Bird Flu Bungler Making Swine Flu Vaccine

The American pharmaceutical company that accidentally shipped live Avian Bird Flu to 18 countries is now securing a WHO contract to create a vaccine for the Swine Flu currently sweeping across North America.

Illinois-based Baxter International, Inc. has already asked for a sample of the deadly Swine Flu, which has so far killed more than 100 people and infected hundreds,  from the World Health Organization to create the vaccine. Baxter spokesman Christopher Bona claims the company has a patented system that allows for the creation of a vaccine in half the time it usually takes – about 13 weeks instead of 26.

However, the recent bungling of safety protocols in Europe leave many to question how secure Baxter really is, and what its true motivations may actually be.

One theory put forward is that the European mishap was actually a “dry run” to see where and how in the chain would an infectious flu strain would be caught. Armed with that knowledge, the perpetrator could then make sure a more lethal flu strain could safely navigate the system and infect the population, leaving the company to reap huge profits in hefty contracts for a vaccine.

Since the Swine Flu outbreak began on Friday, the stock values of pharmaceuticals have risen sharply.

As the virus spreads, more and more people — and even a few virologists — believe H1N1 is a human-engineered pathogen. On April 25, the journalist Wayne Madsen wrote:

Our Mexico City source said a top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon. The UN expert believes that Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and the current A-H1N1 swine flu virus are biological warfare agents.

Past swine flu outbreaks have been spread from pigs to humans, who then passed the flu on to other humans. However, with A-H1N1, there have been no reported infections of pigs. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), A-H1N1 has gene segments from North American swine, bird and human flu strains and a segment from Eurasian swine flu. Costa Rica, Brazil, and Peru have issued alerts to check all incoming passengers from Mexico at border crossings, airports, and seaports for symptoms of the swine flu.

Meanwhile,  the US has declared a national health emergency, giving the head of the Department of Health and Human Services authority to take rapid measures – including authorizing contracts and mobilizing the national disaster system – to respond to the disease, including allowing the use of unapproved drugs.
