"The school medicine protagonists/practitioners need the paralysing, stupid-making and destructive fear of disease causing phantom viruses as a central basis for their existence."--Lanka

"AIDS and SARS are ways for epidemiologists (e.g., the CDC, WHO, etc.) to secure their jobs and continued funding for their agencies.  No new emerging epidemics, maybe no CDC, no WHO, so we've got an infrastructure that REQUIRES the "discovery" of new, threatening epidemics.   And the media pick a new one every year.  This year, it's SARS.  For the past couple of years, it's been West Nile Virus.  Next year it'll be something else."---- Dr Dan Duffy DC 2002

Michael Belkin Report (Extract) May 4, 2009 -- The WHO who Cried Wolf
Following the Swine Flu hysteria is a little like watching an old Keystone Cops cartoon. For those of you who have never had much contact with public health officials -- perhaps you could benefit from my unfortunate experience. When my daughter died after getting a hepatitis B vaccine -- I had extensive personal exposure to CDC, FDA and IOM and other public health officials in Congressional, CDC and Institute of Medicine hearings. In my humble opinion, these people are some of the biggest idiots I have ever met -- and their ignorance is only exceeded by their arrogance. CDC and WHO (World Health Organization) officials have made the public hysterically paranoid about an influenza virus that is turning out to be not much different than any seasonal flu. The WHO now suggests it will raise its pandemic alert to its six-point maximum. This is clear evidence that the WHO has absolutely no way to differentiate between a real and non-existent public health threat. You should be alert for public health statisticians who are not qualified enough to get hired into the private sector (Merck or Wall Street) yet are now vested with the power to create public hysteria and treat our bodies as pincushions for experimental vaccines that haven't been proven safe. In the last swine flu scare (1976) one death and few disease cases presented, while hundreds of vaccine adverse reactions occurred (GBS -- paralysis and also deaths). If there was a vaccine for this strain,  health officials would undoubtedly be mandating it and ignoring the adverse reactions. We probably have more to fear from incompetent health officials than from would-be epidemics. Thankfully, markets dismissed this current flu scare and kept rallying -- because the WHO is like the boy who cried wolf, when nothing was really there.

"Orthodox virology omits toxicology, and is thus void.  Toxicological  causation is obvious and toxicology is avoided by the media like the plague. Forget the intellectual, scientific intrigue of virology.  Without toxicology, virology is a mind-trap.  Virology is the deadly virus. Orthodoxy could claim that a "virus" has any number of fearful characteristics, but those characteristics are meaningless if the victims are poisoned.  Without poisoning, perhaps the virus is a nutrient.  Perhaps there is no virus.  Most likely, the "virus" is harmless human nucleic acid, rearranged as a response to poisoning, and thus always a test for said "virus" would be positive during periods of poisoning." Swine Flu 2009 by Jim West

A "public health emergency" has become an excuse to grease the skids and rush to market experimental drugs and vaccines that are not subject to product liability in the civil courts............The stampede in 2001/2002 to re-write long standing public health laws in this country was fueled by reports that terrorists were in possession of weaponized smallpox and anthrax, a fear that was fostered by U.S. government officials and New York Times journalists reporting Iraq had secret stockpiles of weaponized smallpox and anthrax. This myth played a role in public support for the U.S.-Iraq War and persuaded Congress to pass Bioshield and pandemic influenza vaccine legislation that gave billions of dollars to vaccine manufacturers, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to create experimental bioeterrorism and pandemic flu vaccines while protecting drug companies and doctors from liability for vaccine injuries and deaths that will occur.

   In 1996, when the greatest food scare of all exploded over BSE, front-page headlines greeted the admission on Newsnight by the Government's chief scientist John Pattison that the death toll from CJD caught by eating beef could within a few years reach 500,000. A year later, however, scarcely any attention at all was paid to Dr Pattison's confession that he had now revised his figure downwards to just '100' (indeed, it now seems highly likely that beef was not the cause of CJD at all).
    It is not long since, in 2005, an even more senior WHO official was telling us that, any time soon, a worldwide epidemic of Asian bird flu could kill '150 million people'. The actual death toll from bird flu to date is around 200, barely double the number already dead when that hysteria was at its height.

'I have been doing locums in lots of different practices . In some Primary Care Trusts, they are remunerating GPs for their extra swine flu work by looking at how many consultations are logged as 'swine flu', so I have been told to enter any cold, upper-respiratory tract infection , fever etc  as swine flu, and some GPs are going back in their patients records since the swine flu started and re-labelling the reason for the consultation.  Is it any wonder there are so many cases?'

[2009 Aug] Swine flu vaccine strategy 'risky'  The Australasian Society for Infectious Diseases says the multi-dose vials which the vaccine will be distributed in have been shown to transmit infection, spread HIV and hepatitis, and even cause death.....But the infectious diseases doctors say the swine flu threat has now passed and there is no need for urgent mass vaccination.....He says there have been fewer deaths linked to swine flu than initially feared, and the epidemic has now subsided.

[Bird flu 'virus'] The name of that English laboratory the public has not gotten to know. It's the reference laboratory of the EU for bird flu, in Weybridge. I have asked the scientists several times for the pieces of proof of the existence of the H5N1 virus. They have replied to me only once, and after that never again, and wrote that they did not understand my question.
To the World Health Organization and in particular to the bird flu pandemic co-ordinator, the German Klaus Stöhr, I also have written several times and asked for proof of the existence of the bird flu virus. Neither the WHO nor Klaus Stöhr has reacted to this. ...............
    For demonstrating the existence of H5N1, really no sample is necessary either, since, as is the case with all purported contagious diseases, it is a question of a planned action, intended for political reasons to induce fear.
     Firstly, those round formations which supposedly are influenza viruses are, as every molecular-biologist can see,  artificially  produced  particles consisting of fats and proteins. The layman can check on this by asking for a scientific publication in which these pictures are reproduced and described and the composition of the formations shown is documented. Such a publication does not exist.
    Secondly, those pictures which supposedly show bird flu viruses in reality show, as every biologist can make out without any doubt about it, quite normal component parts of cells, or even show complete cells which happen to be in the process of exporting or importing cell and metabolism component parts. Again, the layman can check on this very precisely, by asking for those publications on which those photos are based and from which they originate: He will never receive such publications. The scaremongerers' craftguild is loth to expose its trade basis, the swindles with laboratory and animal experiments.
    If you ask the picture agencies or a news agency such as the dpa from where they are getting these photos of theirs, then they will refer you to the American contagious-disease authority the CDC of the Pentagon. From this CDC it is that the only photo of the purported H5N1 originates too.
    This photo shows the length section cut and also the cross section cut of tubes in cells which have been caused to die in a test-tube. These small tubes in the professional language are called microtubuli, and serve the transport and communication in the cell and in the process of cell division. [27.10.2005] Interview with Stefan Lanka  on "bird flu" and some related subjects

    "As the conditions under which Pandemrix (GSK) is being launched depend on the realtime collection of data regarding the vaccine’s safety and effectiveness during the course of the 2009-2010 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic, it follows that this vaccination programme corresponds de facto to a research project on human subjects, requiring therefore each participant’s free and informed consent.
    "I have been made aware of the risks incurred by this vaccination against the A/H1N1 virus, knowing that a large-scale study will take place during this current vaccination campaign 2009-2010, in order to establish whether the product presents, at its current stage of development, any side-effects in either the short, medium and/or long term;"
    "I have been informed that the manufacturer of the vaccine has obtained legal immunity in the event of the appearance of side-effects, and that I will therefore have no means of appeal against the company GSK; I have also been informed that in the event of unspecified damages relating to this vaccine being brought against me, the law protects the administrator of the vaccine against any legal or administrative proceedings."  [2009 Nov] Silence about Vaccine Deaths in Media is Due to the Confidential Contracts with Vaccine Manufacturers
