Swine Flu Time Line As Of 7/22/2009

Swine Flu Time Line As Of 7/22/2009
This will be a time line of events concerning some of the Swine flu (H1N1) articles that I have come across. Some raise very interesting questions, while others may be labeled information. This will be up to everyone to decide for themselves. Please note that this time line is to help all those that wish more information on this topic of health.

On Nov. 24,2007 from Medical News Today written by Christian Nordquist at www.medicalnewstoday.com , the article is concerning Tamiflu and Relenza and the fact that they should have Psychiatric Side Effects Warning, say regulators. This was due to reports of patients experiencing delirium, psychosis and hallucinations. The staff of US FDA recommends that these drugs carry these warnings about these possible side-effects. The article stated that Tami flu was made by Roche Holdings; Relenza is made by GSK (GlaxoSmithKline). Children were especially at risk of these. But the staff went on to say the warnings should be for all, no just children. Go to this story for further information.

On May 2, 2009 under www.fda.gov, you will find a report that is labeled Fact Sheet for Patients: Understanding Swine Influenza Kit Test Results. At this time the FDA and the CDC had determined that this virus was contagious and wanted people tested. When you read this article you may seem to notice they were not quiet sure what they were going to be dealing with and at least seemed concerned. I say this, because I and my husband, both came down with this and not one doctor would do the required test, (a swab), that was required. So, all figures in the state we live in would then not be an accurate figure.

Then on May 17, 2009 and article with video links appeared on www.russiatoday,com. I first read this and saw the video I thought, no this can not be real. But the items talked about had been talked about before on regular media in the states, so could this also be true? So I read on.” US link to Mexican swine flu”, US owned pig intense farms. Yes, I had read about Smithfield Foods and the farm in La Gloria, and then the following articles saying patient zero was from there. It went on to say not just one farm but 16 farms in this one area. Back in 2007 , Perote Valley residents in a grass-roots organization called Pueblos Unidos blockaded a road to prevent the Granjas Carroll pig farm from being built in La Gloria. Criminal charges were brought against 5 ot the members. However, a lawsuit has been filed after US Judy Trunnell died. Back in 2006 the US National Institutes of Health stated,” because of concentrated animal feeding operations tend to concentrate large numbers of animals together and this will facilitate rapid transmission and mixing of viruses.” In 2008 the Pew Research Center reported,”Factory farms are time-bombs for global disease epidemics.” It should be noted that on www.RT.com , Wayne Madison, who was with the NSA stated that Flugen of Madison, Wisc. Was developing a vaccine and that he felt the swine flu was made in a lab. He also stated that the very first person to have this type of flu was an Inuit woman in Alaska back in 1965. But for the mayor of Perote, Guillermo Franco Vazquez ,”to the people of this community, what brought about this problem was the pig farms.”

When

Jonathan Stibbs was the reporter for RT.

On May 22, 2009 an article appeared from www.gsk.com ,”US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) purchases GSK’s A (H1N1) influenza and proprietary adjuvant system. In this article it will give names and phone contact

On May 29, 2009 CSL Limited Receives USD180 million Orders form U.S. Government to Produce Novel Influenza A (H1N1) Vaccine. As CSL is a world wide organization you will have to add Australia when finding this article under www.csl.com.au

Also on May 29, 2009 the HHS also signed a contract with CSL Biotherapies to provide in bulk form the antigen. The first order under contract will be in at least $180 million. You can contact this Worldwide Commercial Operations at Shelia.Burke@cslbiotherapies,com .

On June 5th, 2009 the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases wrote an article concerning Pathogen Genomics and A H1N1 Outbreak Entry Clones Now Available. For this article go to www3.niaid.nih.gov/toics/pathogenGenomics/gateway.htm

June 25, 2009 another article and TV. spot concerning Wayne Madsen and what he calls a nightmare scenario in which swine flu could mutate with bird flu, and that this has been suppressed by the WHO for political reasons: this would increase the sales for new vaccines manufactured by the pharmaceutical industry. At first I thought no way. But back in the earlier article unrelated to his on Medical News Today, in the 5th paragraph they stated that as concerns over Tamilfu have surfaced in 2007 there was a 62 percent drop in sales from 2006. Wait…..is this the bottom line theory? Now I was going to pay attention to any article and see for myself what the real deal was.

Then on June 23, 2009 an article by the CBC News: Alcohol-based sanitizers for flu-hit First Nations delayed over substance abuse fears. Health Canada delayed the delivery of alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Now I knew that this was an outrageous charge by Canada against First Nations. For this go to www.cbc.ca

U.S. may need 600 million vaccine doses. The WHO will be no longer testing those countries that have had their outbreaks. Their reason: they can no longer keep up.

We have been receiving many e mails by people who are very correct in being concerned, especially for the people of Turtle Island.

July 20, 2009: WHO reported on CNN.com that this flu had spread so rapidly and so far that it had reached 120 countries. There have been about 98,000 cases and 440 deaths world-wide so far. It will no longer issue global tables showing confirmed cases. It will still report countries where there have not been any confirmed cases if they do get cases that are confirmed. They want governments to pay attention to unusual patterns linked to fatal cases.

On July 21, 2009 the cnn.com reported on a baby girl that had been prematurely delivered from a swine flu patient. She was delivered 14 weeks prematurely. She died.

This was in Palm Beach; Fl. Palm Beach County has had 247 confirmed cases and 2 deaths.

July 21, 2009 the cnn.com report that Australia to begin first human test of swine flu vaccine. CSL is the company that made the vaccine. The WHO stated then that there have been 770 deaths world-wide. 240 volunteers will be injected with the vaccine twice over three week period.

Slated to begin next month it will enroll up to 1,000 adults and children. They will be evaluating whether the vaccine is safe and effective. This report is by the: baltimoresun, com. Kelly Brewington is the reporter.

July 22, 2009 www.cnn.com Swine flu drug sales soar amid stockpiling

In an undisclosed location in the UK a picture was taken showing the immense stockpiled warehouse. Just as an example the vaccine Relenza sales were $98.4 million in the second quarter of this year, compared to $4.9 million in the same quarter last year.

I think this is the BOTTOM LINE: Glaxo: they can supply 190 million doses. They have a variety of agreements with the US to supply products worth $250 million. They have discussions with over 50 other governments. Shipments are expected in 2009 and 2010.

This has turned out to be one, very costly flu.

Everyone stay safe. Keep you eye on the news and e mail if you have a story.
