18 Billion Dollars for a fake-pandemic?
In his 13 years working in the audio-visual department of the Council of Europe, Alun Drake said there have only been two really exciting cases. One was back in 2006 when it became known that the CIA were operating more than 1, 000 secret flights within the EU and the other was yesterday (27 January) when almost 1000 medias world wide reported on the Council of Europes hearing on the H1N1 flu.
The meeting involved representatives from the World Health Organisation(WHO), the UN health agencies, European vaccine manufacturers and saw them go face to face with medical experts. European parliamentarians were present to discuss the ethics of the WHO in the last year. Although the World Health Organisation is normally a world leader on health matters, yesterday (27 January) , it was put in the spotlight, and not for the right reasons. WHO was harshly criticised for the their handling of the H1N1 flu, for exaggerating the dangers of the flu just to please pharmaceutical companies who’s only interest was to make profit on the vaccine.
However, the WHO rejected all the accusations made by the Council of Europe. Speaking yesterday on behalf of the United Nations health agency, Dr Keiki Fukuda said that, “the labelling of the pandemic as fake is to ignore recent history and science, and to trivialise the deaths of over 14,000 people and the many serious additional illnesses experienced by others. So let me state clearly for the record: the influenza pandemic policies and reponses recommended and taken by the WHO were not improperly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry”.
And indeed, the WHO is a trusted agency. If the accusations are true, this is a highly blushing matter for them. German health expert, Wolfgang Wodarg ensures that it is and swears to ‘defend public health interests’ from now on. “What we have experienced now is that millions of people have been vaccinated unnessarily. This is damage done to people in order to earn money. And we cannot tolerate such an action by such an important agency as the WHO”.
No less than 18 billion dollars have been spent on the pandemic this year so the serious matter will not just be shoved to the bottom of the pile of files and will continue to be investigated within Europe’s biggest human rights defence body, the Council of Europe.
