Czech newspapers are questioning whether the shocking discovery of vaccines

contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus -- distributed to 18 countries

by the American company Baxter -- were part of a conspiracy to provoke a

pandemic.

 

Because of laboratory protocols that are routine for vaccine makers, mixing

a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually

impossible.

 

Baxter flu vaccines contaminated with H5N1 (the human form of avian flu)

were received by labs in the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovenia. Initially,

Baxter refused to reveal how the vaccines were contaminated with H5N1, invoking

“trade secrets.†After increased pressure, they then claimed that pure H5N1

batches were sent by accident.

 

But in the Czech Republic, reporters are investigating whether the

contamination was part of a deliberate attempt to start a pandemic.

 

The fact that Baxter mixed the deadly H5N1 virus with a mix of H3N2 seasonal

flu viruses may be the smoking gun. The H5N1 virus on its own has killed

hundreds of people, but it is less airborne. However, when combined with

seasonal flu viruses, which are more easily spread, the effect could be a

potent,

airborne, deadly biological weapon.

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

 

Last month vaccine maker Baxter International sent a mix of flu vaccine and

unlabelled H5N1 virus (the human form of bird flu) to an Austrian research

company. Expecting the shipment to contain only flu vaccine, the Austrian

company then sent portions of the contaminated product to the Czech Republic,

Slovenia and Germany.

 

It was only when researchers at a Czech Republic laboratory injected ferrets

with the vaccine, and they unexpectedly died, that the contamination mistake

was discovered.

 

But is “mistake†really an accurate term to describe this?

 

If this batch of live bird flu and seasonal flu viruses had reached the

public, it could have resulted in dire consequences. Even though H5N1 doesn’t

easily infect people, the flu virus does. So if people were exposed to both of

these viruses, they would have become hosts for the combined viruses, and

would have become highly contagious and able to transmit the deadly bird flu

virus to others.

 

There is actually a name for this mixing of viruses; it’s called “

reassortment,†and even _The Canadian Press_

(http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5iV_RT6oBK3tOhtsWf5\

pnu5OIby9w) has pointed out that it

is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.

 

 

Could the Contamination Have Been a Plot to Start a Deadly Pandemic?

 

A spokesman for Baxter said the virus material was supposed to contain a

seasonal flu virus and was contaminated after “human error.â€

 

Yet, other sources say Baxter International adheres to something called BSL3

(Biosafety Level 3). This strict set of laboratory safety protocols is in

place to prevent the cross-contamination of materials, and according to some

may have made it virtually impossible for the live bird flu virus to

contaminate a flu vaccine by accident.

 

Czech newspapers are among those questioning whether this was a deliberate

act to start a pandemic, and there’s even been talk of plans to use the

vaccines to carry out a form of population control.

 

But then there’s the issue of motive. Would Baxter have had any reason to

carry out such a malicious and deadly scheme?

 

Well, if a bird flu pandemic suddenly broke out, the demand for bird flu

vaccines would certainly skyrocket … and the profits from such a mass

vaccination program would be astronomical.

 

 

Does the Past Give us Any Clues?

 

You may be thinking that such a conspiracy is too far-fetched to be

accurate. But it is worth mentioning that some scientists say the most recent

global

outbreak -- the 1977 Russian flu -- was started by a virus leaked from a

laboratory.

 

Further, drug companies are certainly not best known for their sterling

moral values.

 

In 2006, for instance, it came out that the drug company Bayer sold millions

of dollars worth of an injectable blood-clotting medicine to Asian, Latin

American, and some European countries in the mid-1980s, even though they knew

it

was _tainted with the AIDS virus_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2006/08/05/bayer-sells-aids-\

infected-drug-banned-in-us-in-europe-asi

a.aspx) .

 

So while it is unthinkable that a drug company would knowingly contaminate

flu vaccines with a deadly bird flu virus, it is certainly not impossible.

 

 

How to Prevent All Flu’s, Even the “Deadly Ones,†Without Vaccinations

 

Whether or not the conspiracy theory is true, this whole scenario brings up

two very important points:

 

 

1. Vaccines can be contaminated with dangerous substances (even above and

beyond their already dangerous components)

2. Vaccines are not the answer to protecting yourself from flu outbreaks of

any kind

 

 

Remember back in 2005, when headlines warned that the U.S. was facing a

cataclysmic extermination event, with a calculated _2 million Americans

succumbing to the bird flu_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/10/25/avian-flu-epidemi\

c-is-a-hoax.aspx) , and the best-case scenario taking

only 200,000 lives?

 

The case of “the impending pandemic of the Avian Flu†might as well have

been a fictional mini-series, as it never materialized. What was really going

on was a _scenario filled with greed and political corruption_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/2/14/i-was-right-about-\

the-bird-flu-h

oax.aspx) .

 

By igniting fear in the public and massaging some key statistics, the

powers-that-be were able to justify the expense of a massive vaccine stockpile

to

ward off the bird flu.

 

At $100 per dose, the United States used taxpayers’ dollars to purchase some

20 million doses of the highly questionable Tamiflu, lining the pockets of

_then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2005/10/25/rumsfeld-to-profi\

t-from-avian-flu-hoax.aspx) who

was president of Gilead Sciences when they created the drug.

 

But I digress. If you want to read more about all the lies and corruption

surrounding the avian “super-flu†that never was, read my book _The Great

Bird

Flu Hoax_ (http://www.greatbirdfluhoax.com/) .

 

For now, my point is that there are always going to be threats of flu

pandemics, real or created, and there will always be potentially toxic vaccines

that are peddled as the solution.

 

But you can break free of that whole drug-solution trap by following some

natural health principles.

 

I have not caught the flu in 20 years, and you can avoid it too, without

getting vaccinated, by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your

immune system in optimal working order so that you’re far less likely to

acquire the infection to begin with.

 

 

• _Optimize Your Vitamin D Levels_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/10/21/avoid-flu-shots-v\

itamin-d-is-a-better-way.aspx) .

Getting appropriate amounts of sunshine (or taking a vitamin D supplement when

you

can’t get healthy amounts of sun exposure) is one of my KEY preventive

strategies against the cold and flu, as it has such a strengthening effect on

your

immune system.

 

• _Avoid Sugar_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2001/07/14/insulin-part-one.\

aspx) and _Eat Right for Your Nutritional Type_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/02/26/metabolic-typing-\

part-th

ree.aspx) . Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost

immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting

off

viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may

not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.

 

• _Get Enough Rest_ (http://www.mercola.com/article/sleep.htm) . Just like

it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your

body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu.

 

• _Deal With Stress_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/07/24/stress-immune-sys\

tem-part-two.aspx) . We all face some stress

everyday, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able

to

fight off the flu and other illness.

 

If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using the

_Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)_

(http://www.mercola.com/forms/eftcourse.htm) , which is remarkably effective in

relieving stress associated with all

kinds of events, from work to family to trauma.

 

• _Exercise_ (http://www.mercola.com/nutritionplan/exercise.htm) . When you

exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your

body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which

means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it

spreads.

 

• _Take a Good Source of Omega-3 Fats_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/23/the-incredible-im\

portance-of-omega-3-s.aspx) Like

Krill Oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3

found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health.

 

• _Wash Your Hands_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/09/25/flu-hygiene.aspx)

.. Washing your hands with plain soap and water will

decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other

people. But don’t overdo it. Washing your hands too much can actually remove

much of the protective layer on your skin and increase your changes of

acquiring

an infection.

 

• _Eat Garlic Regularly_

(http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2004/02/28/garlic-health.asp\

x) . Garlic works like a broad-spectrum

antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. And unlike with

antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product

to

use.
