Vaccines as Biological Weapons? Live Avian Flu

Virus P laced in Baxter Vaccine Materials Sent to 18Countries

http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html

(NaturalNews) There's a popular medical thriller novel in which a global pandemic is intentionally set off byan 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 fluwhich 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 virusesbeing 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" (ifyou 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/shownews.php4?getnews=2009-02-26-5323&pc=s01), 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 newpandemic."

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?

Was the viral contamination intentional?The shocking answer is that this couldn't have been an accident. Why? Because Baxter International

adheres to something called BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) - a set of laboratory safety protocols that prevent thecross-contamination of materials.

As explained on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosafety_level#Biosafety_level_3 ):

interestingly, it began in multiple cities, simultaneously! There is no single point of origin with the 1918 flu.It appears to have "spontaneously" sprung up across multiple cities all at once, including a military base in

Kansas. (Kansas? Yep. So how did it get to Kansas in an era when air traffic was virtually non-existent?

Vaccines, of course!)

All those cities and servicemen have one thing in common: Flu shot vaccinations given to them by themilitary.

If you put the pieces together on this, it's not too difficult to suspect that influenza could potentially be usedas a tool of control by governments or drug companies to catalyze outrageous profit-taking or power

grabbing agendas. A desperate, infected population will gladly give up anything or pay anything for thepromise of being cured.

Or was it just an innocent mistake? Oops!But for the skeptics who dismiss any such talk of conspiracy theories, let's examine the other possibility:

That a global avian flu pandemic was nearly unleashed unintentionally due to the outrageous incompetenceof the companies handling these viral strains.

As we just saw, this is a very real possibility. Had this live bird flu virus not been detected, it could havevery easily found its way into vaccines that were injected into human beings. And this, in turn, could have

unleashed a global avian flu pandemic.

If the drug companies making and handling these materials are so careless, then it seems like it's only a

matter of time before something slips through the safety precautions again and gets unleashed intothe wild. And that leads to essentially the same scenario: A global pandemic, widespread death, health care

failures and a desperate population begging for vaccines.

So either way -- whether it's intentional or not -- you essentially get the same result.

Why a global pandemic is only a matter of timeI am on the record stating that a global pandemic is only a matter of time. The living conditions under whichhumans have placed themselves (crowded cities, suppressed immune systems, etc.) are ideal for the spread

of infectious disease. But I never dreamed drug companies could actually be accelerating the pandemic

timeline by contaminating vaccine materials with live avian flu viruses known to be highly infectious to

humans. This, it seems, is a whole new cause for concern.

You can believe what you will. Maybe you agree with the nefarious plot theory and you agree thatcorporations are capable of great evils in their quest for profits. Or perhaps you can't accept that, so you go

with the "accidental contamination" theory, in which your beliefs describe a very dangerous world wherebiohazard safety protocols are insufficient to protect us from all the crazy viral strains being toyed with at

drug companies and government labs all across the world.

In either case, the world is not a very safe place when deadly viral strains are placed in the hands of the

inept.


4/21

We are like children playing God with Mother Nature, rolling the dice in a global game of Viral Roulette

where the odds are not in our favor. With companies like Baxter engaged in behaviors that are just begging

to see the human race devastated by a global pandemic wipeout, it might be a good time to question thesanity of using viral strains in vaccines in the first place.

Vaccine-pushing scientists are so proud of their vaccines. They think they've conquered Mother Nature.Imagine their surprise when one day they learn they have actually killed 100 million human beings by

unleashing a global pandemic.

We came close to it this week. A global pandemic may have just been averted by the thinnest of margins.Yet people go on with their lives, oblivious to what nearly happened.

What's inescapable at this point is the fact that the threat of a pandemic that looms for all of human

civilization, and that drug companies may, themselves, be the source of that threat.

Baxter International Unintentionally Sent Flu Samplesto Companies that Contained H5N1 Avian Flu

February 26th, 2009

Thats the headline, but the reality of what happened might indicate a far more serious situation.

In U.S. Researchers Trying to Create Pandemic Avian Flu, pay very close attention to the part about the

ferrets:

Now, flash forward to today.

What happened to the ferrets that received Baxters H5N1 virus material?

The animals died promptly according to the story below.


6/21

The sixty-four-thousand-dollar question is: Did any ferrets in neighboring cagesthat didnt receive the

Baxter H5N1 virusalso get sick and die? The answer to that question is conveniently missing from every

story that I have found about this incident.

If the answer is yes it means that Baxter didnt supply standard H5N1 virus, but rather aweaponized/pandemic version that is the same as or similar to the one that the National Institute of Allergy

and Infectious Diseases was developing.

Via: The Canadian Press:

Officials are trying to get to the bottom of how vaccine manufacturer Baxter International Inc. made

experimental virus material based on a human flu strain but contaminated with the H5N1 avian flu virus

and then distributed it to an Austrian company.

That company, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then disseminated the supposed H3N2 virus product to

subcontractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. Authorities in the four European countries are

looking into the incident, and their efforts are being closely watched by the World Health Organization and

the European Centre for Disease Control.

Though it appears none of the 36 or 37 people who were exposed to the contaminated product became

infected, the incident is being described as a serious error on the part of Baxter, which is on the brink of

securing a European licence for an H5N1 vaccine. That vaccine is made at a different facility, in the Czech

Republic.

For this particular incident the horse did not get out (of the barn), Dr. Angus Nicoll of the ECDC said

from Stockholm.

But that doesnt mean that we and WHO and the European Commission and the others arent taking it as

seriously as you would any laboratory accident with dangerous pathogens - which you have here.

Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses - if that indeed happened - could have

resulted in dire consequences. Nicoll said officials still arent 100 per cent sure the mixture contained live

H5N1 viruses. But given that ferrets exposed to the mixture died, it likely did.

H5N1 doesnt easily infect people, but H3N2 viruses do. They are one of two types of influenza A viruses

that infect people each flu season.

If someone exposed to the mixture had been co-infected with H5N1 and H3N2, the person could have

served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people. That mixing

process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.

Research published last summer by scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that in the

laboratory, H5N1 and H3N2 viruses mated readily. While less virulent than H5N1, a number of the

offspring viruses appeared to retain at least a portion of the killing power of their dangerous parent.


7/21

Baxter International, which is based in Deerfield, Ill., said the contamination was the result of an error in its

research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.

The facility had been contracted by Avir Green Hills to make what Baxter refers to as experimental virus

material based on human H3N2 viruses.

Christopher Bona, Baxters director of global bioscience communications, said the liquid virus product was

not a vaccine and was developed for testing purposes only. He deferred questions about the purpose of the

testing to Avir Green Hills, but said the batch was to be used in animals and was never intended for use in

humans.

Avir Green Hills said in an email that it took possession of the material in late December. It later sent the

product to the sub-contractors. The email said the material was stored and handled throughout under high

biosafety conditions.

Alarm bells rang in early February when researchers at the Czech sub-contractor inoculated ferrets with the

material and the animals promptly died.

Baxter learned about the problem on Feb. 6, Bona said from Deerfield.

Ferrets are susceptible to human flu strains, but they dont die from those infections. Preliminary

investigation found the material was contaminated with H5N1 flu virus, which is lethal to ferrets.

Nicoll said the fact the ferrets died supports the working assumption that there were live H5N1 viruses in

the material Baxter produced.

Bona said Baxter has identified how the contamination happened and has taken steps to ensure it doesnt

happen again. He said Austrian authorities audited Baxters Orth-Donau research operations after theproblem came to light and are satisfied with the steps taken.

Baxter is the only flu vaccine manufacturer to work with wild type flu viruses, felt to be more dangerous

than the altered and attenuated (weakened) viruses other manufacturers use.

The company uses what is known as BSL3 level precautions in all its vaccine research facilities, Bona said.

(Researchers at the U.S. CDC use BSL3-plus biocontainment when working with H5N1 viruses, a

spokesperson for the agency said.)

People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1viruses have somehow co-mingled in the Baxter research facility. That should not be allowed to

happen, a number of experts insisted.

The company isnt shedding much light on how it did.

It was a combination of just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure,

Bona said. When asked to elaborate, he said to do so would give away proprietary information about

Baxters production process.

Bona said when Baxter realized its error, it helped the various companies destroy the contaminated material

and clean up their facilities. And staff who had been exposed to the contaminated product were assessed and

monitored by infectious diseases doctors. They were also offered the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu).

Baxters error is reminiscent of a 2005 incident where a U.S. manufacturer of kits used by laboratories to

test their detection capabilities included vials of H2N2 virus in several thousand proficiency kits. H2N2, the

virus that caused the 1957 pandemic, has not circulated since 1968 and is thought to be a prime candidate to

cause the next pandemic.

That mistake, discovered by Canadas National Microbiology Laboratory, set authorities around the world

scrambling to retrieve and destroy the vials of virus, which had been sent to labs in 18 countries.

Finally, with U.S. scientists engineering pandemic strains of influenza and infecting animals that need to bekept in a level 4 biosafety containment facility, I suppose that its just a coincidence that British media is out

with warnings about the increasing threat of animals spreading diseases to humans.

Metro: Health Risks from Animals Increasing:

Infectious diseases such as Ebola and Sars which spread from animals are an increasing threat to humanhealth - but conservation of wildlife-rich areas could help prevent their emergence, scientists have said.

Around two-thirds of emerging infectious diseases come from animals and 71.8% of those come from

wildlife, a study published in the journal Nature said.

Researchers from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), University of Georgia, the Consortium for

Conservation Medicine and Columbia University said new infectious diseases were on the rise.

The scientists analysed 335 incidents of disease emergence between 1940 and 2004 and found they had

risen significantly in that time.

And they said zoonoses - diseases that originate in animals - were an increasing and very significant threat

to global health.

and

Telegraph: Britain Is Hotspot of New Germs Says New Study:

We are crowding wildlife into ever-smaller areas, and human population is increasing, said coauthor

Prof Marc Levy, a global-change expert at the Centre for International Earth Science Network. Where

those two things meet, that is a recipe for something crossing over.

Some pathogens may be picked up by hunting or accidental means; others, such as Nipah virus, which

recently emerged in Malaysia, go from wildlife to livestock, and then to people.

Humans have evolved no resistance to zoonoses, so the ailments can be extraordinarily lethal. The scientists

say that the more wild species in an area, the more pathogen varieties they may harbour.
