12.12.2009: Der Pandemie entkommen: Baxter schickt verunreinigten Impfstoff

Im Februar 2009 hat der österreichische Zweig der Pharmafirma Baxter ganze 72 Kilogramm mit aktiven Vogelgrippe-Viren kontaminierten Grippeimpfstoff an 16 Labors in vier Länder versendet. Die Viren stammten ursprünglich von der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO.

Der Aufmerksamkeit der Mitarbeiter eines tschechischen Labors ist es zu verdanken, daß dies erkannt wurde. Ihnen waren ihre Versuchstiere, Frettchen, erkrankt und teilweise gestorben. Gegen die Vertragsbedingungen von Baxter untersuchten die Mitarbeiter den Impfstoff und entdeckten die Viren. Ganz offensichtlich hätte dieser aktive Virus in dem saisonalen Grippeimpfstoff in dieser Menge viele Menschen anstecken und eine echte Pandemie auslösen können!

Baxter hat den Vorfall bestätigt. Die Wiener Staatsanwaltschaft hat den Fall zu den Akten gelegt! Die Journalistin Jane Bürgermeister hat Strafanzeige gegen die WHO und Baxter gestellt. War das der Plan, um eine echte Pandemie zu bekommen und viel Impfstoff zu verkaufen? Das polnische Fernsehen brachte einen Bericht über den Fall, den wir Ihnen hier aus dem Englischen übersetzt haben. Die polnische Regierung kauft den Pandemie-Impfstoff Pandemrix nicht! Die Regierung in Neuseeland hat angeordnet, wegen dieses Zwischenfalls und der Unsicherheit bei Baxter keine Impfungen mehr zu kaufen! Auch diese Fakten erscheinen lediglich wie ein weiteres Puzzleteil im Gesamtbild: Der Aufbau einer Neuen Welt-Ordnung (NWO) und die Reduktion der Bevölkerung!

Zitat: “Hiermit fordere ich einen überprüfbaren und dokumentierten Virusbeweis für das behauptete H1N1-Schweinegrippevirus an, indem ich Herrn Andreas Volkart und Herrn Daniel Trappitsch (GAM), mit einem unabhängigen Notar und dem Virusentdecker Dr. rer. nat. Stefan Lanka und weitere beteiligte Beobachter mit Videokamera darin willentlich unterstütze, dass sie sich in einem WHO- oder Goldstandard-Referenz-Viruslabor das behauptete H1N1-Virus zeigen und nachweisen lassen (Informationsfreiheit Art. 16 und Wissenschaftsfreiheit Art. 20 nach Bundesverfassung gewährleisten dies). Das Labor muss über die geeigneten Instrumente verfügen, um ein H1N1-Virus nach dem Goldstandard der Virologie zu isolieren, biochemisch charakterisieren zu lassen, und dann mit einem Elektronenmikroskop genau jene Bilder zu erzeugen, die für das behauptete H1N1-Virus anscheinend bereits vorliegen.”


18.12.2009, Deutschlandfunk: Angstmache zum Nutzen der Pharmaindustrie.
Wolfgang Wodarg: Grippe in Mexiko wurde „aufgeblasen“ zur Pandemie

Zitat: “Die Hysterie um die Schweinegrippe war ein erfolgreiches Marketing für die Impfstoffhersteller, findet der Epidemiologe Wolfgang Wodarg. Man habe die Grippe in Mexiko „zu einer Pandemie hochstilisiert und damit Angst und Schrecken verbreitet“ – mit Erfolg: Es gab Abnahmegarantien für Impfstoffe.
“Warnungen hatte es zur Genüge gegeben: vor einer hochgefährlichen, weltweit grassierenden Seuche, der sogenannten Schweinegrippe. Wir hatten uns auf das Schlimmste eingestellt, Kranke, Tote und die Impfung dagegen, obwohl ziemlich getestet – die wurde zu einem Akt der Solidarität stilisiert, besonders seit die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO für diese Grippe die höchste Pandemiestufe ausgerufen hatte.
Doch wer hat die Entscheidungen der WHO beeinflusst? „Pharmaunternehmen“, sagt Wolfgang Wodarg, selbst Arzt und Epidemiologe und jetzt Vorsitzender des Gesundheitsausschusses in der parlamentarischen Versammlung des Europarates.

18.12.2009, impfschaden.info: Schweinegrippe – ein riesiger Schwindel?

Im Januar 2010 wird der Europarat einen Untersuchungsausschuss einsetzen, der klären soll, inwieweit Wissenschaftler undstaatliche Behörden durch die Pharmaindustrie beeinflusst worden sind. In dem einstimmig beschlossenen Antrag heisst es, man habe Millionen gesunder Menschen unötigerweise dem Risiko ungetesteter Impfstoffe ausgesetzt

Initiator ist der ehemalige Bundestagsabgeordnete und Mediziner Wolfgang Wodarg (SPD). Er ist Gesundheitsexperte, Internist und Spezialist für Lungenheilkunde, für Hygiene und Umweltmedizin. Von 1994 bis 2009 war er Mitglied im Gesundheitsausschuss des Deutschen Bundestages. Dr. Wodarg ist Mitglied des Gesundheitsausschusses des Europarates. Dort führt er den Vorsitz. 
Bei dem Untersuchungsausschuss geht es vor allem auch um die Rolle der WHO, die im Juni die höchste Pandemiestufe ausrief, obwohl dafür keinerlei Notwenigkeit bestand.

Nach Wodargs Auffassung kann es nicht sein, dass man die Pandemie-Definition einer Organisation überlasse, die offensichtlich dem Einfluss von Pharmaverkäufern unterliege.

Ebenfalls Zweifel an der Seriosität der WHO äusserte der  Schweizer Gesundheitsminister.

16.12.2009, Tagesspiegel: Gesundheit Schweinerei mit der Grippe

Zitat: “Gesundheitsgefahr durch gefälschte Pandemien – unter diesem Motto beschäftigt sich der Europarat im Januar mit dem Einfluss der Pharmaindustrie auf die weltweiten Kampagnen gegen die Vogel- und Schweinegrippe.
Rainer Woratschka

Berlin – Vorgesehen sind eine Dringlichkeitsdebatte in der Parlamentarischen Versammlung und ein Untersuchungsausschuss.

Initiiert wurde beides von dem ehemaligen deutschen Bundestagsabgeordneten Wolfgang Wodarg (SPD), der in der Parlamentarischen Versammlung des Europarates noch als Chef des Unterausschusses für Gesundheit amtiert. Wodarg ist Arzt und Epidemiologe, er hält den Umgang mit der Schweinegrippe für „einen der größten Medizinskandale des Jahrhunderts“. In seinem vom Ausschuss einstimmig beschlossenen Antrag kritisiert er die Beeinflussung von Wissenschaftlern und Behörden durch geschäftstüchtige Pharmaunternehmer.

Dies habe dazu geführt, dass „unnötigerweise Millionen gesunder Menschen dem Risiko mangelhaft getesteter Impfstoffe ausgesetzt“ worden seien – bei einer Infektionskrankheit, die „erheblich harmloser“ sei als alle Grippewellen der Vorjahre und „nicht einmal ein Zehntel der hierbei üblichen Todesfälle“ verursacht habe.

Schlimmer noch als die Tatsache, dass die Impfstoffhersteller mit ihrer Panikmache auf Kosten der Steuerzahler so prächtig verdient hätten, findet Wodarg, „dass man dafür auch Körperverletzung in Kauf genommen hat“. Die in den Impfstoffen steckenden Wirkungsverstärker seien kaum erprobt worden, sagte der SPD-Politiker dem Tagesspiegel. Und auftretende Nebenwirkungen bis hin zu gefährlichen Nervenlähmungen würden nach wie vor nur lückenhaft registriert.

Weil die WHO nicht parlamentarisch kontrolliert werde, müssten dort nun die Regierungen Konsequenzen verlangen, fordert Wodarg. Es könne nicht sein, dass man die Pandemie-Definition einer Organisation überlasse, die offensichtlich dem Einfluss von Pharmaverkäufern unterliege. Viele der Entscheidungsträger dort kämen aus der Industrie und gingen wieder dahin zurück, sagte Wodarg. Zu untersuchen sei zudem die Rolle von und die Einflussnahme auf Paul-Ehrlich- und Robert-Koch-Institut, die in Deutschland entscheidenden Stellen.”

03.01.2010, Welt: Der enorme Schaden der Pandemie, die keine war

“Der Umgang mit der Epidemie, die keine war, ist für die Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO, die deutschen Ministerien und Seucheninstitutionen ein Debakel. Merke: Wer Gutes tun will, sollte es sich wohl überlegen und nicht Hysterie schüren. Es ist ein Musterbeispiel dafür, wie formale Rechtfertigungen und Absicherungsängstlichkeiten eine Wirklichkeit schaffen, die Schilda heißt. Letztlich war es der gesunde Menschenverstand der Bevölkerung, sich dann doch nicht diesem Impf-Sog zu ergeben.”

Komm.: 2020 war bei der nächsten Fake-Pandemie und Coronoia davon nichts mehr übrig! Welches Framing ist in den dazwischen liegenden nur zehn Jahren passiert? Es darf aber nicht vergessen werden, daß es Ende 2009 noch Planungen gab, Anfang 2010 das THW zu beauftragen, Impfzelte aufzubauen. Es war wohl Glück, daß es nicht soweit gekommen ist. Da soll wohl auch ein mutiger Politiker auf die Bremse getreten haben, der sich hat impfkritisch informieren lassen.


12 Jan. 2010: PACE winter session: ‘Faked pandemics, a threat to health’

Strasbourg, 12.01.2010 – “Faked pandemics: a threat to health” will be one of the major themes of the next plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), to be held in Strasbourg from 25 to 29 January. The PACE Social Affairs Committee has proposed the holding of an urgent debate on this subject.

Bis zu 10 Milliarden US-Dollar Gewinn könnten die Hersteller mit dem Impfstoff gegen die Schweinegrippe am Ende gemacht haben. Die hatte die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) zuvor zur Pandemie erklärt. Im Fall der Schweingrippe “kam eine uniforme Empfehlung zugunsten der Pharma- Industrie zustande”, erklärt dazu Pharmakologe Prof. Peter Schönhöfer im Interview mit Frontal21. Einige der Berater der WHO stünden auf Gehaltslisten pharmazeutischer Unternehmen.”

25.01.2010, taz: Hype um Schweinegrippe: “Es stinkt nach Einfluss der Industrie”

Zitat: “Der SPD-Politiker Wodarg hat im Europarat eine Anhörung zum Hype um die Schweinegrippe erreicht. Er will wissen, warum Regierungen überreagierten und die Pharmaindustrie Milliarden verdiente. […]

Auf welche Fragen wollen Sie Antwort?

Wir wollen verstehen, wie es dazu kam, dass die WHO plötzlich die Schwelle zur Ausrufung einer Pandemie so herabgesetzt hat, dass eine ganz normale Grippewelle zum Alarm führen konnte. Und wir wollen wissen, wie das mit Verträgen zwischen Regierungen und Pharmaindustrie zusammenhing, die in Kraft treten mussten, sobald die WHO eine Pandemie ausruft. Weltweit ist so Impfstoff für rund 20 Milliarden US-Dollar verkauft worden.

Haben Sie eine Vermutung?

Es stinkt danach, dass die Industrie Einfluss auf die WHO genommen hat. Dass es sich um einen echten Fehlalarm handelt – dafür gibt es wissenschaftliche Belege. Schon 2005, 2006 war es bei der Vogelgrippe ähnlich – die wurde nie von Mensch zu Mensch übertragen. Jetzt erleben wir, dass die Schweinegrippe weit weniger Schaden anrichtet als jede normale Grippewelle. […]

Sie saßen lang im Gesundheitsausschuss – wird da so etwas diskutiert?

Ich habe das versucht. In den Instituten und vom Ministerium wurde ich höflich abgepuffert.

Viele Weichen für die Pandemie-Vorsorge sind unter Regierungen mit SPD-Beteiligung gestellt worden…

Ja, das entsetzt mich.

War Ihre Partei zu blauäugig?

Man muss unterscheiden zwischen der Partei und bürokratischen Apparaten. Aber klar: Ministerin und Staatssekretäre tragen Verantwortung. Die hätten besser auf Kritiker wie mich hören sollen, dann hätten sie viel Geld gespart.”

Komm.: Es geht nie ums Geld sparen, die werfen es mit vollen Händen zum Fenster raus… Warren Buffetts Klassenkampf gegen die Völker… Dr. Wodarg hätte besser schon 2010 die Virusbeweisfrage gestellt und die Einhaltung der verbindlichen Regeln der Wissenschaft gefordert, wie Durchführung von Kontrollexperimenten mit nicht-infiziertem Material usw.


26.01.2010: Public hearing on handling of H1N1 pandemic

Public hearing on handling of H1N1 pandemic

“Thank you very much Madam Chair, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I would like to give you a brief status report of what has occurred over the past years and what the situation is today. We see that the population is exposed to a mild flu. People get sick as they usually do in winter season. Some have even respiratory symptoms. But the extent of all this is considerably less than in most of the previous years. Before this development and these subjective experiences within the population, we saw that last April there were very intense reports about a flu spreading in Mexico City and its region, a region with about 20 million inhabitants, i.e. a very densely populated area. Given the fact that the influenza is always a very contagious disease which spreads very rapidly and leads to a great number of cases, it was surprising to see the extent to which attention was focussed on that flu already after the reporting of only hundreds of cases. After a mere 1 000 of cases, the word ‘pandemic’ already began to be used by scientists collaborating with the administrations in charge.

I would like to give you a report on the situation of a town where I established a sentinel a few years ago, which was Flensburg, a town of less than 100 000 inhabitants. Here we were able to observe regularly how many people went to the doctor’s and had typical flu symptoms. In winter season at least 10% of the population got sick, so more than ten thousand people normally developed flu symptoms within two weeks time and among them up to 30% with an Influenza variety. In such a region -according to WHO- normally the seasonal flu goes along with 10 to 13 deadly cases attributable to influenza. In Mexico 2009 there were not even 1000 persons who had contracted the disease and about 11 attributable deaths when the panic broke out over this new flu infection. (At the beginning the administration shocked with higher death rates, which some weeks showed out to be overestimated.)

Those who are over 60 years of age hardly contracted the flu. It has become clear in the meantime that the current influenza affects young people most. There is a relatively higher number of young people who contracted this flu which is not surprising at all. Usually, when we observe a flu coming, one of the factors, which helps us determine if it is already known or not is the occurrence amongst the elderly. If they do not get sick they seem to already have immunity against the virus, may be by former infections, may be because of former vaccinations.

However, despite all this, at the end of April 2009, there were heavy discussions as to whether the pandemic plans, which had already been developed, should be implemented and at what level, because the levels of “pandemic preparedness” each have their specific consequences attached to them. Associated Press reported on May 19, 2009, that China, Britain, Japan and a dozen of other countries had urged the WHO not to use the proposed new definition of a “pandemic” and to “be very cautious about declaring the arrival of a swine flu pandemic, fearing that a premature announcement could cause worldwide panic and confusion.”

In regard to this, I have to remind, that there were doubts already about WHO’s alarm on the avian flu in 2005/2006, a bird disease which in fact has never been transmitted between humans. There had only been observed singular individual ‘zoonotic’ cases, cumulating to not even 500 worldwide. These cases were found amongst humans, who were very intensely exposed to avian flu while being in contact with sick animals. It was then officially stated by the WHO, in panic-stricken terms, that this flu could threaten mankind and that a great number of humans could fall ill and die. This is why medication worth billions of dollars was bought and stocked at the time. From a scientific view, this medication had never been clinically tested for the disease for which it was marketed, given that the avian flu had never become contagious among human beings and thus those medicines could not be tested because the disease they should be provided for did never exist.

This made me quite sceptical at the time. Since then I observed, how pandemic plans were developed in many countries and how “pandemic preparedness” was formulated and inaugurated. As a consequence of this avian flu hype many contracts between national states and pharmaceutical manufacturers were signed so as to ensure the availability of relevant vaccines in case of a real future pandemic. The pharmaceutical companies then started to establish a second line of flu vaccines for pandemic use. They developed their new vaccines by using specific patented adjuvants or breeding layers for the virus antigen to come. This was the reason, why the resulting vaccines could be monopolised by a few companies and marketed for a much higher price than those seasonal vaccines, which are traditionally produced in chicken eggs and which could be provided parallely and thus very fast by many laboratories all over the world using non-patented procedures. It seems, that the indication for the new, patented vaccines primarily followed economical strategies and was not necessary to optimise public health needs. But this should be scientifically inquired.

The supply with pandemic vaccines on the national levels was contracted in many countries including a take-over of accountability for side effects by the customer state. These contracts and marketing commitments were to take effect when a global flu pandemic was declared by the WHO. So the WHO basically held the trigger for the implementation of the pandemic preparedness plans and with this for high revenues for the involved producers of pandemic vaccines and some antiviral drugs. The contracts signed between states and pharmaceutical companies were for their majority secret because the pharmaceutical companies insisted on their non-publication. Only recently some of them were made public by whistleblowers.

The WHO by its decision to announce the pandemic therefore had a key role to play. By its announcement, it also decided on expenditures to be made from national budgets worldwide, which, according to analysts, amount to 18 billion USD. This is a lot of money which could have been used for many other health issues. Every day there are 26 000 children worldwide who die of avoidable diseases and undernourishment! This is something we need to consider when we look at the allocation of health expenditures.

On 11th June 2009, the WHO raised the level of influenza pandemic alert from phase 5 to 6 and declared a global flu pandemic. Therefore the contracts established were to take effect. The pharmaceutical companies must have been waiting for this announcement, which was made even though the flu was relatively mild. This was possible because a new definition of pandemic levels had been adopted just beforehand. I will give you the old definition of a pandemic, or of what used to be considered a pandemic, which is quoted from the National Pandemic Plan of Germany. The same criteria were used in several publications of the WHO and used to be international standard. The definition, which was used by the German health authorities in May 2007, reads as follows: “An influenza pandemic is a worldwide epidemic caused by a new strain of virus which leads to infection rates and mortality rates which exceed seasonal but similarly heavy waves of influenza by several orders of magnitude. A precondition for an influenza pandemic is the appearance of a viral subtype which had not yet circulated amongst the human population or which had occurred so long ago that no residual immunity remains amongst the population and which is capable of provoking severe illness and of disseminating effectively from one human to another.”

These various criteria did not apply to the flu that we observed arising last year. Therefore, the current “pandemic” could only be launched by changing the definition of a pandemic and by lowering the threshold for its declaration. The discussion about changing the definition along with the WHO pandemic preparedness agenda came to a head last May, when dozens of member states asked the organization to withdraw it because they were afraid of this new definition to raise panic and to lead to unjustified high expenses.

It is only this change that made it possible to transform a relatively mild flu into a worldwide pandemic, to implement relevant plans, which allowed pharmaceutical companies to transform their contracts with many governments all over the world into cash. Therefore millions of people were vaccinated for no good reason, and children were vaccinated whereas it was not even clear, if the vaccine had a positive effect on them because this was never clinically tested and proven.

The so-called “pandemic” vaccines were used. They involved higher risks than usual vaccines against seasonal flu: in some adjuvants were added and injected of which we know, that they stimulate the immune system manifold, which means that they could possibly lead to autoimmune diseases (such as multiple sclerosis) and immunological complications and stroger local side effects. New procedures were allowed onto the markets to produce vaccine products including bio-reactors using fast growing cancer-like cells. The possibility that their proteins could induce cancer when injected involuntarily as impurities to the patient has never been excluded by clinical testing, that needs a much longer observation period than excluding other side effects like allergic and acute toxic ones.

So we can see that the WHO undertook an incomprehensible action, which up to now was never justified by any scientific evidence. WHO ‘gambled away’ public confidence. It does therefore seem right that we investigate this matter within the Council of Europe to find out how the WHO could undertake such risky action in spite of lots of warning and protesting voices from scientists and national Governments. It did so in the case of the avian flu and again for the swine flu. The main questions to investigate are: Why has this been done, who is behind this, what is the core of this public-private-partnership which was introduced ten years ago, what is the role of the enterprises, who participates in relevant decision-making processes and who takes the overall responsibility?”


26.01.2010: European Parliament to Investigate WHO and “Pandemic” Scandal

by F. William Engdahl

The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January 2010 on the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global swine flu campaign, focusing especially on extent of the pharma’s industry’s influence on WHO. The Health Committee of the EU Parliament has unanimously passed a resolution calling for the inquiry.

The step is a long-overdue move to public transparency of a “Golden Triangle” of drug corruption between WHO, the pharma industry and academic scientists that has permanently damaged the lives of millions and even caused death.

The parliament motion was introduced by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, former SPD Member of the German Bundestag and now chairman of the Health Committee of PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe). Wodarg is a medical doctor and epidemiologist, a specialist in lung disease and environmental medicine, who considers the current “pandemic” Swine Flu campaign of the WHO to be “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the Century.”1][1]

The text of the resolution just passed by a sufficient number in the Council of Europe Parliament says among other things, “In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make  them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of  insufficiently tested vaccines.

The “bird-flu”-campaign (2005/06) combined with the “swine-flu”-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility and accountability of important international health-agencies.”1][2]

The Parliamentary inquiry will look into the issue of ,,falsified pandemic” that was declared by WHO in June 2009 on the advice of its group of academic experts, SAGE, many of whose members have been documented to have intense financial ties to the same pharmaceutical giants such as GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, who benefit from the production of drugs and untested H1N1 vaccines. They will investigate the influence of the pharma industry in creation of a worldwide campaign against the so-called H5N1 “Avian Flu” and H1N1 Swine Flu. The inquiry will be given “urgent” priority in the general assembly of the parliament.

In his official statement to the Committee, Wodarg criticized the influence of the pharma industry on scientists and officials of WHO, stating that it has led to the situation where “unnecessarily millions of healthy people are exposed to the risk of poorly tested vaccines,” and that, for a flu strain that is “vastly less harmful” than all previous flu epidemics.

Wodarg says the role of the WHO and its the pandemic emergency declaration in June needs to be the special focus of the European Parliamentary inquiry. For the first time, the WHO criteria for a pandemic was changed in April 2009 as the first Mexico cases were reported, to make not the actual risk of a disease but the number of cases of the disease basis to declare “Pandemic.”

By classifying the swine flu as pandemic, nations were compelled to implement pandemic plans and also the purchase swine flu vaccines. Because WHO is not subject to any parliamentary control, Wodarg argues it is necessary for governments to insist on accountability. The inquiry will also to look at the role of the two critical agencies in Germany  issuing guidelines on the pandemic, the Paul-Ehrlich and the Robert-Koch Institute.

26.01.2010: Erkrankungen nach Schweinegrippe-Impfung melden! (Jan. 2010)

27 Jan 2010, Huffington Post: Swine Flu Didn’t Fly

Niko KyriakouNiko Kyriakou

For makers of the swine flu vaccine, 2009 was a year to remember. By June, CSL Limited’s annual profits had risen 63 percent over 2008. GlaxoSmithKine’s 2009 earnings spiked 30 percent in the third quarter alone, to $2.19 billion. Roche made a stunning 12 times more in the second quarter of 2009 than of 2008. But in 2010, drug companies may get their comeuppance.

On Tuesday, the Council of Europe launched an investigation into whether the World Health Organization “faked” the swine flu pandemic to boost profits for vaccine manufacturers. The inquiry, held in Strasbourg, France, vindicates a worldwide movement of insiders, experts, and elected officials who accuse the United Nations organization of misleading the world into buying millions of unnecessary vaccines.

“I have never heard such a worldwide echo to a health political action,” Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, an epidemiologist who formerly led the health committee for the Council of Europe, said at Tuesday’s hearing.

Dr. Ulrich Keil, director of the WHO’s Collaborating Centre for Epidemiology, hammered his own organization and WHO’s flu chief, Dr Keiji Fukuda, for “producing angst campaigns”.

“With SARS, with avian flu, always the predictions are wrong…Why don’t we learn from history?” Keil said. “It [swine flu] produced a lot of turmoil in the pubic and was completely exaggerated in contrast with all the really important matters we have to deal with in public health.”

Last year the World Health Organization predicted that H1N1 could infect two billion and claim hundreds of thousands of lives, while President Obama’s science advisers said the outbreak could infect up to 120 million Americans and kill 90,000. But thankfully, H1N1 turned out to be a mild flu. The type-A influenza has taken around 14,000 lives worldwide, according to World Health Organization numbers from January 22. The CDC said in December confirmed US deaths had reached 4,000, although it recently estimated that due to underreporting, the true death toll could be as high as 16,500 – a tragic sum, but less than half of what the CDC attributes to seasonal flu-related illness. In most of the northern hemisphere, hog flu has been on the decline for some about three months. New transmissions are largely contained to North Africa and South Asia, according to the WHO.

Signs swine flu wasn’t much of a killer grew throughout 2009, but WHO and most domestic health agencies around the globe chose instead to man the war bugles at full volume. The result was that governments poured tens of billions of dollars into vaccines. The US alone has spent $2 billion on the drugs and has allocated $7.5 billion in supplemental spending for H1N1 preparedness.

With the disease basically over, however, countries are stuck with millions of unused doses. French and German governments have had to cancel millions of orders of the vaccines due to falling demand and late-breaking news that European health authorities had recommended twice the necessary dosage. The CDC has dealt with the glut in another way. It now says all Americans should go and get the shot – a shift from its earlier recommendation that at-risk groups such as the young, sick, pregnant, and nurses seek injections first. But why should everyone get a shot when that the disease is petering out?

On January 22, WHO issued a statement calling allegations that it irresponsibly stoked H1N1 fears, “scientifically wrong and historically incorrect.” The statement defends figures WHO publicized on transmission rates, mortality, and the virulence of swine flu.

“The world is going through a real pandemic. The description of it as a fake is wrong and irresponsible. We welcome any legitimate review process that can improve our work.”

At the hearing, WHO’s flu director, Dr Keiji Fukuda, denied the accusations against WHO.

“Let me state clearly for the record – the influenza pandemic policies and responses recommended and taken by WHO were not improperly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry.”

Previously, WHO had offered scant response to allegations of corruption, but deigned to defend itself after the Council of Europe meeting was announced. The public meeting to examine accusations against WHO was set up by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), which represents 800 million people in 47 countries. The Council’s January 26 meeting involved WHO officials, European drug-makers, and medical experts. PACE’s findings are expected to be announced January 29 and will likely be followed by an in-depth study and recommendations to European governments.

The hearing is just latest in a series of investigations into WHO’s propriety, which also include a 2009 Danish Parliamentary review of links between WHO expert – Albert Osterhaus – and makers of the swine flu drugs. Russian lawmaker Igor Barinov has also started an inquiry into WHO’s ties to H1N1 drug makers. In France, Health Minister Roselyne Bachelot was forced to a Paris court on January 4th over swine flu campaign irregularities – including ordering millions unnecessary vaccine doses. Demonstrations over statistical improprieties have taken place in Scotland and Canada.

Inquiries into WHO misdoing are likely to plunge deep into the statistical methods for data collection, however, it takes no expertise to see that health agencies’ data about H1N1 was wildly misleading. In addition to bad guesses about how many would die, a study released December 7 by the Harvard School of Public Health found that the WHO also estimated the deadliness of H1N1 to be 40 to 250 times higher than it was.

Proving the drug industry squeezed WHO into selling swine flu is very difficult to establish, but the string of clues which points to this corruption is not hard to follow.
