"Swine Flu May Be Human Error; WHO Investigates Claim (Update1)
By Jason Gale and Simeon Bennett May 13 (Bloomberg) -- The World Health Organization is investigating a claim by an Australian researcher that the swine flu virus circling the globe may have been created as a result of human error.
Adrian Gibbs, 75, who collaborated on research that led to the development of Roche Holding AG’s Tamiflu drug, said in an interview that he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines. Gibbs said he came to his conclusion as part of an effort to trace the virus’s origins by analyzing its genetic blueprint.
“One of the simplest explanations is that it’s a laboratory escape,” Gibbs said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today. “But there are lots of others.”
Killing innocents via disease for profit is no different from exporting war for profit, or creating terrible famine as a by-product of exploitation of a nation state.
It shouldn't surprise us that this happens in the pharmaceutical/medical industry anymore than the arms industry. But it does. These guys proclaim to be in business to benefit mankind, not exploit it.
Que sera, sera eh.
Anyway, I'm posting the Horowitz press release (linked by Ed in his above post) in full below.

H1N1-H5N1 Flu Outbreak Implicates Anglo-American
“Vaccine Pipeline” Says Expert Dr. Leonard Horowitz
Los Angeles, CA— Skyrocketing stock values of Novavax, Inc.,1 precipitated by dozens of flu deaths in Mex-
ico, implicates a leading Anglo-American network of genetic engineers in a conspiracy to commit genocide,
according to a Harvard trained expert in emerging diseases, Dr. Leonard Horowitz.
Dr. James S. Robertson, England’s leading bioengineer of flu viruses for the vaccine industry, and avid promoter
of U.S. Government funding for lucrative “biodefense” contracts, along with collaborators at the US Centers for
Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), helped Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, produce genetically-modi-
fied recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, nearly identical to the unprec-
edented Mexican virus that has now spread to the United States. The outbreak was precisely timed to promote
the company’s new research and huge vaccine stockpiling contracts, according to Dr. Horowitz.2
Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are implicated through collaborations and publica-
tions involving private contracts with Novavax, a company that obtains its “biosimulars” through CDC Influ-
enza Branch director, Ruben O. Donis, and Dr. Rick Bright, previously working with Donis at the CDC, now
Novavax’s Vice President of Global Influenza Programs.
Evidence for the conspiracy to commit deadly duplicity in the vaccine industry includes the genetic markers on
the novel flu virus now spreading from Mexico to America. The virus is “genetically different from the fully
human H1N1 seasonal influenza virus that has been circulating globally for the past few years,” according to
Reuters and government officials. “The new flu virus contains DNA typical to avian, swine and human viruses,
including elements from European and Asian swine viruses.”3
“That is a description that is pathognomonic, or diagnostic, of a virus that came from Robertson’s circle of
friends,” Dr. Horowitz claims. “No other group in the world takes H5N1 Asian flu infected chickens, brings
them to Europe, extracts their DNA, combines their proteins with H1N1 viruses from the 1918 Spanish flu iso-
late, additionally mixes in swine flu genes from pigs, then ‘reverse engineers’ them to infect humans. The end
product that Reuter’s describes could only end up in Mexico via the United States from Britain in care of the
CDC. Ruben Donis at the CDC had to have sent them to Novavax, where Rick Bright’s team is now implicated
in a conspiracy to commit genocide—the mass killing of people for profit.”
Novavax’s preliminary report in the Journal of Virology, with co-authors from the CDC in Atlanta, was posted
online at the precise time Mexican officials began reporting deaths from this new strain of flu that is clearly an
unprecedented recombinant of at least three H5N1 and H1N1 strains. Novavax’s Johnny-on-the-spot vaccine
was prepared under the CDC’s “fast track” approval process speciously using these three strains never known to
infect any human in Mexico.
Therefore, the statistical probability this virus came from this company of “experts” is extremely high. Alter-
natively, anticipated arguments the virus arrived in Mexico by serendipity, at this precise time in Novavax’s
history, is ridiculously remote.
“These doctor’s conflicting corporate, scientific, and financial interests evidence criminal malfeasance,” said Dr.
Leonard Horowitz, an internationally known humanitarian, award winning consumer health activist, and author
of sixteen books including, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola—Nature, Accident or Intentional? (1998, Tetra-
hedron.org; 1-888-508-4787), His book, and associated scientific publications, have been cited by numerous
authorities as providing compelling evidence the AIDS virus came from a lab.
“The most chilling evidence against the Robertson-Novavax (RN) vaccine pipeline, besides Robertson being
the “gatekeeper” for multi-billion dollar vaccine stockpiling deals, is Robertson’s influence over the European
Medicines Agency (EMEA)—a quasi-corporate quasi-scientific think tank serving the European [Economic]
Union and drug industry’s special interests,” Dr. Horowitz said.
Dr. Robertson is the Principal Scientist in the Division of Virology at the National Institute for Biological
Standards and Control (NIBSC), akin to the USFDA in the UK. During a meeting in April, 2006, discussing
the standardization of influenza vaccines on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO), it was disclosed,
“the NIBSC is involved in the serological testing of vaccine trials; the preparation and distribution of influenza
viruses to vaccine manufacturers; and the coordination of EU strain selection[s].” Participants disclosed the
EMEA persuades vaccine makers to bank on pandemics, and “invest in pandemic vaccines with the introduction
of mock up files,” which is their unassuming way of describing new laboratory engineered influenza viruses
also referred to as “biosimilars.” 4
The EMEA waves regulatory fees as an additional incentive to attract more business for allegedly “biodefense.”4
Dr. Robertson, the holder of intellectual property (IP) rights to the genetic technology used to produce the H5N1
and H1N1 “mock up files” used to develop Novavax’s vaccine, waived his ownership of the technology dur-
ing the company’s research phase with a guaranteed payoff “when the vaccine is commercialized.” Robertson’s
“Material Trade Agreement” (MTA), covering the transfer of these “biosimilars” to Novavax, is expected to
return millions of dollars when the vaccine is sold to governments worldwide. 4
Novavax’s commercialization and promotions of their vaccine is largely based on media hype fanning fears and
markets for their avian flu, Spanish flu, and swine flu concoctions. Never before this outbreak has such a virus,
combining the three most feared flu strains, been identified.
Mexico’s killer, therefore, evidences a laboratory creation sourcing from either Novavax’s lab directly, or their
partners at the CDC and NIBSC who maintain multi-million-dollar incentives. The company’s synchronously
timed professional publications, mass media releases, product representations and commercialization, evidence
financial motives to commit duplicity and mass murder.
Days ago, officials at the CDC expressed serious concerns about this novel flu strain causing a deadly pandem-
ic, not disclosing their obvious knowledge that the outbreak must have sourced from the materials used in their
cooperative studies with Novavax.5

“These doctor’s conflicting corporate, scientific, and financial interests evidence criminal malfeasance. Killing
dozens of people for publicity and duplicity in public health; to increase marketability of their new vaccine,
is best described as serial homicide to advance genocide—the mass killing of people for profit,” Dr. Leonard
Horowitz explained.
The most chilling evidence against Dr. Robertson’s EU research team, besides him being the gatekeeper and
chief promoter for multi-billion dollar flu vaccine stockpiling deals, and besides his collaborators being caught
red handed here by hard science and common sense, is his stated position that he believes it is wise to “prime”
populations worldwide by releasing viruses he and his colleagues are creating. This warning comes from a April
27, 2006, scientific discourse in which Dr. Robertson, and members of his WHO working group, recommended
his “biosimilars” be “used to prime the population in advance of the pandemic reaching the UK.”
In other words, the doctors that hold infectious disease responsibility for the world have already decided to
loose their viruses on unwitting populations in advance of threatened outbreaks.

alternatives to vaccinations, such as the most advanced silver hydrosols (e.g., Oxysilver) in which nano-size
anti-microbial silver is bonded to the oxygen in Water (See: http://www.Oxysilver.com). There would be no
need for polluting people’s bodies, and the environment, with heavy metals such as mercury and aluminum,
or suffering side effects from antibiotics, if public health officials promoted the new powerfully protective and
curative silver hydrosols.

What is beyond doubt is that the revolving door between key vaccine/virus researchers, big pharma and regulatory authorities is a complete disgrace, and an open invitation to fraud and malfeasance.
At the scientific level, there is clearly something very strange about this so-called "swine flu" pandemic. Many of its elements suggest that, on a balance of probabilities, the "swine flu" is more likely to have been created in a laboratory than by Mother Nature.
We need a Garth Nicolson to examine the molecular minutiae and, if appropriate, blow the whistle.

A US company that was awarded a 35-million-dollar contract to develop an influenza vaccine using insect cell technology has produced a first batch against (A)H1N1 flu, company boss Dan Adams said.
“We turned out our first batch of doses — about 100,000 — against (A)H1N1 flu last week and we’re continuing to manufacture it,” Adams, chief executive officer of Connecticut-based Protein Sciences Corporation, told AFP.
The US Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday announced that it has awarded a 35-million-dollar contract to Protein Sciences, which could be extended for another five years to reach 147 million dollars.
The insect cell technology “has advanced in recent years to a point that we believe it could help meet a surge in demand for US-based vaccine for seasonal and pandemic flu,” Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement.

If “accidental” contamination is virtually impossible,
then intentional contamination likely.
Globally-practiced protocols and regulatory schemes governing the handling of pathogens in the research, development, manufacture and transport of vaccines make it virtually impossible for U.S. flu vaccine producer Baxter to accidentally contaminate and export vaccines containing live H5NI (avian) viruses. The implication, then, is that the inclusion of “bird flu” was intentional and shipped all over the world to trigger a pandemic.
Baxter’s facility in Austria makes annual flu vaccines but was also developing a human H5N1 vaccine for which a license was expected in the near future. Researchers claim the “serious error” could not have been accidental since it is virtually impossible for live avian flu virus to find its way into a vaccine by “accident”.
As health ranger Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com points out, “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 the cross-contamination of materials. Laboratory personnel have specific training in handling pathogenic and potentially lethal agents and are supervised by competent scientists who are experienced in working with these agents. …All procedures involving the manipulation of infectious materials are conducted within biological safety cabinets or other physical containment devices, or by personnel wearing appropriate protective clothing and equipment. The laboratory has special engineering and design features.”
Under the BSL3 code of conduct, it is impossible for live avian flu viruses to contaminate production vaccine materials that are shipped to vendors throughout the world.
This leaves only two possibilities:
1. Baxter isn’t following BSL3 safety guidelines or is so sloppy in following them that it can make monumental mistakes that threaten the safety of the entire human race. And if that’s the case, then why are we injecting our children with vaccines made from Baxter’s materials?
2. A rogue employee (or an evil plot from the top management) is present at Baxter, whereby live avian flu viruses were intentionally placed into the vaccine materials in the hope that such materials might be injected into humans and set off a global bird flu pandemic.
Spreading bird flu would create an instantaneous surge of demand for bird flu vaccines. The profits that vaccine companies such as Baxter International could reap out of such a panic are astronomical.
“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?’” Adams asked.
While public health officials at the time appeared concerned, claiming to investigate the cause for the contamination of flu vaccines distributed to 18 countries, as of March 21, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) has not released a statement on the Baxter incident. Instead WHO is moving forward with stockpiling worldwide H5N1 containing vaccines in preparation for a global pandemic, the ingredients of which are “proprietary”.
It should also be noted that the federal regulators in the U.S. and the affected countries have not commented on the incident nor is there any evidence that they plan to sanction Baxter for its serious breach in security with regard to the handling of such tightly controlled pathogenic agents.

Being a Brit unfamiliar with the term I'm not sure if it is meant as a compliment or not. Not, I think... hope and pray?

Quote:BUENOS AIRES -(Dow Jones)- Argentina's private-sector banks will shut down Friday as part of a nationwide effort to contain the spread of the A/H1N1 swine flu, local press reported Friday.
The banks' decision coincides with Friday's special holiday for all government workers, which was declared by the Interior Ministry on Tuesday.
Friday's holiday rolls on from Thursday's Independence Day holiday, and authorities believe people will use the long weekend as an excuse to stay home and therefore help slow the spread of the virus.
The Argentine Health Ministry on Sunday reported that the official death toll in Argentina from swine flu has reached 60, and there are a total of 2,485 officially confirmed cases.
However, many believe the official numbers lag the actual rate of infection, and that the real numbers are much higher.

Yes, indeed, I have, and now I can also upload a pdf of the white paper I wrote which was published by the International Association of Emergency Managers in March 2006 and which will show something about why I am so interested in this topic. (The pdf was created by the folks at IAEM and it has a glitch or two; someday I will get my own.) I worked as a subject matter expert and consultant on the design of a DARPA-funded, USDA-assisted "virtual tabletop drill" intended for a civilian emergency management audience through a leading designer of military-level simulations, a company started by the two software engineers responsible for the development of the TRADOC armored warfare simulators used before Desert Storm, and developers of a desktop-to-desktop 24/7/365 system used by the military to run simulations from squad/tactical level right on through to the top at grand global strategy. The five-player virtual exercise was to have taught civilian systems personnel how to respond to the outbreak of avian influenza. The project was killed by DARPA purportedly because of "financial improprieties" by the leading contractor.

Does any one else see the irony? A military drill simulation (death, maim, destruction) but they get all queasy about the financial impropriety of contractor.
