The picture is of Ukrainians in Kiev burning a replica of an anti-flu mask in a protest against what they call government-inspired hysteria about swine flu that distracts the public from political issues.

Indeed. Last year, the WHO redefined what constitutes a ‘pandemic’ and removed the important factors that there must be a high morbidity and a high mortality rate. This was just before declaring H1N1 a pandemic.

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, Chairman of the European Parliament Health Committee, has called for the Council of Europe to investigate.

In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines.

The “birds-flu”-campaign (2005/06) combined with the “swine-flu”-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility and accountability of important international health-agencies.

The Council of Europe and its member-states should ask for immediate investigations and consequences on their national levels as well as on the international level. The definition of an alarming pandemic must not be under the influence of drug-sellers.

It is clear who’s side WHO are on.
