Bird Flu Accidentally Sent As Vaccine

Bird Flu Accidentally Sent As Vaccine
Officials at the World Health Organization and and the European Centre for Disease Control have launched an investigation into how live Avian Bird Flu virus (both H5N1 and H3N2) was accidentally shipped to 18 countries as Bird Flu vaccine.
Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. accidentally sent an “experimental virus material,” which mixed H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, to an Austrian research firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in late December. That company then shipped portions of the mixture to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.
Subcontractors in the Czech Republic caught the error in early February when testing the shipment on ferrets. The animals died from the inoculation, indicating a live Bird Flu virus.
Officials say the 37 people who were exposed to the virus have so far not shown any signs of infection. However, an Austrian news article from February 11 reports a Vienna hospital treated 19 outpatients on February 9 because of exposure to “bird flu virus.” The article said no one was sick, there was no evidence of infection, and the females were prophylaxed with antivirals (presumably Tamiflu).
People infected with a mixture of H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could become incubators for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.
Baxter International Inc. follows a BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) protocol which prevents the cross-contamination of materials. “It was a combination of just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure,” said Christopher Bona, Baxter’s director of global bioscience communications. Bona would not give any more information due to “trade secrets”.
The mishap comes at an unfortunate time for Baxter International Inc., which was just about to secure a Euopean-wide license for the Avian Bird Flu vaccine.

Yeah, I saw V for Vendetta when it came out. Oh, wait, this isn’t a movie review? A pharmaceutical company shipped weapons grade viruses as vaccines to almost 20 countries? And that same company was expecting a contract to cure the pandemic disease it was, supposedly, unknowingly spreading under the auspices of free “flu shot” vaccines?
Well, :cough:, the host country to that company should be seen as an aggressor in an act of war. Oh wait, that country was the US? And turns out former DoD Sec. Don Rummsfeld (a.k.a. Rummy) is heavily vested in Tamiflu, which supposedly was to make the antidote to Bird Flu.
Wow. And you know the clincher? In the movies the good guys win in the end. Right? Let me fill you in on what’s not going to happen here. Nobody is going to be held accountable for this act of war that could have set off a pandemic and killed who knows how many people.
Oh, and for a preview check this out: Hey Americans, your hosptial system is already overwhelmed and atrophying into a state of total dysfunction. The nurses I know won’t take the flu shots they distribute, are grossly overworked, and thus probably won’t show up to work if and when a pandemic here reaches Biblical proportions.
They’ll let you die. Just like the gubm’t is letting you be rolled by Wal Street and just like it too will let you die.
And you know when the outbreak will begin? Right about the time that the people take to the streets to revolt against hyperinflation, the wipeout of their savings, over taxation, and outright tyranny by the Wal-Street-Washington complex. Right about the time the rebellion is born, you’ll feel a fever setting in.
Enjoy the show!

Accident? The safeguards put in place to prevent this make this about as accidental as when the live nukes went missing on a trip from North Dakota to Louisiana in 2007. Baxter just tried to start a pendemic ON PURPOSE. Picket and boycott until there are prosecutions.

Google “Bayer” + “Factor 8″Clearly Red handed, and open and shut.
A coworker of mine suffers such cognitive dissonance that his answer to both of these stories was that they were “made up” and put on the web by bloggers.

They have been doing stuff like that for a very long while.It is called “Depopulation Agenda”, They are part of the New World Order Plan, Agenda 21, PNAC, etc. They should be brought down immediately. They are trying to start a Pandemic. There is no other explanation. This was no accident.

So I guess I won’t open this envelope that keeps chirping.
