They're harping the wrong pandemic (BELOW) and will be making the
wrong vaccine.

This could be why Don Wiley was bumped off.

Besides, during the 1918 flu pandemic, the population of persons who
got the first wave were protected against the second, worse wave.
Flu vaccines really don't work. If we know anything at all about
vaccines - and we do, now, from LYMErix, they pick off the
genetically
vulnerable. And it's not about preventing illness, rather than an
exercise in controlling the public.

We've been watching this since before Don Wiley was bumped off,
so, well, we knew he was bumped off. We knew he was doing this
research with influenza...

...You know, because we have been watching this CDC Lyme crime for
quite a long time now... Plenty of time to delve into other
CDC lies.

World warned over killer flu pandemic

The world is failing to guard against the inevitable spread of a
devastating flu
pandemic which could kill 50 million people and wreak massive
disruption around
the globe, the Government has warned.

In evidence to a House of Lords committee, ministers said that early
warning systems
for spotting emerging diseases were "poorly co-ordinated" and lacked
"vision"
and "clarity". They said that more needed to be done to improve
detection
and surveillance for potential pandemics and called for urgent
improvement in rapid-response
strategies.

The Government's evidence appeared in a highly critical report from
the Lords
Intergovernmental Organisations Committee, which attacked the World
Health Organisation
(WHO) as "dysfunctional" and criticised the international response to
the threat of an outbreak of disease which could sweep across the
globe.

The Government said: "While there has not been a pandemic since 1968,
another
one is inevitable." Ministers said it would could kill between two and
50 million
people worldwide and that such an outbreak would leave up to 75,000
people dead
in Britain and cause "massive" disruption.

Peers joined ministers calling for urgent action to build up early
warning systems
across the Third World that can identify and neutralise outbreaks of
potentially
deadly new strains of disease before they are swept across the globe
by modern trade
and travel. Peers also called for new action to monitor animal
diseases, warning
of the potentially disastrous effects of conditions such as the H5N1
bird flu virus
jumping to humans and demanded that Britain step up funding for the
WHO to tackle
the threat.

With international tourist journeys now reaching 800 million a year,
giving unprecedented
potential for epidemics to spread across borders, and many cities
rapidly growing
in developing countries, which would provide "fertile ground" to
spread
disease, peers on the committee warned that conditions such as Sars,
avian influenza
and ebola "have the potential to cause rapid and devastating sickness
and death
across much of the world if they are not detected and checked in
time".

Their report said: "We have been warned that an influenza pandemic is
overdue
and that when – rather than if – it comes the effects could be
devastating, particularly
if the strain of the virus should be of the H5N1 variety that has been
seen in south-east
Asia in recent years.

"While much progress has been made in the past 10 years in improving
global
surveillance and response systems, much remains to be done if we are
to detect new
strains of the virus and counter them before they have had the chance
to spread."

The report called for a fundamental overhaul of the WHO's regional
offices around
the world. "Given the threats to global health that we face from newly
emerging
infectious diseases, a dysfunctional organisational structure within
the world's
principal policy-making, standard-setting and surveillance body simply
cannot be
afforded."

A government briefing given to the committee warned: "Not all
countries have
the resources or capacities to put in place a seasonal influenza
vaccination policy
and, in the event of an influenza pandemic, it is also recognised that
current stock
will not meet world-wide demand.

"There needs to be an improvement to rapid response strategies in
poorer, more
vulnerable, countries."

Ministers warned that there was "no agreed vision or clarity over
roles"
among the international bodies working in the field.

Lord Soley, the committee's chairman, welcomed efforts to guard
against a flu
pandemic but warned: "They are not good enough. We have a pandemic
twice every
century. If something developed in a country with a developed
healthcare system
you would stop it and stop it before it went round the world. You
cannot have that
confidence about the developing world," it warned.

Norman Lamb, the Liberal Democrats' health spokesman, likened the
threat from
a pandemic to the threat of international terrorism. He said:
"Globally there
has been massive attention to the threat from terrorism and rightly
so. But the
potential for loss of life from a pandemic is massive, enormous and
yet we stare
a disaster in the face and we see a chaotic, uncoordinated and
incoherent international
response to it.

"Disease can spread like wildfire. We have to dramatically step up the
response."

A spokeswoman for the Department of Health acknowledged that "more
clearly
needs to be done improve detection, surveillance and general response
capacity building".
She said Britain was working to improve the international response to
bird flu and
a potential pandemic and was working to improve international co-
ordination on the
issue.

She added: "We agree that there is considerable scope to improve the
effectiveness
and coherence of intergovernmental organisations working in this
area."
