WHO's Margaret Chan predicts biggest pandemic ever

July 17, 2009

That will inevitably happen unless we, the people of the world, form a

united front and tell these Mengele clones to stick their poison needle

where the sun ain't shining.

people in developing countries suffering from HIV and multi-drug-resistant

WHO’s Director General Dr Margaret Chan has said that the H1N1 swine flu

pandemic could kill more people than the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 in an

interview with The Guardian published on Thursday, 16th, July.

“In terms of the number of countries affected and the number of people

infected, this [pandemic] has got to be the biggest,” says Chan.

Bigger than 1918? “If you’re talking about mortality then it’s different.

1918 is the biggest in terms of mortality. I would not like to make any

predictions . . . I hope we don’t see the 1918 picture. But we should expect

to see more people infected, and more severe cases coming up, including

deaths.”

To recap: it was WHO that helped create and develop the lethal H1N1 virus in

the first place along with the lethal bird flu virus. It was WHO that gave

the bioengineered bird flu virus to Baxter in Austria, which Baxter then

used to contaminate 72 kilos of vaccine material before sending it out from

its high biosecurity facilities on Orth an der Donua to 16 labs this

February, nearly sparking a global pandemic.

In spite of a police investigation into Baxter’s activities in Austria, WHO

gave Baxter lucrative contracts to develop the H1N1 vaccine after the H1N1

swine flu mysteriously appeared in April.

As it turns out, Baxter patented an improved version of the H1N1 vaccine in

August 2007, that is two years before the “swine flu” H1N1 virus appeared in

Mexico City about 50 kilometers from a Baxter facility, allegedly for the

first time ever.

WHO ratcheted up the threat level in April, manning its pandemic control

rooms 24/7 before finally even changing the definition of pandemic to

justify declaring a pandemic level 6 in spite of the mildness of the first

wave of so-called swine flu.

Having declared a pandemic emergency, WHO on July 13th issued instructions

for mass forced vaccinations around the world following the recommedation of

the vaccine advisory group packed with Baxter and other pharma executives,

WHO has given the contracts for the vaccines too.

It is WHO that has ordered the toxic mix of oil in water adjuvants and live

whole viruses to be in the vaccines on recommendation of companies like

Baxter, even though Baxter’s own clinical studies report that vaccines

against H1N1 work better without adjuvants.

Furthermore, WHO, the UN and the EU will be able to take over control of the

health and security forces of countries of North America and Europe in the

event of a pandemic emergency WHO is expected to declare this autumn when

the artificial swine flu virus mutates into a more lethal form as it was

bioengineered to do.

The International Health Regulations of 2005 give WHO the authority to order

forced vaccinations, quarantine and restrict travel around the world.

In the light of these activities, Dr Chan’s predictions about the future are

especially interesting to read:

“In wealthy countries such as Britain, she observes, “The disease is

self-limiting. Some even recover without medicine. But is it going to be the

same in a country where they have a high proportion of people suffering from

HIV? Or chronic malnutrition? Or diabetes? [all of which damage immune

systems]?”

Pregnant women are among the groups most severely affected; already, every

minute of every day, a woman dies in childbirth or pregnancy. Furthermore,

unlike seasonal flu, H1N1 tends to affect previously healthy 30-50

year-olds; developing countries have large, young populations often living

in crowded conditions.

As well as having no testing facilities, these countries will often have

almost no access to antivirals such as Tamiflu. “Is it fair,” demands Chan,

rhetorically, “for these countries to go into a pandemic empty-handed?” So

she has gone, cap in hand, to the companies that produce them: Roche has

just provided 5.6m free doses of antivirals, which Chan has dispatched to

the developing world; she is angling for another 5-6m, and hopes they will

soon come through.

“Vaccines are much more difficult,” she says with some understatement,

“because of the limitations in production capacity.” Companies in Europe and

North America, and a few small ones in Asia, are racing to make a vaccine to

combat this new disease. “One should be available soon, in August. But

having a vaccine available is not the same as having a vaccine that is

proven safe. Clinical trial data will not be available for another two to

three months.”

The process of acquiring a vaccine is already a salutary lesson in health

inequality. “Most of the production capacity has already been booked up by

wealthy countries. Again I have to ask the question: do the developing

countries have to wait at the end of the queue? Because if that’s the case,

they won’t have a vaccine for six months.”

So Chan is trying to persuade manufacturers to free up a percentage of their

production capacity for developing countries – 10% is her modest request.

“The most important thing is to have a supply of vaccine to protect, first

and foremost, a functioning health system. It is always important to keep

taking care of pregnant women, cancer patients, diabetics and so forth. And

I’m also mindful that a certain amount of vaccine should be provided to

countries so they can maintain a stable society — that they must vaccinate

law enforcement officers, and fire brigades, for example. Making sure that

society can function in a normal way.”

There is, of course, the caveat that swine flu has been “mild so far”. Many

countries may opt not to vaccinate at all, or not to make it compulsory. But

it is also the case that an estimated 250,000-500,000 people die every year

from seasonal flu (not including those who die of respiratory failure or

heart disease which hasn’t been traced back to an initial flu virus), and

that the situation with swine flu could change at any moment. British

scientists admitted this week that they were taken by surprise by swine flu’

s sudden spread; Chan is aware that while it could work itself out with

comparatively minimal damage, she could also suddenly find herself dealing

with a far more virulent, more deadly mutation.

And that, of course, would be on top of the myriad other epidemics and

crises currently demanding her attention; the massive health impacts of

climate change, for example, which she is in no doubt “will be the defining

issue of the 21st century”.

Declining food security will, she predicts, mean massive rises in people

dying from malnutrition and diarrhoea, and probably more wars. More floods

will mean more water contamination and issues with water security, and more

deaths due to injuries and drowning. More waterlogged areas and changes in

temperature will mean sharp rises in vector-borne diseases such as malaria

and dengue fever.

“The prediction is that, within the next 10-20 years, food production in

Africa will drop by 50%. If that’s the case, how many more people will go

hungry? Remember that malnourished, stunted children cannot reach their

education potential, which will have a massive social and economic impact.”

Chan worries, too, about massive rises in non-communicable diseases (cancer,

diabetes, smoking-related illnesses) outside their traditional stamping

grounds of the well-fed west. The trouble, from her point of view, is that

these diseases attract nothing like the funds that, say, malaria or polio or

HIV/AIDS do: “60-80% of the disease burden in developing countries is now

due to so-called lifestyle diseases” – and yet, until the last two years

when the Bloomberg and Gates foundations got in on the act, non-communicable

diseases received no donor funds at all.

Then, of course, there are the ongoing battles — malaria (at least seven

African regions have reduced deaths by half), polio, measles, HIV and TB,

where another crisis of global proportions threatens: “The challenge is

drug-resistant TB. And this is really huge. If it gets out of control,” Chan

warns, “it will take us back to the pre-antibiotic era.”

.. Although “with a pandemic,” Chan says wryly, “you can’t really be on

leave” •
