European Parliament to Investigate WHO and “Pandemic†Scandal

The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January 2010 on

the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global swine flu campaign,

focusing especially on extent of the pharma‘s industry’s influence on WHO.

The Health Committee of the EU Parliament has unanimously passed a resolution

calling for the inquiry. The step is a long-overdue move to public transparency

of a “Golden Triangle†of drug corruption between WHO, the pharma industry

and academic scientists that has permanently damaged the lives of millions and

even caused death.

The parliament motion was introduced by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, former SPD Member

of the German Bundestag and now Chairman of the European Parliament Health

Committee. Wodarg is a medical doctor and epidemiologist, a specialist in lung

disease and environmental medicine, who considers the current “pandemicâ€

Swine Flu campaign of the WHO to be “one of the greatest medicine scandals of

the Century.â€[1]

The text of the resolution just passed by a sufficient number in the Council of

Europe Parliament says among other things, “In order to promote their patented

drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists

and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm

governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for

inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people

to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested

vaccines. The “bird-fluâ€-campaign (2005/06) combined with the

“swine-fluâ€-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to

some vaccinated patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility

and accountability of important international health-agencies.â€[2]

The Parliamentary inquiry will look into the issue of „falsified pandemic“

that was declared by WHO in June 2009 on the advice of its group of academic

experts, SAGE, many of whose members have been documented to have intense

financial ties to the same pharmaceutical giants such as GlaxoKline, Roche,

Novartis, who benefit from the production of drugs and untested H1N1 vaccines.

They will investigate the influence of the pharma industry in creation of a

worldwide campaign against the so-called H5N1 “Avian Flu†and H1N1 Swine

Flu. The inquiry will be given “urgent†priority in the general assembly of

the parliament.

In his official statement to the Committee, Wodarg criticized the influence of

the pharma industry on scientists and officials of WHO, stating that it has led

to the situation where “unnecessarily millions of healthy people are exposed

to the risk of poorly tested vaccines,†and that, for a flu strain that is

“vastly less harmful†than all previous flu epidemics.

Wodarg says the role of the WHO and its the pandemic emergency declaration in

June needs to be the special focus of the European Parliamentary inquiry. For

the first time, the WHO criteria for a pandemic was changed in April 2009 as the

first Mexico cases were reported, to make not the actual risk of a disease but

the number of cases of the disease basis to declare “Pandemic.†By

classifying the swine flu as pandemic, nations were compelled to implement

pandemic plans and also the purchase swine flu vaccines. Because WHO is not

subject to any parliamentary control, Wodarg argues it is necessary for

governments to insist on accountability. The inquiry will also to look at the

role of the two critical agencies in Germany issuing guidelines on the pandemic,

the -Ehrlich and the -Koch Institute.

Bravo!
