World Health Organization (WHO) Is Under Fire for Supporting Drug Companies by Pushing Swine Flu Vaccine?

Question by What I Say: World Health Organization (WHO) is Under Fire For Supporting Drug Companies by Pushing Swine Flu Vaccine?
Yesterday, here’s what FOX News first had to say about what was initially reported in London’s newspaper The Sun:

“A leading health expert said the swine flu scare was a ‘false pandemic’ led by drug companies that stood to make billions from vaccines, The Sun reported Monday.

Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, claimed major firms organized a ‘campaign of panic’ to put pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic.

He believes it is ‘one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,’ and he has called for an inquiry.

An emergency debate on the issue will be held by the Council of Europe later this month.

The Council of Europe covers 47 European countries and seeks to develop common and democratic principles between the nations.

Wodarg said, ‘It’s just a normal kind of flu. It does not cause a tenth of deaths caused by the classic seasonal flu.’

‘The great campaign of panic we have seen provided a golden opportunity for representatives from labs who knew they would hit the jackpot in the case of a pandemic being declared.’

‘We want to clarify everything that brought about this massive operation of disinformation. We want to know who made decisions, on the basis of what evidence, and precisely how the influence of the pharmaceutical industry came to bear on the decision-making.’

He added: ‘A group of people in the WHO is associated very closely with the pharmaceutical industry.’ ” ( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582749,00.html )

Funny thing is today, I see Reuters has grabbed the story here: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BL2ZT20100112

“In the latest complaint about the way authorities have dealt with the pandemic, the Council of Europe, a political forum of most European countries, is to determine whether drug companies influenced public health officials to spend money unnecessarily on stockpiles of H1N1 vaccines.”

–Looks like the scare tactics, misinformation, and general propaganda didn’t fool everyone. Now if some organization would only blame the Centers For Disease Control for the same thing.

Well it seems completely believable. Wherever money is involved, people will take advantage. And it’s so easy to use fear to get people to do what you want; people are manipulated so easily by fear tactics and scaremongering- the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end

It was obvious this was all set up from the start, the government planned this and as soon as the first cases in Mexico were reported, they saw this as a good opportunity to use scare tactics Many people have been fooled and have been queuing up for the vaccination. But i did a lot of research at the time and found out a lot of info ie that Donald Rumsfield has many shares in Baxter’s which produces the vaccination… and other interesting stuff! Its obvious this is all a money making thing not only for the pharmaceuticals but for all those in the medical Industry, and politicians who allow this and also get a cut out of it.

The WHO are as corrupt as anyone else, so the fact that they allowed this to happen doesn’t surprise me!!
The WHO isn’t there to protect the people, but to think of ways, to destroy a certain amount of people every year as the population is getting out of control. I learnt this in History years ago!
