Influenza A: They Organized a Psychosis

Influenza A: They Organized a Psychosis
Bruno Odent, L'Humanité
Wednesday 06 January 2010

Exposé: the president of the Council of Europe's Health Commission, German Wolfgang Wodarg, accuses pharmaceutical lobbies and governments. He has obtained the launch of an investigation by the official body he heads on the role played by laboratories in the campaign of panic around the virus. A no-holds-barred interview.

Former member of the German Socialist Party, Wolfgang Wodarg is a physician and epidemiologist. He garnered the Council of Europe's Health Commission members' unanimous consent for a commission of inquiry into the role of pharmaceutical firms in the management of H1N1 flu by the WHO and by governments ...


Bruno Odet for L'Humanité: What attracted your suspicions about laboratories' undue influence on the decisions taken with respect to influenza A?

Wolfgang Wodarg: We are faced with a failure of the great national institutions charged with alerting us to the risks and responding to them should a pandemic arise. In April, when the first alarm came from Mexico, I was very surprised by the figures the World Health Organization (WHO) was advancing to justify the proclamation of a pandemic. I had suspicions immediately: the figures were quite weak and the level of alarm very elevated. There weren't even a thousand sick people before there was already talk of the pandemic of the century. And the extreme alert decreed was based on the fact that the virus was new. But the characteristic of flu-type illnesses is to develop very fast with viruses that take on new forms each time by moving in on new hosts - animals, people etc. There's nothing new in that. A new "flu" virus of that kind appears every year. In reality, nothing justified sounding the alarm at that level. That was only possible because the WHO changed its definition of pandemic at the beginning of May. Before that date, it was not only necessary that the illness break out in several countries at once, but also that it have very serious consequences, with a number of mortalities in excess of the usual averages. That aspect was erased from the new definition, while the only criterion retained was that of the rate of the illness's diffusion. And it was alleged that the virus was dangerous because populations had not been able to develop immune defenses against it. Which was false for this virus, since we had been able to observe that people over 60 already had antibodies, which is to say that they had already been in contact with analogous viruses. That's why there were practically no people over 60 who developed the illness. Yet, they were the people it was recommended to have be rapidly vaccinated.

Some of the comments on this article were interesting and may be relevant to this
https://www.indymedia.ie/article/94065

I'm glad to see that people are finally investigating this whole business.

At this stage, If I were to read from a trusted source that such corporations engineered it and spread it themselves, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

Such crucial research should be "open source" patent free and not done for profit. It should be for the good of mankind. These corporations cannot be trusted to act solely in the interests of humanity. All corporations are designed to care about is profit. In doing so they are acting logically according to their remit.

In letting such organisations control vital processes like vaccine production, we on the other hand are not acting very logically.

I totally agree with the former comment made. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out it was a contrived exercise! This just goes to show what is wrong with the world. Corporations have so much control over the world that is hard to see why we bother electing anyone? They will be the downfall of this planet, they already are. And not one country has the balls to stand up to any of them.

They will be judged. People have been pushed too far and it will come to a head, and i hope that they get no sympathy, i hope people tear these corporations and their directors to pieces, the proper job is to infect them with the "volatile" substances that they deal with. Lets see how quickly they get a cure, and what price?

Whether people or not like him Michael Moores Sicko is an insight as to what happens when a country values its citizens over corporations or not! Hippocratic oath or hypocritical? A disturbing pretense! 2012 here we come.

I could not agree more with the comment above ...

It seems to me that everything can become anti-human which can begin as a testing ground of sorts...
God be with the days when we were classed as simple people who were allowed to make our own way through life without fear of interference from the big conglomerates.........Now when would that have been one wonders ?
