Question by What I Say: Why is the World Health Organization (WHO) Under Fire For Pushing Swine Flu Vaccine?
Yesterday, here’s what FOX News first had to say about what was initially reported in London’s newspaper The Sun:

“A leading health expert said the swine flu scare was a ‘false pandemic’ led by drug companies that stood to make billions from vaccines, The Sun reported Monday.

Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, claimed major firms organized a ‘campaign of panic’ to put pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic.

He believes it is ‘one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,’ and he has called for an inquiry.

An emergency debate on the issue will be held by the Council of Europe later this month.

The Council of Europe covers 47 European countries and seeks to develop common and democratic principles between the nations.

Wodarg said, ‘It’s just a normal kind of flu. It does not cause a tenth of deaths caused by the classic seasonal flu.’

‘The great campaign of panic we have seen provided a golden opportunity for representatives from labs who knew they would hit the jackpot in the case of a pandemic being declared.’

‘We want to clarify everything that brought about this massive operation of disinformation. We want to know who made decisions, on the basis of what evidence, and precisely how the influence of the pharmaceutical industry came to bear on the decision-making.’

He added: ‘A group of people in the WHO is associated very closely with the pharmaceutical industry.’ ” ( http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582749,00.html )

Today, I see Reuters has grabbed the story here: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BL2ZT20100112

“In the latest complaint about the way authorities have dealt with the pandemic, the Council of Europe, a political forum of most European countries, is to determine whether drug companies influenced public health officials to spend money unnecessarily on stockpiles of H1N1 vaccines.”

You mean members of the WHO were also in it for the profit, just like members of the NIH who have stocks in Big Pharma?
