Can You Get A False Mosaic Turners Diagnosis
is what cost us the flop of the vaccine
The pandemic runs. The costs of vaccines remain. Twenty-four million doses purchased by Italy against the H1N1 virus at a price of € 184 million, 10 million doses withdrawn from factories and distributed to local health services, 865mila actually inoculated. The vast majority of the packages is stored in the pharmacies of local health services, vaccination centers in the districts or in studies of family physicians. A journey through the healthcare speaks Italian refrigerators full (including vaccines should be stored at 4 degrees worth their degradation) and skepticism among the people at the heart of the immunization campaign. Over 20 million people are among the "eligible population" to be vaccinated according to the ministry, but only 827mila brought the arm to the syringe, with a ratio of 3.99%. And if Italy has already agreed to donate 10% of their doses (2.4 million) because the WHO distribute to poor countries, most of the bottles seems poised to maturity, provided 12 months after the date of manufacture and then in stages between September and December 2010. At that point, there will be nothing to do but throw them.
But for Novartis, which has signed the contract with the Ministry of Health, the collection will be full anyway. The 184 million agreed in the contract of August 21, 2009 (when the pandemic struck the Americas in particular and not had not yet reached Italy) will be paid in full even if the vaccines are delivered less than half of those agreed. In fact, there is no contract provision for reduction to the Ministry. And if yesterday Codacons announced a class action on behalf of the 60 million users of the Italian health system, including the Court of Auditors has initiated a procedure to check the "Decree of 27 August 2009 concerning the approval of the contract for the supply of doses of influenza vaccine (H1N1) between the Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Policy and the Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics Ltd ".
Codacons calls for the termination of the contract with the pharmaceutical industry ("A waste enormous given the poor adherence to vaccination) and repayment to the citizens of € 184 million spent. If you win, to each of the 60 million users of the health system should be 3 €. "In addition - continues Codacons - 50 € symbolic compensation for each person. "The Court of Auditors into the details of the clauses of the contract with Novartis. And he wonders why" Article 3.1 (stated in Article 5.3) provides for the possibility of non-compliance with delivery dates of product without the application of any penalty. "Or because" Article 9.3 provides for the payment to Novartis of € 24.08 million (excluding VAT) for the purpose of cost sharing in case of not getting permission marketing of the product. "Fortunately, the vaccine has passed the test of EMEA, the European body in charge of security checks. But if something went wrong, the ministry would still have to pay 24 million for a drug useless .
The challenge to the courts of Viale Mazzini, then privacy concerns of the contract: "Article 10.2 Confidential Information also considers the existence of the contract and its provisions, clause - in the public evidence of the procedure - not be respected. "And finally, something which fortunately did not occur but that might lead to a drain on the state, the contract provides that any side effects of the vaccine on patients are dependent on the ministry and not as is usually the case of the pharmaceutical industry. "Article 4.5 - disputes the Court - to the Ministry provides reimbursement for damages caused to third parties, solely due to manufacturing defects, while under Article 4.6, the Ministry Novartis will have to compensate for damages caused to third parties in all other cases ".
clauses so unbalanced were dictated by fast. But why so high a cost compared to a vaccination campaign never took off, the prosecutor questioned yesterday, hiding behind the no comment yet. Some virologists from universities try to explain what happened, and why of such disproportion. "Now we know that H1N1 is a mild virus. But at the beginning of the pandemic, we still had fresh memories of bird, which has a mortality of about 50%, "said Giovanni Di Perri, director of infectious diseases all'Amedeo Savoy in Turin." The influence who has always put in difficulty make predictions. Models can jump, the virus often surprise us, "notes Peter Crovari, professor emeritus of health and preventive medicine at the University of Genoa. And Guido Antonelli, a virologist at the Sapienza in Rome, does not mean that next year is the H1N1 virus included in the normal seasonal vaccination: "At the beginning of each year, the WHO decided against such seasonal influenza vaccine should be addressed. Maybe the next winter we will find ourselves among the three H1N1 strains of the normal seasonal vaccine.
Although the vaccination campaign this winter is not over yet and the Ministry of Health warns of a possible second pandemic wave, data on coverage of vaccines are very low. The medical personnel who had been recommended immunizations includes little more than a million people were vaccinated even 70 thousand (15.1%). law enforcement officers and operators of essential services do not reach the 6% (6 thousand on 723mila). Among the blood donors even as the stop at 0.83%. In recent weeks, some local health authorities have also extended the vaccination campaign to over 65 with chronic diseases. But even they seem too convinced, and participation remains steady at 1, 5 per cent. More than vaccinations, now seem to seasonal sales.

Europe attacks WHO: false alarms and suspected avian influenza, now the survey / interview with Wolfgang Wodarg complainant
The Council of Europe, a body other than the Commission that deals with civil rights, sought to create a commission of inquiry to find out if it was a fake alarm and, if find those responsible. We'll talk later this month in Strasbourg. Blogosfere interviewed Wolfgang Wodarg (photo), medical epidemiologist, promoter of the motion to the Council of Europe:
For years I observe the evolution of influenza in the world. And I found that twice the World Health Organization (WHO) has issued warnings of a pandemic without any scientific proof. First it happened with avian flu, which actually never transmitted from person to person. Then there was the recent case of swine flu, which turned out to be much more innocuous of the common seasonal flu.
dr-wolfgang-wodarg.jpg
What evidence do you have? Normally, the flu causes
500 000 deaths per year, deaths from swine fever have been one-tenth. In Australia, where winter is already over, the victims of influenza A were much less than in previous years. Despite this, although the two false alarms, WHO already talk of a second wave in the coming months. Again, without any evidence.
Why?
One reason is because the World Health Organization of the common people are more stupid, because in Europe people have cleverly avoided to get the vaccine in France over 90 million vaccines ordered have been used for 6. Second reason: the economic interests. After bird flu, never took place, governments around the world have called on pharmaceutical companies to quickly produce large quantities of vaccines, with guaranteed public money. You know what was the condition to trigger the contracts? That the WHO declares a pandemic. And the WHO has given the green light in that scandal. Score: 5 billion € in vaccines thrown away in Europe, 20 billion of the world. Yes, with our own investigation we find out who is behind all this.

"False Pandemic: The multinational drug product that grossed more on fear of the vaccine for swine flu vaccine for the H1N1 virus
The outbreak of swine influenza is a 'false pandemic' implemented by the pharmaceutical companies, which were about to make billions of pounds for this alarm sounded throughout the world. This was stated by Wolfgang Wodarg, head of public health at the Council of Europe, a leading health experts. He accused the manufacturers of drugs and vaccines against swine flu groped to influence the WHO decision to declare the AIDS pandemic. This was done by pharmaceutical companies to secure 'enormous benefits', while countries including the United Kingdom, have 'wasted' millions of their meager health budgets, to vaccinate against a relatively mild illness. E 'was approved by the Council of Europe resolution proposed by Dr Wodarg in Strasbourg, under the' senate ', responsible for the European Court which requested an investigation into the role of business of vaccines for human rights. A discussion on the matter will be held later this month emergency. Says Dr. Wodarg, as the case revealed that at the height of the fear the British government gave the order to search desperately Download up to € 1 billion for vaccines against influenza virus. The Department of Health has provided these 65,000 deaths, it has established a special line of advice and a website, has suspended the normal rules for anti-influenza drugs that could be distributed without a prescription and warned the local authorities for health to prepare for a pandemic of great importance. Planners have been ordered to get ready for the morgue and extent of the death and there will have been warned that the army may have been called to prevent trouble, as we struggled to get the vaccines. But with less than 5000 patients of the disease in England, until last week and with only 251 total deaths, Dr. Wodarg highlights the alleged outbreak of a pandemic of H1N1, as 'one of the biggest medical scandals of the century'. He said: 'We had a little flu - and a false pandemic'. He added the seeds of fear were sown five years ago when it was feared that the far more deadly bird flu virus could mutate into a human form. The atmosphere of panic and contracts dream led governments to storage of the influenza drug Tamiflu and anti-hoarding millions of doses of vaccines. Dr. Wodarg said, governments have closed contracts with vaccine manufacturers to obtain orders in advance and take over almost all responsibility. In this how vaccine manufacturers are sure to huge gains without having the minimum financial risk. They had to just wait until it was declared the "pandemic" and then turn on the contracts. He also argues that, to push further their interests, leading enterprises of the vaccines have infiltrated "their men 'in the gears of the' WHO and other influential organizations. He added that their influence might have led the WHO to soften the definition of a pandemic that last June led to the declaration of outbreaks around the world. Dr Wodarg said: In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against influenza, pharmaceutical companies have influenced the scientists and the official bodies responsible for standards of public health, which warn the governments around the world. They have produced such a waste of already limited health resources to the strategies of a vaccine ineffective and useless for millions of healthy people, who have been exposed to the risk of unknown side effects of vaccines are not sufficiently tested. He did not make the names of any British exposed the conflict of interest. But last year, the Daily Mail revealed that Sir Roy Anderson, a scientist who advises the government for swine flu, receives a fee of £ 116,000 a year from GlaxoSmithKline. GSK to make anti-flu drugs and vaccines and is assumed to be a major beneficiaries by the pandemic. They have produced millions of swine influenza vaccines, pharmaceutical companies have been paid large sums from governments, the Department of Health has suggested that, although the disease appears to be declining, we can not exclude a further flashback and urges all claimants to get vaccinated. Professor David Salisbury, head of the government to immunize said that there are 'grounds whatsoever' to give credit to Dr. Wodarg, saying that people with conflicts of interest have been kept out of the process decisionale.Un spokesman GSK said that 'The allegations of undue influence are wrong and unfounded. The WHO has stated that there were criteria to declare the pandemic of swine flu H1N1. As the WHO has said this, many laws and safeguards were put in place to manage any conflicts of interest. The company, which still plays for his advice Sir Roy, said it had declared its own commercial interests and that the same Sir Roy had not attended meetings related to the purchase of drugs or vaccines for either the government or the GSK.

Influenza A "one of the biggest health scandals" of the century
BRUSSELS - The influenza A was not only a "false pandemic" but was orchestrated by pharmaceutical companies to make billions of euro from the sale of medicines and vaccines . The accusation comes from Wodarg Wolfgang, the German president of the Health Committee of the Council of Europe yesterday called for a thorough investigation on the matter. According Wodarg (former member of the SPD - the German Socialists - physician and epidemiologist) pharmaceutical companies would influence the decision of the World Health Organization to declare the AIDS pandemic, including infiltrating its men in the organization. Result: the multinational drug companies have amassed "huge profits" without any financial risk, as governments around the world have spent millions of dollars in the purchase of vaccine for an infection that was in fact much less aggressive than a normal flu.
Vaccines balance
The allegations of the Council of Europe (who described the case of influenza A as "one of the biggest health scandals" of the century) comes as governments across the world are trying to get rid of the millions of doses of vaccine ordered and has not been used: one thinks that France has purchased 94milioni for a population of about 63milioni inhabitants. But Italy now has to decide not to "sell out" the government has purchased 24 million doses of vaccine from Novartis. Cost: about € 184 million.
