There is very wrong information widely circulating about the vaccinecontamination accident in Europe, which occurred in late February 2009.This information has found its way unto many websites. Everybody needs totake a deep breath, and please read this evidence showing contaminatedvaccine was NOT recently shipped to 18 countries. The reference to "18countries" comes from the earlier influenza vaccine mixup which occurred in2005.

There is very wrong information widely circulating about the vaccine

contamination accident in Europe, which occurred in late February

2009.

This information has found its way unto many websites. Everybody needs

to

take a deep breath, and please read this evidence showing

contaminated

vaccine was NOT recently shipped to 18 countries. The reference to

" 18

countries " comes from the earlier influenza vaccine mixup which

occurred in

2005. Most importantly, there is no danger of an impending pandemic due

to

the recent Baxter accident...which should never have happened, of

course.

Lets hope that people will get this corrected information out to

their

various groups and websites quickly. Stars are added for emphasis,

at

critical places.

Canadian newspages), from an article put out by The Canadian Press on

Feb.

25, 2009:

Officials investigate how bird flu viruses were sent to unsuspecting

labs

Published Wednesday February 25th, 2009

.... " Baxter's error is reminiscent of a **2005 incident** where a

U.S.

manufacturer of kits used by laboratories to test their detection

capabilities included vials of H2N2 virus in several thousand

proficiency

kits. H2N2, the virus that caused the 1957 pandemic, has not

circulated

since 1968 and is thought to be a prime candidate to cause the next

pandemic.

That mistake, discovered by Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory,

set

authorities around the world scrambling to retrieve and destroy the vials

of

virus, which had been sent to labs **in 18 countries.** "

And here is evidence from a 2005 article.

Pandemic flu virus from 1957 mistakenly sent to labs

Apr 13, 2005 (CIDRAP News) - " The revelation that samples of the

influenza

virus that caused the flu pandemic of 1957-58 were inadvertently sent

to

thousands of laboratories has raised fears of a new pandemic and

triggered

an urgent effort to destroy the samples.

Samples of the influenza A(H2N2) virus were sent to 3,747 labs, the

vast

majority of them in the United States, the World Health Organization

(WHO)

said in a statement last night. The WHO recommended that all the

samples,

which were sent for use in lab proficiency testing, be destroyed

immediately. .. [snip]

The virus samples were sent to labs by the College of American

Pathologists

(CAP), the WHO reported. Labs use such samples to test their ability

to

identify viruses. The CAP paid a private company, Meridian Bioscience

Inc.

of Cincinnati, to prepare and send the samples, according to an AP

report.

The WHO said samples of the H2N2 virus were sent to 3,747 labs **in

18

countries**, but only 61 of those were outside the United States and

Canada.

The AP report said 14 Canadian labs received the

samples. " ...
