.lifegen.de/newsip/showne...) , serious questions like this are being raised: "Baxter International Inc. in Austria 'unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease'. Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic - these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses. Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components leading some day to a new pandemic." Or, put another way, Baxter is acting a whole lot like a biological terrorism organization these days, sending deadly viral samples around the world. If you mail an envelope full of anthrax to your Senator, you get arrested as a terrorist. So why is Baxter -- which mailed samples of a far more deadly viral strain to labs around the world -- getting away with saying, essentially, "Oops?" But there's a bigger question in all this: How could this company have accidentally mixed LIVE avian flu viruses (both H5N1 and H3N2, the human form) in this vaccine material?

• Griepgolf kost circa 700 Griepgolf kost staat circa 700 mln euro Gepubliceerd: 15 augustus 2009 09:35 | Gewijzigd: 21 augustus 2009 09:43 Door een onzer redacteuren Den Haag, 15 aug. De bestrijding van de Mexicaanse griep (H1N1) stelt minister Klink (Volksgezondheid, CDA) voor een forse financiële tegenvaller. De kosten van grootschalige vaccinatie kunnen oplopen tot circa 700 miljoen euro. Minister Klink (Volksgezondheid, CDA). Foto Roel Rozenburg Minister Klink (Volksgezondheid, CDA). Foto Roel Rozenburg * Nieuwsthema - Lees meer over de Mexicaanse griep Minister Klink benadrukte gisteren dat het gaat om de eerste schattingen. Hij sprak na afloop van de ministerraad van een „educated guess” en van „een bovengrens”. In het bedrag van maximaal 700 miljoen euro is de aanschaf van 34 miljoen vaccins reeds meegeteld, een order die het kabinet eerder dit jaar plaatste bij de farmaceutische industrie. Volgende week zal in de ministerraad worden besproken hoe het kabinet met deze tegenvaller om zal gaan. „Het is een fors bedrag, maar ook eenmalig”, zei Klink gisteren, die zinspeelde op solidariteit van zijn collega’s. De verwachting is dat hij het bedrag niet elders op zijn begroting hoeft te bezuinigen. Klink rekent erop dat de tegenvaller, die niet in zijn begroting voor dit jaar was voorzien, op coulance kan rekenen van bijvoorbeeld minister Bos van Financiën (PvdA). „Als, zoals volgens sommige prognoses, 30 procent van de bevolking ziek wordt, spreken we over een enorme economische schadepost.” Dat zal volgens de bewindsman in het bruto binnenlands product tot uitdrukking komen. Klinkt hoopt dat de in juni bestelde vaccins in oktober, dan wel november van dit jaar beschikbaar zullen zijn. Er zijn naar verwachting twee vaccinaties per persoon nodig om effectief te zijn. Volgens de laatste cijfers hebben nu een kleine 1.500 Nederlanders de Mexicaanse griep. Het gaat volgens het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu vooralsnog om een „beperkte verspreiding”. Wel is sprake van een sterke toename. Afgelopen dinsdag werden nog ruim duizend gevallen geteld. Klink benadrukte dat de omvang van de kosten ook afhankelijk is van de manier waarop het virus zich zal ontwikkelen.

In Europa ijn er al enkele alanden die verplicht vaccineren hebben ingesteld. Ook in de Verenigde staten. Er wordt overal een verschil tussen " mandatory vaccination" en "forced vaccination" verplichte en gedwongen vaccinatie. Bij ons staan we pas aan het begin van een openbare discussie. Deze rubriek geeft weer wat er in andere anden van de wereld ervaren en gedaan wordt.l

• H1N1 Surprise Prevention The core essence of 'Greater Things' is that there is always a better way to do things -- anything -- whether it be religion, politics, science, academia -- anything. To the extent that we get institutionalized and codified in a set belief system, is the extent that we inhibit the ability to grow and learn new and better ways. - Dr. Andrew Moulden. A growing number of doctors, other health professionals and citizens are attempting to prevent the humanitarian disaster planned for this October when the new H1N1 vaccine is to be deployed in a grand scale, military, war on terror manoeuvre . 'Primum non nocere' ('First do no harm'), medical ethics standard attributed to Hippocrates that became obligatory for physicians prior to practicing medicine in the 4th century AD is still upheld by some doctors who oppose the worldwide October plan including what Global Research Director, Michel Chossudovsky warns is a military operation leading to global militarization control of individuals. An under-reported first International Swine Flu Conference being held in Washington DC this weekend includes sessions on “conducting morgue operations,” “mass fatality planning” and “unwillingness to follow government orders,” and “training teachers to screen for symptoms …and “transport ill students.”(Jesse Woodrow, They have planned to take kids from schools for Mass Vaccinations and Quarantines WAKE UP!) (video) Dr. Chossudovsky asserts that chilling reports such as those recently released in the UK about mass morgues are “totally fabricated” and “[t]here is absolutely no scientific evidence to support these claims.” (Michel Chossudovsky, Fear, Intimidation & Media Disinformation: U.K Government is Planning Mass Graves in Case of H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic, Global Research, August 21, 2009) (online) “Realities are turned upside down. The British government is deliberately misleading the British public,” states Chossudovsky. “There is ample evidence, documented in numerous reports, that the WHO's level 6 pandemic alert is based on fabricated evidence and a manipulation of the figures on mortality and morbidity resulting from the N1H1 swine flu,” he advises. (emphasis added) CBS in London reported, “Experts estimate swine flu to be about as dangerous as seasonal flu, and there usually isn't a high demand for those vaccines.” (CBS, Gov'ts Worry About H1N1 Vaccine Contracts, London, July 16, 2009. (online) “State and local public health planners,” however, “have been asked to plan for vaccine becoming available mid-October under the following scenarios: 40, 80, or 160 million doses becoming available from the 5 manufacturers (total) over approximately a one month period, followed by weekly amounts of 10, 20 or 30 million doses” according to the recent CDC report. Barbara Loe Fisher is alerting the public to recognize that the flu is not the problem and that the dangerous vaccine and further removal of rights requires urgent public education and action to thwart the October plan. Sherry Beal stated yesterday during the KPFK public radio “Health Planet, Health Me” program that H1N1 is by far the greatest issue impacting humanity than anything that has happened in her 25 years as a health science journalist, (KPFK Sherry Beal radio interview, “Healthy Planet Healthy Me, August 21, 2009) yet mainstream news has made little if any mention of the Washington DC conference ending today. (audio) Deadly vaccines deployed this October Numerous doctors and other health professionals agree with Alliance for Human Research Protection Director, Dr. Vera Sherav who stated in the KPFK interview yesterday that H1N1 vaccine has potential to rapidly and dangerously spread the disease. “All vaccinations cause immediate and delayed, acute and chronic, permanent and transient, disease and disorders that cut across all organ systems,” states Dr. Andrew Moulden BA, MA, MD, PhD. (video) War tactics of fear mongering war and media black-out on vaccine dangers and martial law is seemingly designed to cause ill-informed citizens to submit to the dangerous H1N1 vaccine. Chossudovsky's August 19 Fear, Intimidation & Media Disinformation: U.K Government is Planning Mass Graves in Case of H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic (online) report states: '[A]mply documented and denied by Western governments, the proposed vaccines could result in more deaths than those caused by the H1N1 influenza, as confirmed by Britain's Health Protection Agency and the letter, sent to about 600 neurologists on July 29, is the first sign that there is concern at the highest levels that the vaccine itself could cause serious complications. Chossudovsky refers to the use of a similar swine flu vaccine in the United States in 1976 when: * More people died from the vaccination than from swine flu. * 500 cases of GBS were detected. * The vaccine may have increased the risk of contracting GBS by eight times. * The vaccine was withdrawn after just ten weeks when the link with GBS became clear. * The US Government was forced to pay out millions of dollars to those affected. (Mail on Sunday, August 16, 2009) Code Red in effect now - martial law Few choices will be allowed to citizens in the present Code Red Emergency, according to Barbara Loe Fisher, President National Vaccine Information Center. (video) Massachusetts legislators have already passed pandemic influenza legislation legalizing entering homes without consent of occupants, quarantining without consent and abandoning free assembly of citizens. The National Vaccine Information Center public vaccine education and advocacy watchdog, urges everyone to rapidly become informed about H1N1 ‘swine’ flu, vaccines and rights on freedom of choice, and to act upon them: 'As Dept of Homeland Security Officials are declaring that ‘any’ disease outbreak is a matter of ‘Homeland Security,’ As Dept of Defense are defining public demonstrations as ‘low-level terrorism,’ As plans are being made to designate 'selected US airports as quarantine centers through which all airplanes would be Re-routed for passenger health inspection;’ And as fast-tracked ‘experimental’ pandemic flu vaccines are being created to be given first to American children in schools: It is time for all of us, whether public health doctors or ordinary citizens trying to protect our health; it is up to all of us to act in responsible and rational ways.” (Barbara Loe Fisher, 2009) Mass public education about mass vaccination planned Yesterday, Dr. Sherav agreed with knowledgeable ethical doctors globally: the 'vaccine can absolutely spread the H1N1 ‘swine flu.'” (KPFK Sherry Beal radio interview, “Healthy Planet Healthy Me, August 21, 2009) (audio) “This is no time to be a spectator, nor to hide in fear, and there's no sense in waiting until the worst possible scenario happens,” writes citizen action group, Vaccine Resistance Movement (VRM) coordinators, Wayne Prante and Joel Lord on the world's largest online social network, Face book. (online) Through Facebook, VRM is leading a global “We’re Not Going To Take It” events next weekend, August 28th-30th. “This is about the most basic of all human rights: control over our own bodies and health decisions,” VRM states.

• H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic: Iowa H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic: Iowa Contemplates 'Forced Confinement' in a 'Quarantine Facility' by Michel Chossudovsky Iowa public health officials have acknowledged the existence of a blank template entitled FACILITY QUARANTINE ORDER in the case of a Novel Influenza A H1N1 pandemic. The official press release states, however, that there is no draft or text of a 'Quarantine Order' by the Iowa Department of Public Health. Reported by the Iowa Independent: 'A quarantine template created by the Iowa Department of Public Health and accessible through the Centers for Disease Control Web site should not be of great concern, according to a press release from health department officials. 'IDPH wants to make it clear that Iowa has not issued any isolation and quarantine orders for novel influenza A (H1N1), and has no plans to issue any this fall,' officials wrote in the press release. See Health officials: Iowa quarantine document not cause for concern, Iowa Independent, Sept 1, 2009‎ The IDPH suggests in this regard that the drafting of public health templates is a routine undertaking, while also confirming that 'in preparation for public health emergencies,” ...“isolation and quarantine orders are only very rarely used in very specific situations.” (emphasis added). The last statement of the IDPH is notoriously ambiguous: If indeed isolation and quarantine orders are rarely used, why then was a template prepared which explicitly contemplates an ORDER pertaining to a QUARANTINE FACILITY? Moreover, the template was issued on May 1st, at the very outset of the H1N1 swine flu crisis in Mexico, barely two days after the WHO declared a level 5 pandemic advisory on April 29th. Are we playing on words? The template already contains the essential features of a formal QUARANTINE ORDER, which suggests that quarantine procedures are contemplated within the Iowa Department of Public Health. The result of these procedures have led to the formulation of the blank template. The issue, therefore, is not whether a quarantine order has been activated. The issue is 1) the State of Iowa has contemplated a policy of 'forced confinement', 2) at some future date, in the next few months, the blank template entitled FACILITY QUARANTINE ORDER could be activated with a view to actually implementing the quarantine precedures. Also of significance is the fact that this template entitled FACILITY QUARANTINE ORDER has been endorsed by the Atlanta based Center for Disease Control (CDC), which has published the document on its website.The CDC is the main federal agency responsible for H1N1 pandemic preparedness in coordination with other governmental agencies including FEMA, Homeland Security, State and municipal governments, as well as in liaison with the WHO. There are two quarantine documents on the CDC's website. The first refers to HOME QUARANTINE ORDER, the second to FACILITY QUARANTINE ORDER. (pdf) Click to access the CDC page, which identifies both templates as CDC reference documents. Media reports pointed to 'rumors swirling after a quarantine form was found by someone on the internet...' (See report on kimt.com, September 1, 2009) We are not dealing with rumors. The FACILITY QUARANTINE ORDER document posted on the website of the CDC, a federal government agency, envisages quite explicitly 'forced confinement' in the case of the H1N1 swine flu: 'The Department has determined that it is necessary to quarantine your movement to a specific facility to prevent further spread of this disease. The Department has determined that quarantine in your home and other less restrictive alternatives are not acceptable because [insert the reason home quarantine is not acceptable, the person violated a previously issued home quarantine order, the person does not have an appropriate home setting conducive to home quarantine, etc.] The Department is therefore ordering you to comply with the following provisions during the entire period of quarantine: 1. Terms of confinement. You are ordered to remain at the quarantine facility, _____________________ [insert name and address of facility], from ___________ to ____________ [insert dates of quarantine]. .... 4. Legal authority. This order is issued pursuant to the legal authority contained at Iowa Code chapters 135, 139A and 641 Iowa Administrative Code chapter 1, a copy of which is labeled Attachment B and is attached to this order for your review. The Department shall comply with the principles for quarantine contained in subrule 1.9(3) of this attachment when issuing and implementing this order. 5. Ensuring compliance. In order to ensure that you strictly comply with this Quarantine Order the Department or persons authorized by the Department may regularly inspect the quarantine facility. 6. Violations of order. If you fail to comply with this Quarantine Order you may be ordered to be quarantined in a more restrictive facility. In addition, failure to comply with this order is a simple misdemeanor for which you may be arrested, fined, and imprisoned.' This is an official document of the Iowa State government, which has also been endorsed by the Centre for Disease Control (CDC). If it were a preliminary or internal draft, it would not have been published by the CDC. The question is whether similar quarantine procedures are being replicated in other states across America.

• Mexicaanse griep/ Swine Flu Tamiflu Developer: Swine Flu Could Have Come From Bio-Experiment Lab
  
  World Health Organization Investigates Claims by Australian Scientist Adrian Gibbs

  An Australian researcher claims the swine flu, which has killed at least 64 people so far, might not be a mutation that occurred naturally but a man-made product of genetic experiments accidently leaked from a laboratory -- a theory the World Health Organization is taking very seriously. Share Respected scientist believes the virus might have been created in a lab. More Photos Adrian Gibbs, a scientist on the team that was behind the development of Tamiflu, says in a report he is submitting today that swine flu might have been created using eggs to grow viruses and make new vaccines, and could have been accidently leaked to the general public. 'It might be some sort of simple error that's not being recognized,' Gibbs said on ABC's 'Good Morning America.' In an interview with Bloomberg Television, Gibbs admitted there are other ways to explain swine flu's origin. 'One of the simplest explanations if that it's a laboratory escape, but there are lots of others,' he said.
