H1N1 pandemic scam cost $billions worldwide

European Parliamentary Assembly holds public hearing to investigate "what went wrong"

by Ingri Cassel

Strasburg, Germany - On January 26, 2010, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), a 47 nation body encompassing democratically elected members, began hearings to investigate whether the World Health Organization’s declared H1N1 swine flu pandemic was falsified or exaggerated in an attempt to profit from vaccine sales.

The public hearing was made possible by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg who made the initial motion on December 18, 2009 to recommend an investigation into “Faked Pandemics – a threat for health” which he authored and was signed by 13 other concerned parties from member nations. The motion stated:

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

“The ‘bird-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 also to the credibility and accountability of important international health agencies. The definition of an alarming pandemic must not be under the influence of drug-sellers.

“The member states of the Council of Europe should ask for immediate investigations on the consequences at national as well as European level.”

PACE’s Committee on Social, Health and Family Affairs held the hearing into the handling of the H1N1 pandemic and addressed the question, “Are decisions on pandemics taken on the best scientific evidence only?” There were four papers presented by the experts: Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, Dr. Ulrich Keil, Dr. Keiji Fukuda and Dr. Luc Hessel.

The WHO’s flu chief, Dr. Keiji Fukuda, defended his organization, saying its advice was not improperly influenced by the pharmaceutical industry. Dr. Luc Hessel, representing the European Vaccine Manufacturers group, stressed that the motion was inappropriate, claiming their companies respond strictly to the requests of governments in providing necessary vaccines to combat a potential threat. Surprisingly, Dr. Ulrich Keil, director of the WHO collaborating center for epidemiology and prevention of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases, clearly agreed with Dr. Wodarg’s assertions in his presentation, noting that the H1N1 virus is not new but has a long and sordid history with the vaccine industry and yet the general public was being conditioned by “hysterical announcements and reactions of ministries, scientific bodies and not least the media, sharply contrasting the epidemiological evidence of a mild viral infection compared to previous influenza seasons.” Being an expert in non-communicable diseases (NCD), Keil noted that while 70 percent of deaths worldwide are attributed to NCDs, 10 percent of public health monies are targeted in this direction.

The hearing ended with a decision for Paul Flynn of the Socialist Group in the UK to prepare a report for possible debate by the plenary Assembly in July or October 2010. Already there are rumors of threats from the pharmaceutical cartel to quash any meaningful debate on the topic.

On February 3, 2010, radio show host Alex Jones had Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg on his show. Wodarg said there was “no other explanation” for what happened than the fact that the WHO worked in cahoots with the pharmaceutical industry to manufacture the panic in order to generate vast profits, claiming the entire farce was a hoax.

He also explained how health authorities were “already waiting for something to happen” before the pandemic started and then exploited the alleged Mexico outbreak for their own purposes. Being a dogged activist and optimist, Wodarg claimed the investigation was likely to recommend an end to the undue influence of pharmaceutical companies on public health institutions in Europe.

Since the WHO is under the authority of the United Nations, Wodarg pointed out, “There is no law for WHO, there is no one who punishes those people in WHO, we only have national law, so this is very important that we collect the information and on the national level we try to find those people responsible and we try to punish them.”

“Have investigations, have a deep look, we cannot tolerate such a development, we cannot have this next winter again, we don’t want such fake pandemics,” concluded Wodarg.

Wodarg said that vast quantities of unused vaccines were now being dumped on the third world and that other countries (such as the U.S.) were simply trying to push ahead with vaccination programs even though the virus has proven not to be a major threat.

What he neglected to mention was the fact that all 194 UN nation states are subject to the 2005 revised International Health Regulations (IHR). All 194 nations had until June, 2007, to implement IHR which included passage of legislation empowering state surveillance and monitoring of their citizens under the guise of a potential worldwide pandemic (smallpox, polio, SARS or human cases of new strains of influenza). Stockpiling specific vaccines and anti-viral medications are part of compliance with IHR.

What is even more horrifying is the media blackout of continuing adverse reactions to the H1N1 vaccine – deaths, chronic disabilities, and over 200 reported miscarriages in the U.S. – while healthcare workers are still being told it is required for continued employment.
