Baxter: Product contained live bird flu virus

The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses.

And an official of the World Health Organization’s European operation said the body is closely monitoring the investigation into the events that took place at Baxter International’s research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.

“At this juncture we are confident in saying that public health and occupational risk is minimal at present,” medical officer Roberta Andraghetti said from Copenhagen, Denmark.

“But what remains unanswered are the circumstances surrounding the incident in the Baxter facility in Orth-Donau.”

The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.

The contamination incident, which is being investigated by the four European countries, came to light when the subcontractor in the Czech Republic inoculated ferrets with the product and they died. Ferrets shouldn’t die from exposure to human H3N2 flu viruses.

Public health authorities concerned about what has been described as a “serious error” on Baxter’s part have assumed the death of the ferrets meant the H5N1 virus in the product was live. But the company, Baxter International Inc., has been parsimonious about the amount of information it has released about the event.

On Friday, the company’s director of global bioscience communications confirmed what scientists have suspected.

“It was live,” Christopher Bona said in an email.

The contaminated product, which Baxter calls “experimental virus material,” was made at the Orth-Donau research facility. Baxter makes its flu vaccine — including a human H5N1 vaccine for which a licence is expected shortly — at a facility in the Czech Republic.

People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.

Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could have resulted in dire consequences.

While H5N1 doesn’t easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.

That mixing process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.

There is no suggestion that happened because of this accident, however.

“We have no evidence of any reassortment, that any reassortment may have occurred,” said Andraghetti.

“And we have no evidence of any increased transmissibility of the viruses that were involved in the experiment with the ferrets in the Czech Republic.”

Baxter hasn’t shed much light — at least not publicly — on how the accident happened. Earlier this week Bona called the mistake the result of a combination of “just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure.”

He said he couldn’t reveal more information because it would give away proprietary information about Baxter’s production process.

Andraghetti said Friday the four investigating governments are co-operating closely with the WHO and the European Centre for Disease Control in Stockholm, Sweden.

“We are in very close contact with Austrian authorities to understand what the circumstances of the incident in their laboratory were,” she said.

“And the reason for us wishing to know what has happened is to prevent similar events in the future and to share lessons that can be learned from this event with others to prevent similar events. ... This is very important.”

This is amazing, all the newspapers, tv and radio in Austria keep silent, no reporting. Clear evidence how the super rich control each and every news channel.

Nope. This news item is dated: 27th February 2009.

Yes everyone get in line and get your Baxter flu vaccine shot now that the swine flu is a worldwide pandemic. The government is your friend, now back to American Idol.

This unprecedented H1N1-H5N1 flu outbreak implicates the Anglo-American Vaccine Pipeline, says world leading consumer health protector, Dr. Leonard Horowitz

Consider the skyrocketing stock values of Novavax, Inc., precipitated by dozens of alleged flu deaths in Mexico. Then investigate the leading Anglo-American network of genetic engineers manipulating, mutating, and distributing these viruses. The evidence compels you, for the benefit of public health and safety to seriously consider, even decree, a conspiracy to commit genocide, according to this Harvard trained expert in emerging diseases.

Here, Dr. Horowitz urges an investigation of Dr. James S. Robertson, Englands 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). These suspects helped Novavax, Inc., in Bethesda, Maryland, produce genetically-modified recombinants of the avian, swine, and Spanish flu viruses, H5N1 and H1N1, nearly identical to the unprecedented Mexican virus that is allegedly spreading to the United States at the time of this posting. The outbreak was precisely timed to promote the companys new research and huge vaccine stockpiling contracts.

Scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are implicated through collaborations and publications involving private contracts with Novavax, a company that obtains its biosimulars through CDC Influenza Branch director, Ruben O. Donis, and Dr. Rick Bright, previously working with Donis at the CDC, now Novavaxs Vice President of Global Influenza Programs.

Descriptions of this virus is pathognomonic, or diagnostic, of a virus that came from Robertsons circle of friends, Dr. Horowitz charges. 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 isolate, additionally mixes in swine flu genes from pigs, then reverse engineers them to infect humans. The end product could only have ended up in Mexico via the United States from Britain in care of the CDC. The CDC had to have sent them to Novavax, where Rick Brights team is now implicated in a conspiracy to commit genocide—the mass killing of people for profit.

Yes I heard Dr. Horowitz on Alex Jones radio show and was very impressed with him, he seems like a man of good conscience and integrity.

 

 

Here is something that makes me want to increase my chanting of Hare Krsna and eventually get out of the material world once and for all.

Major Karma,

The sooner blood suckers like you leave the better please let me know if there is any motivation I can provide you with to speed the process.

To everyone else;

Believe me folks its not credit cards from China but Congress that has be spending money from the public purse for such things as foreign aid and food and drug and health programs overseas to buy American favor in those countries that has ruined us. They have set an example of poor fiscal responsibility. Yes American followed suit. But Congress did not have the authority to spend our money and we stupid people let them.

You are the co signer to the note Congress incurred in your name for the foreign debt. Everything you own even you is collateral to that debt, even the dirt you stand on.

And now we have.

This smoke screen hoax is to frighten the masses into thinking there is a pandemic or the possibility of one and surrendering more of their rights.

This is the false flag.

If it goes to level 6.

Like the right to travel.>They will establish check points to see if you have had your vaccination if not you must go home, or get the shot. If you havent had it you wouldnt want to go to work and infect your workmates and friends would yoooooou.

Economic restrictions> They dont want you to panic and run to the store and clean out the shelves. So they will limit the amount of cash you can withdraw. They will designate days you may shop and buy fuel. They will limit the amount of food you can buy in dollar value at the store. They will ration fuel and restrict your travel so you dont spread the disease. They will close public places.

This IS martial law.

In the mean time Obammy is continuing to campaign to quell the panic and sooth the masses so everybody thinks its alright. But if the lid comes off the box and the truth be known.

If people panic and runamuck then the velvet gloves will come off and the iron gloves go on.

All of this is to distract the attention from the final days of the shill game when the bankers led by the Bush team of thieves completes it final phase of looting.

Bush I, Bush II, Cheney, Clinton(s), Gore, Paulson, Kash’n'Kari, Geithner, Greenspan, Bernanke, Summers, and Obamasan and Biden are making travel arraignments to flee the country.

While our creditors are making arraignments to find the monies the above have looted which was supposed to pay our creditors off. Which is why Congress doesnt know where the money went. The creditors wont be paid before the banker boys flee with the loot. The notes will be repudiated. The stolen money may have been enough to satisfy the creditors. But it would also be enough to keep our children as debtors to foreign powers for generations. Obama will be the fall guy but he has his own accounts. The economy will go into total collapse and the swhtf. The conductors of the arbitrage are skimming the (fallout) off the top and sending it to off shore accounts.

Sir Hillary Clinton made a deal with the Chinese to surrender sovereign territory of the united States as payment for the debit not covered by the treasury and gold transactions (which have not been consummated). It has not been consummated because as stated above the Bush boy’s stole the money and Obama is refusing to pay. The UN has already got troops on American soil to enforce international laws and treaty’s. The US military has/will refuse to allow surrender of American soil as payment for a debit created by fraud by the Federal Reserve and will move to arrest the Fed Reserve Board. The IMF and world bank with BIS will place their security forces to stop them. I wont be necessary because DC is a legislative dictatorship under exclusive power of Congress and they will not allow troops on the streets unless it is to protect them. Congress is complicit and was promised protection. But DC and other hardened sites are the only place they can go to be safe from those they were promised protection from. Us, because of the collapse. Bush and company dont want satisfaction for the creditors they want a war. Here. On American soil. They may have it.

Think about it.

[primate]

Such a plan will not work..

Such a plan will not work..

 

 

 

Probably not in the long run, it will crumble like all fascism does eventually but I guess the question is how much damage are these people going to do on the way out and will they be able to create a Hitler youth type of movement that buys into their idealogy. They are all getting old and have told a lifetime of lies to get where they are at so yes eventually I think the truth will win and everything will be revealed and maybe the people will wake up that they have been in a spell by the television etc. This seems to be happening on some level presently as it doesn't seem people are buying into the swine flu scare. Nothing scares these people more than people waking up so either they are going to try and change the color of their spots and act like they have been our friends all along or they are gonna try to manufacture some other crisis to hide the real news that the economy has been looted by the bankers and the politicians and the banks are insolvent.

 

 

We can always hope that once this karma etc. has run its course that there will be left standing a more enlightened, intelligent group of humans on the Earth but who knows for sure what is going to happen.
