'Bird Flu', SARS - Biowarfare or a Pandemic of Propaganda?
Epidemics
Health
Pharma Are we being stampeded into a pandemic? The announcement was made by Dr Nancy Cox of the US Centers for Disease Control. According to an article in The Scotsman, Cox says that a global epidemic of bird flu could dwarf history’s worst infection disaster, which killed between 20 and 40 million people. The reference of course is to the "Spanish Flu" at the end of World War I which, according to a BBC article of almost exactly one year ago, experts say to have possibly been caused by "a bird virus jumping to humans".
The reasoning in the CDC statement goes on like this:
The H5N1 influenza strain that has already killed 42 has a fatality rate of 76 per cent, cases so far suggest. The virus which caused the 1918 pandemic killed only 1 per cent of those it infected.The association is tenuous at best and the reasoning sounds odd, but the message is clear: "Prepare for the worst".
It might be good to remind ourselves that H5N1 is very same bird virus that was being "researched", meaning it was being actively changed and cultured, when Liu Jianlun, a laboratory scientist in China's Guangdong province became the first SARS victim two years ago - on 4 March 2003. Another death of a scientist was later linked to a laboratory in Singapore. The laboratory was culturing the same virus.

The SARS "pandemic" eventually faded away, but not without leaving a deep impression. A high pitched media campaign had convinced the world it was facing a great threat when in reality SARS turned out to be a comparably minor disease with 8.500 infected world wide and around 812 deaths. Compare that to CDC figures of 36.000 flu related deaths yearly in the U.S. alone. Or compare it with the mayhem of more than 100.000 U.S. deaths from the damaging effects of pharmaceutical drugs in the same time span.
"The researchers, from the influenza branch of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, will mate H5N1 and human flu viruses in a process known as reassortment. Viable offspring will be tested in animals thought to be good surrogates for humans, to see if the viruses can infect, can be transmitted easily from infected animals to healthy ones and to note the severity of disease each provokes. In other words, the CDC researchers will be deliberately engineering viruses of pandemic potential. It's high-risk but crucial work, the influenza community insists."This is what we read in an article published in Canada just last December, which quotes experts explaining that such an admittedly high risk undertaking is necessary to prevent a possible outbreak of a new pandemic. I just cannot help but think of little children playing with matches in a wood shed. The thought of it is enough to make one nervous.
In Vietnam, about a week ago, annother pronouncement reported by (CBC Canada): "We at WHO believe that the world is now in the gravest possible danger of a pandemic," Dr. Shigeru Omi, head of the UN health agency's Western Pacific office, warned a scientific conference in Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday. Public health officials fear the H5N1 form of the bird flu virus, which has already passed from person to person twice, will get better at spreading between humans and unleash changes for which the population has no natural immunity.
Thus, in a replay of the SARS scare, we again see government research on how to make the virus jump the species barrier, and again we have dire predictions of imminent disaster from the world's top health authorities.
What are the solutions being readied for us? According to this article, we are in good hands:
Right now, 50 people representing drug companies, governments, and vaccine licensing agencies are meeting in Geneva in a closed-door session to discuss what can be done to prevent this next coming flu pandemic. The World Health Organization has flatly stated there will not be enough vaccine to go around. On their web site, they say, "production capacity for a pandemic vaccine will be vastly inadequate unless other companies engage in vaccine seed development and preparation of batches for clinical testing." The group also stated that in the event of a pandemic, vaccine will be in short supply and will likely be unequally distributed.The "solution" seems to be a vaccine, which is being readied in all haste and behind closed doors, by those very people who are responsible, directly or indirectly, for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year - the ones who have given us a medical system that has been called genocidal in a criminal complaint filed with the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
Officially, there is no mention of good health being the first line of defense. Not one of the high officials seems to think that 'beefing up' our own defenses by good nutrition, rest and supplements is important, although that would make eminent sense. With the dismal record of vaccines in preventing any disease - they are actually immune suppressors - we should very well look at these other options and perhaps we should make them the primary line of defense against any hypothetical "pandemic" encroaching on the people of the world.
Since SARS was defeated not by a vaccine but by hygiene and by people taking matters into their own hands, stocking up on vitamin C and other immune-enhancing nutrients, would it not be better if we followed this successful path?
Why manufacture yet another "cash-cow" for the pharmaceutical companies that contribute little to real health and immunity, when the record clearly shows that vaccines are not the way to go? Health authorities the world over seem hell bent on supporting their friends in the vaccine industry. A recent example is the experimental meningococcal vaccine campaign for over a million children in New Zealand at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, promoted by the health authorities with shamelessly exaggerated figures of disease incidence.
In the U.S., despite a scare campaign in the media and available flu vaccine doses drastically reduced because of contamination-related problems for vaccine maker Chiron, one of only two U.S. flu vaccine suppliers, the flu has failed so far to spiral out of control.
Yet, according to recent press reports, anti viral drugs are being "stockpiled to beat the deadly flu" and hundreds of Millions of Dollars are "Needed to Control the Bird Flu".
In the face of much evidence that food based nutrients "boost the immune system" and supplements such as simple vitamin C have been found effective in warding off SARS, it would seem that such strategies should be used ubiquitously as a first line of defense.
Instead, we see research into how to make the bird flu virus more deadly, we see vaccine campaigns being prepared, we see anti-aids drugs making their entree onto the stage as possible agents to "combat the bird flu".
In the media stoked frenzy, we seem to conveniently forget to test vaccines for safety. This introduces a scientific uncertainty. Will an ensuing pandemic really be the fault of a "virus" or could it perhaps be induced by the very vaccines that are touted as the solution. But business is good, it seems - at least for now - for Big Pharma.

By Marjorie Tietjen - Rense.com 3-16-5
First let's begin with a discussion of what properties constitute an effective biological warfare agent. The Media, The Centers For Disease Control and The Department of Defense would have us believe that the most threatening biological agents are lethal microbes which cause acute disease and then death ... such as anthrax and smallpox. It appears that we are being intentionally misled as to where the real danger lies. Government biological warfare documents speak of incapacitating agents as being the most effective at disabling a nation. When a population is infected with a lethal agent, it is very obvious that measures need to be taken such as quarantine, antibiotics, etc. This helps to curb and abort the epidemic. A much more discreet, diabolical and effective method of disabling a country would be to employ a moderately infectious organism or combination (Russian Doll Cocktails) which would pass slowly through the population unnoticed.Ebola-like virus death toll rises
