More Evidence That Swine Flu is the 1918 Virus



Recent analysis of the so-called Swine Flu that 'broke out' in Mexico a year ago show a 95% similarity with the killer virus of 1918 - 19 called the Spanish Flu at the time. We know that Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger, pictured right, reverse engineered the 1918 virus in US military labs to learn how a killer virus actually works. The Spanish Flu killed tens of millions around the world in three waves. It is credited with bring an end to the hostilities of War War One. While the Swine Flu of 2009 - 10 has yet to prove itself as a mass killer, these findings indicate that the danger is far from over and continued vigilance and preventive measures are necessary.


More Similarities Between 1918 and 2009 Pandemic H1N1

Nabel and colleagues took a closer look at the HA protein. A discrete region of the HA's tip that plays a critical role in binding to cells, they found, has a 95% similarity in amino acid sequence between the old and new pandemic strains. Comparisons between seasonal and the pandemic strains in this region found less than 70% similarity. In the second study, a team led by structural biologist Ian Wilson of the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, California, went further, linking the amino acid sequence analysis to the three-dimensional structure. Wilson's group crystallized the 1918 and 2009 pandemic viruses and showed that the HA heads had distinctly similar shapes. "The closest related structure that we have to the current 2009 swine flu is the 1918 structure," says Wilson.

The above comments are from two papers published this week showing similarities between HA from 1918 and 2009 pandemic strains. One paper focuses on antigenic similarities and notes the high degree of identity in the receptor binding domain. The other paper notes similarities in structure. However, earlier structural studies noted similarities between 1918 and H5N1, which is avian, so similarities with 2009, which is swine is not a surprise, since 1918 is a human/ swine H1N1 recombinant. Similarly, antigenic similarities would be expected because the HA in the 2009 pandemic strain is from North American swine, which would be similar to the classical swine H1N1, including the first influenza isolate, from a pig in Iowa in 1930. Moreover, recent studies showed that survivors of 1918 had antibodies which recognized the 20009 H1N1 and anti-sera against 1918 offered better protection form a pandemic 2009 mouse challenge than anti-sera against the 2009 pandemic strain.

However, the two recent studies reinforce concerns about a serious pandemic evolving from the 2009 strain. Frequencies of D225G, as well as Tamiflu resistant H274Y are on the rise, and a new wave could have markedly higher levels of both components, leading to more severe and lethal cases. The current pandemic H1N1 is far more lethal to those under 65 than seasonal flu, and overall deaths have been reduced because of existing neutralizing antibodies in elderly populations due to exposure to the 1918 pandemic H1N1 or seasonal H1N1 circulating prior to 1950.

Although the number of deaths of the elderly is markedly reduced because of immunity to earlier versions of H1N1 and the absence of seasonal flu, today’s CDC report (week 12) indicates the P&I death rate is above the epidemic threshold, raising concerns that a large number of H1N1 deaths are not being reflected in state influenza reports or weekly updates. Recent reports have highlighted false negatives when samples from the upper respiratory tract are tested, leading to a large number of unrecorded deaths. Similarly the spike in hospitalizations in Georgia raises concerns that the frequency of D225G in fatal and severe cases is on the rise.

In 1918/1919, two of the five HA sequences had D225G, which is in the receptor binding domain, and as noted above, there is a 95% similarity between the 1918 receptor binding domain and the 2009 receptor binding domain. Moreover, the fatal cases linked to the 2009 virus has a mean age of 37.4, in marked contrast to ages for seasonal flu (75.7 years) or the two more recent pandemics in 1968 (62.2 years) or 1957 (64.6 years), but similar to the 1918 deaths (27.2 years).

The similarities between the H1N1 sequences from 1918 and 2009 continue to be cause for concern.

Swine Flu Fatalities In Georgia


It ain't over til its over. It's been a year since the first reported cases of 'Swine Flu' from La Gloria Mexico. Since then the swine flu and the swine flu panic have spread all over the planet, ushering in a new era of global public health. WHO for the first time mandated a global vaccination program for all its member nations (194) for an H1N1 influenza virus that never proved to be much of a threat to public health - except in a few isolated places like the Ukraine. A mutation occurred which makes the virus more lethal. Now that mutation has appeared in Georgia - not the one in Eastern Europe- the one in the South Eastern United States. There have been several recent fatalities and the mutation may be spreading. Is this the third wave? Don't know, but don't lower your guard. Stay safe and do not take the vaccine that is again being pushed hard by the CDC and others.






D225G/N In Georgia pH1N1 Fatalities?


Recombinomics Commentary 23:39March 31, 2010


Public health officials are so concerned by an uptick of serious cases of H1N1 flu in the southeastern United States that they called a short-notice press briefing today to urge Americans to be vaccinated against the pandemic strain.The CDC is sufficiently concerned about the Georgia cases that it has loaned a team of its disease detectives to the state Division of Public Health to investigate the cases and help crunch data. A full analysis is expected shortly, Schuchat said, but the CDC felt the Georgia signal was so concerning that they went ahead with a briefing in advance of the analysis's delivery.The above comments on Monday’s CDC briefing raise questions about the urgency of the announcement. The increase in cases in region 4 had been obvious since early February, when the percent positive rate rose to double digits, and the numbers have been around 15% ever since. This increase was clear in Georgia and the CDC was brought in on March 5. The department of health website showed a jump in hospitalized cases a week and a half prior to the briefing, which was followed by a Georgia press release that cited jumps in hospitalizations and deaths.The numbers released by Georgia on March 24 indicated the spike of 80 hospitalized cases would be followed by 72 more for the following week, but more alarming was the death total, which was 14 higher than the previous report, which would represent an alarming and record spike. However, the state update only added 2 new fatalities, leaving a gap of 12 fatalities between the 72 in the March 24 press release, and the 60 in the updated tables.The press conference focused on the increase in hospitalizations and a need for vaccinations, There were hints that the new cases were from geographic areas that were slightly different than the fall, suggesting that vaccinations in these new areas would reduce the spread of the H1N1.However, numbers from media reports from District 4 or P&I data for Atlanta raised concerns that the record spike in hospitalizations was associated with a record spike in deaths. The P&I deaths for Atlanta was markedly higher for weeks 8-11 in 2010 relative to 2009 and in the two most recent weeks there were 28 deaths compared to 6 deaths in 2009. Similarly, in the adjacent District 4 there were 6 deaths in 2010, including three since March 9, while the Georgia data for the entire state only showed 4 deaths in that time period for the entire states. These data strongly suggest that the deaths in the tables at the Georgia website significantly under-represent the confirmed fatalities, which are a gross under-estimate of actual fatalities, raising concerns of a spike in more severe and fatal cases in Georgia, including the appearance of D225G/N which is commonly associated with fatal cases.Last fall D225G/N was linked to the death cluster at Duke Medical Center, as well as a genetically unrelated case collected in the same mid-October time frame. The source of the Tamiflu resistant virus with D225G/N was never identified and the clustered transmission raised concerns that there was additional transmission outside of the hospital setting. Thus far the CDC has only released one pH1N1 2010 sequence from Georgia, which was collected in February. The CDC has discounted the significance of D225G at Duke, Ukraine, and Norway and their low reactor assay for G158E has been inconsistent. Therefore release of sequences from severe and fatal pH1N1 March cases would be useful.

CDC Claims 57 Million Flu Cases - Huh?


Don't forget, the CDC under the direction of WHO stopped the laboratory confirmation of flu cases in the middle of the 'great swine flu pandemic of 2009' back in July! That means all reports of 'swine flu cases' have no scientific basis since that time. It's like playing tennis without a net - it's easier to win that way - there is no standard to meet.

At the same time, the CDC is ignoring the the two deadly mutations of the H1N1 that have occurred around the world which seem to be responsible for the majority of the fatal cases.

So why is the CDC acting so stupid?

Maybe they have flu on the brain - or it's all about ensuring profits for the big drug makers who are shipping the millions of unused flu vaccines over seas to third world countries.

These vaccines going to Africa and elsewhere will be labeled 'foreign aid' but all the money will go to the pharmaceutical companies which are, as we know, too big to fail - even at math.

Enjoy. Learn. Share.


CDC Claims 57 million Swine Flu Cases - Where's the Proof?

By William Campbell Douglas MD

CDC fails at math The feds are still squealing over swine flu -- but no matter how loud they oink, their numbers just don't add up. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that 57 million Americans have come down with swine flu -- and their media lap dogs (or are they now pigs?) just ate it up. I saw that big number repeated in headlines everywhere as if that were a fact and not a completely made-up number. Oink, oink. But that's just what it is -- a story as true as those Babe the Pig movies. If someone can prove to me that 57 million Americans actually came down with swine flu, I'll trade my lab coat for overalls and take up hog farming. I mean it... but it's not going to happen. The truth is, no one knows how many swine flu cases there were, not even the math whizzes at the CDC. That 57 million figure is just the midpoint of a massive estimate range that claims up to 84 million Americans may have had swine flu. They may as well say it was between 1 and 300 million. Remember, the feds stopped counting swine flu cases in July -- they actually told state and local health authorities to stop testing for it and stop tracking it. It's better than burning evidence -- because they prevented the evidence from ever existing in the first place. Now, they can throw around any number they want without having to worry that the truth might someday come out and squeal on them. All we know for certain -- and this is based on real data from the CDC and state health departments -- is that only a tiny fraction of the suspected H1N1 cases that were sent to labs for confirmation actually turned out to be swine flu, or even any kind of flu at all. Most people just had a bad cold. Yet the feds keep pushing this myth that Americans should STILL rush out and get swine flu shots... hinting darkly at the possibility of a "third wave." If it's as "bad" as the first or second wave, you can safely keep your sleeve down... because this undercooked bacon is already cold.

Deadly Third Wave Begins In US

The six pediatric patients who died this week along with the cluster of fatal cases in North Carolina on college campuses raise the specter of a deadly third wave of H1N1 Swine Flu. The 'normal' seasonal flu would expectedly begin to peak right at this time, but what is unknown is the degree to which the 'normal seasonal flu virus' is being replaced wth the mutant H1N1 swine flu virus with the deadly D225G mutation associated with deep lung fatal infections.
Do not let your guard down.

Six H1N1 Pediatric Deaths In California Raise Concerns


Recombinomics Commentary 10:10February 05, 2010


There were 9 influenza-associated pediatric deaths: MS (1), TX (1), CO (1), CA (6)The above pediatric deaths for week 4 are in Friday’s MMWR and will be in the CDC week 4 report. The six deaths in California are striking and once again signal a high level of fatalities when there is no seasonal influenza A and reported pandemic H1N1 levels are low. In addition, the Pneumonia and Influenza deaths for week 4 will be 8.1%, virtually unchanged from the spike reported in week 3, which increased the rate to 8.2%The 9 pediatric deaths are week above the 5 year average for week 4, which is 2 deaths. These newly reported cases raise the number of confirmed pediatric deaths in the 2009/2010 season to 248. 247 of the 248 were due to pandemic H1N1. This number is well above the any report since pediatric death reports were mandatory. Last year the level broke 100, but that was due to the pandemic H1N1 deaths in the spring and summer. Deaths from seasonal flu were well below 100.The latest additions are not a surprise. Pandemic H1N1 is far more lethal to children as well as all age groups under 65, internet and media disinformation campaigns notwithstanding. The disinformation campaigns compare projections based on lab confirmed cases to US (36,000) or world (500,000) deaths created by extrapolations linked to pneumonia deaths, which lack influenza confirmaton.Moreover, recent data signal the start of wave 3, which is likely to be higher than wave 1 last spring or wave 2 in the fall. The traditional flu season peaks are in February/March and the recent H1N1 increases position wave 3 to coincide with more traditional seasonal flu trends.These recent increases raise concerns that the new wave will be more severe and deadly than earlier waves. The released sequences with D225G/N are on the rise, and in the Duke outbreak these changes were linked to fatal cases who were infected with Tamiflu resistant H1N1.Moreover, Mill Hill data on a Ukrainian isolate with D225G designated the isolate a low reactor, indicating titers with reference antisera was at least four fold lower than the reference isolate.Thus, a higher frequency of severe and fatal cases is expected in wave 3.Media Links

Swine Flu Update: Prepare for Third Wave

It ain't over til its over. The H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic which captured headlines since last spring has been circulating the globe for almost a year. In that time there have been thousands of deaths and hundreds of millions of people infected. The virus has generally proven to cause only mild illness, but there has been a wide-spread mutation, D225G, which is associated with deep destructive lung infections that often prove fatal. Spreading from the Ukraine to other parts of the world, now there are clusters in the United States. Look out for the third wave of this epidemic as winter gives way to spring. It could prove deadly if the D225G mutation becomes predominant. Do not let down your guard. It ain't over yet.









H1N1 Increases on North Carolina College Campuses


Recombinomics Commentary


February 03, 2010


After staying low for awhile, the number of H1N1 cases is slowly climbing again, said Dr. Zack Moore, an epidemiologist with the N.C. Division of Public Health.“We’re starting to see an upswing on college campuses in the last week or two,” Moore said.“(The first wave) was a very big wave, and it definitely affected students and young people more than the seasonal flu,” Moore said.It’s possible that the numbers could climb as high as they were last fall, but there is no way to predict that now, he said.The above comments on increases in pandemic H1N1 on college campuses in North Carolina are consistent with reports of an uptick in severed cases at UNC medical Center in Chapel Hill, NC. An increase in H1N1 activity in the northern hemisphere at this time of year is not unexpected, and the above cases support the spike in Pneumonia and Influenza deaths in the US, including the South Atlantic region.Moreover, there is concern about oseltamivir resistance in the region due to transmission at a summer camp followed by a fatal outbreak at Duke Medical Center. The Duke outbreak involved at least three fatal cases. Five sequences with H274Y were released and all five isolates had the rare marker, Y233H, while three had D225G or D225N, suggesting that those sequences were from the fatal cases. In addition, another isolate, which matched the Ukraine sub-clade had D225G. The status of that patient was unknown, but the collection was from North Carolina and in the same time frame as the Duke outbreak.The recent reduction in H1N1 has raised concerns that a new wave in the winter/spring would have a higher frequency of D225G which would generate more severe and fatal cases. The linkage with D225G/N with fatal cases in Ukraine is strong, and recently released sequences have a higher frequency of D225G/N, conversion of D225E to D225G, and an increase in isolates with both D225G and D225N. These increases may be linked to the Mill Hill designation of a Ukraine isolate with D225G as a "low reactor".Sequence data from the current college cases in North Carolina would be useful.Media Links

Swine Flu Update: D225G Mutation in Brazil


Once again, Dr Henry Niman is out front keeping us abreast of all that is new in the still on-going Swine Flu epidemic. The major media are largely silent and are mostly concerned with the vaccine scammers backstabbing one another. The marketing campaign to convince the public of the world's nations that they must be vaccinated against the Swine Flu has been a miserable failure. Now governments are backing out of production contracts they signed months ago with the big vaccine manufacturers. Expect big law suites as inventories grow of unused and unsaleable vaccine lots. They're talking about shipping it all off to 'third world' countries as 'foreign aid'. But the real story centers around the severe and fatal cases that are still occurring around the world in many countries caused by a viral mutation called D225G. Now D225G has showed up in fatal cases in Brazil which is a long way from Ukraine and other Eastern European countries where it first appeared. This may mean that a fatal mutated virus is spreading, and there is the possibility that it may replace the milder form that has been wide-spread so far. In that event, the death rate may sky-rocket. Let us hope that that does not happen.

But the news from Brazil is not good.



Identical H1N1 Fatal D225G Sequences in Brazil and Ukraine

Recombinomics Commentary 14:39January 11, 2010


Recent sequences from five fatal cases in Brazil were released, including an HA sequence with D225G, a polymorphism which had only been seen in fatal cases in Brazil. This 100% case fatality rate linked to samples with D225 or D225N has been reported for several countries, but in many instances the origin of the sample has been the affected tissue. This might skew data toward fatal cases because most milder cases are diagnosed via nasopharyngeal swabs which may have lower levels of H1N1 with D225G. However, the Brazilian sample, A/ Rio de Janeiro/5826/2009 was a nasopharyngeal swab, demonstrating that D225G could be identified through an upper respiratory source commonly used for milder cases. However, the sequence in the July sample from Brazil was an exact match with A/Lviv/N6/2009, which was from the lung of a fatal case in Ukraine, collected in late October. This identity provides additional evidence supporting the spread of these sequences, which is further supported by matches between more localized sequences.However, the WHO working hypothesis maintains that the changes at position 225 are random errors that do not transmit. The matches such as the one above, or the same change in closely related sequences that are close in time and space, are simply coincidences generating independently again and again by copy errors. This unlikely scenario is cited because these changes are appended onto different genetic backgrounds. In Brazil the background in Rio de Janeiro with D225G is distinct from the two sequences in Sao Paulo with D225G. Moreover, there have been many additional examples of jumps from one genetic background to another, which is most easily explained by recombination. However, WHO consultants insist that recombination plays little or no role in genetic drift, which is solely driven by random copy errors.As more data accumulates, this random mutation hypothesis becomes less and less tenable. In addition to the above sequence from Brazil, recent sequences from Ukraine and Moldova have two or more changes at position 225, further diminishingly the explanation of random mutations. In Ukraine, these new sequences demonstrated that the reports of position 225 changes paralleled the spread of the outbreak and associated fatalities. Initial sequences were from western Ukraine and involved HA sequences with D225G or D225N. Subsequent sequences from Kviv and Chernihiv had both changes in the same patient, which would require two random errors that coincidently targeted the same position in the same patient. Moreover, the Kyiv patient also has D225A requiring three random errors at the same position. Examples of multiple changes at the same position in the same patient have been reported in patients in the United States, Mexico, and Sweden, which are unlikely to be generated by the same random errors repeated again and again.These changes are associated with a case fatality rate of 100% in many countries, including Ukraine and Brazil and raise serious concerns. The WHO effort of shoring up an untenable hypothesis is hazardous to the world's health.

Swine Flu Death Rate Soars in Ukraine and Russia

The H1N1 epidemic continues to explode in the Ukraine with an accelerating death rate. The epidemic of a novel, mutated H1N1 virus has now spread widely into neighboring countries including Russia and is being virtually ignored by the media. While information is sketchy, it is clear that the situation is deadly and still evolving. Even though far away the event in Ukraine and the Eastern European region are only a jet plane ride away. So now is not the time to go to sleep on what can still happen throughout the world. Now is not the time to let down your precautions. We may soon face a nasty third wave of a global pandemic that is far from spent.




Ukraine Fatalities Spike to 805

- One Day Record of 38
Recombinomics Commentary
January 4, 2010



3,802,945 Influenza/ARI
222,205 Hospitalized

805 Dead

The above update is from the Ukraine Ministry of Health. The number of deaths was 38 more than Sunday's report. Donetks had the largest increase. The 11 deaths in the past two days in the oblast brings the season total to 108, which is the highest in Ukraine. Donetks shares a border with Russia (see map), where there have also been a high number of cases. Recently released sequences from Russia match the initial sequences from western Ukraine.Although the number of reported cases has declined in recent days, the jump of 38 deaths in 24 hours is the highest reported to date for Ukraine and raise concerns that sequences with D225G and D225N are becoming more common and are linked to the rise in deaths. Sequences from recent fatalities in eastern Ukraine would be useful.

Swine Flu: The Third Wave Approaches

As the third wave of this pandemic approaches do not let down your guard against influenza. Make sure you are up on your Vitamin D at the very least. Consult previous posts on this blog for details. It aint over til its over and there are a lot of things that are taking place in many places around the world. What is happening in far distant places today may be happening here tomorrow. We are now approaching 4 million cases in Ukraine, where the Mossad agent Joseph Moshe said a bio-weapon would be detonated by Baxter Laboratories. There are now 698 official deaths from H1N1. That number is hard to assess because of limited testing of the sick. The real number is undoubtable much higher. Remember WHO told member countries to stop testing for H1N1 back in August! So all the numbers are suspect. What does all this mean to you? It means you and I are on our own. We have to do what is necessary to protect ourselves. There is going to be no help from the government or anybody else. Let us hope that we do not experience a 'third wave' of this Swine Flu Pandemic. Let us hope that the mutations that are causing high mortality in Ukraine do not become widespread.

3,722,314 Influenza
210,136 Hospital
698 Dead


The above update is the latest report from the Ukraine Ministry of Health. The increase of 23 dead in the past 24 hours is similar to the prior two days, bringing the three day total for this week to 65, which is similar to the rate at the beginning of the outbreak in October. The largest jump in the past 24 hours was in Donetsk, where the five fatalities raised the season total to 85 (see map). Although cases and deaths are decline across much of the northern hemisphere, the high death rate in Ukraine provides support for another wave of H1N1 in early 2010.The high death rate also raises concerns about receptor binding domain changes. Sequences released from four fatal cases by Mill Hill had D225G. Two more sequences, released by the CDC had D225N and were also likely from fatal cases. Recent reports of D225G and D225N in the same patients raise concerns that both changes were in these patients and sample selection or virus isolation procedures led to detection of one of the two receptor binding domain changes.However, the high death rate associate with either or both of these receptor binding domain changes raises concerns of the emergence of the changes at a higher frequency. Therefore, release of additional sequences from early as well as recent fatalities would be useful.

Second Wave of Swine Flu Hits Ukraine


Second explosive wave of Swine Flu hits Ukraine. Just when we were beginning to think that the worst was over, there seems to be a resurgence of Swine Flu cases in the Ukraine. Total cases there are now approaching 3 million! In all likelihood this means further evolution and mutation of a very lively virus with unusual characteristics. It also means that we are going to face in all probability a long flu winter season here as well. It ain't over till its over. Keep your prevention precautions in full effect.
Ukraine H1N1 Cases Explode

Recombinomics Commentary December 15, 2009


2,690,563 Influenza cases

156,272 Hospitalized


507 Dead


The above numbers are from today's Ministry of Health update on the H1N1 situation in Ukraine. Deaths have passed to 500 mark, but the above numbers show a major jump in cases, which are 143,961 higher than yesterday (see map). Donetsk increased 16,352 to 225,476 and Dnipropetrovsk increased 15,236 to 297,971. The latest figures extend a reversal of the downturn and clear represent a new wave in Ukraine. This new wave suggests similar results will be seen in the region, setting the stage for a major peak throughout the northern hemisphere in early 2010.In addition, media reports said that over 200 fatalities have been H1N1 lab confirmed, setting the stage for a robust sequence database. Mill Hill released data on 10 isolates at GISAID, which included nine from hard hit western Ukraine in October. Five of the nine were from nasopharyngeal washes and were similar to isolates from Norway. However, all four of the HA sequences from fatal cases had D225G. Similarly, the CDC released data on five cases. Three matched the Mill Hill data on nasopharyngeal washes, while two were new and were likely fatal cases. Both had D225N, raising concerns that the receptor binding domain changes played a role in the fatal result. Both of these polymorphisms are rare in pandemic HA sequences at GISAID and Genbank. Results for other countries highlighted the linkage between RBD changes and fatal or severe outcomes. However, since changes ar position 225 can alter receptor binding specificity, it would be useful to have multiple samples from these fatal cases.The more than 200 confirmed fatal cases should lead to a rapid increase in the sequence database from Ukraine.

Nightmare Scenario: H1N1 + H5N1

below is a report coming from Vietnam where there are cases of H1N1 swine flu and H5N1 bird flu. The leading health official there worries that the two could combine at anytime, producing a mass killer virus. This is what I have called my 'night mare scenario'. Let us hope and pray that this does not happen, either in a natural way, or by the deliberate intention of wicked people who have a depopulation agenda. Be reminded that Baxter Labs was caught red-handed distributing a contaminated flu vaccine earlier this year. Contaminated with what? H5N1 bird flu, that's what! This can only be viewed as the intention attempt to detonate a biological holocost with a vaccine which in reality is a biological weapon of mass distruction.


Swine flu, bird flu viruses could form deadly cocktail: health official

The reappearance of bird flu has opened up the threat of the virus combining with the swine flu virus to become more lethal and capable of human transmission, a health official warned at a meeting of the National Steering Board of Human Flu Prevention on December 2.

Health officials recommend washing hands with soap as an effective measure to protect against the A/H1N1 virus

Dr. Nguyen Huy Nga, chief of the Preventive Health and Environment Department, said the H1N1 virus that causes swine flu could combine with the H5N1 virus and become more deadly than the former and more capable of human-to-human transmission than the latter, especially in winter

He told delegates that two more people have died of swine flu, both from the Mekong delta province of An Giang -- a 33-year-old man from who died on November 20, and a 17-year-old girl who died on November 29.

On November 28 bird flu claimed its fifth victim, a 23-year-old man in the northern province of Dien Bien. Many others have been hospitalized around the country with suspected bird flu.

Officials from the Vietnam Drug Administration said at the meeting that three drug suppliers, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Sanoffi Aventis, and Pasteur have registered to sell swine-flu vaccines.

The administration has tested the vaccine made by GSK which would supply 1.2 million doses through the World Health Organization, they said.

They are meant for high risk groups like children aged six to 59 months, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions including asthma, diabetes, and immune system problems, and health-care personnel who provide direct patient care, the officials added.

Besides buying one million doses of Tamiflu, Vietnam has successfully made an antiviral drug for treatment of both flus called Arbidol (Fludon H1),

So far the country has reported 10,944 swine-flu cases with 46 deaths and five deaths from bird flu.

More Details on Joseph Moshe

Here are more details about Joseph Moshe, the whistle blower, who warned the White House that Baxter Labs was about to detonate an bio weapon disguised as a vaccine in the Ukrainian Republic. The whereabouts of Mr Moshe is disputed. Some say he was deported back to Israel, other reports indicate that he is being held in a psychiatric hospital in the Los Angeles area.
As a major stock holder in Baxter, President Obama is in a perfect position to get to the bottom of all this and let the American people know what is going on. The implications are just too great for there to be such silence from the White House on something that could impact the lives of millions on this planet. Mr Obama needs to clearly distance himself from he genocidal agendas of his predecessors and their controllers.
He needs to take the country back on the track of a democratic Republic, of, by and for the People.

Joseph Moshe, MOSSAD
Today, the MSM are not talking about this case any more. Yesterday, they wanted us to believe that Joseph Moshe was a nutcase and a terrorist, arrested for threatening to bomb the White House. Interesting detail about his arrest (the “Westwood standoff”) was that he seemed to be immune to the 5 cans of tear gas and 5 gallons of law-enforcement grade pepper spray they pumped into his face. He
very calmly remained in his car, as the video footage of his arrest shows.
Professor Moshe had called into a live radio show by Dr. A. True Ott, (
explanation of Joseph Moshe’s call at 06:00) broadcast on Republic Broadcasting claiming to be a microbiologist who wanted to supply evidence to a States Attorney regarding tainted H1N1 Swine flu vaccines being produced by Baxter BioPharma Solutions. He said that Baxter’s Ukrainian lab was in fact producing a bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. He claimed that the vaccine contained an adjuvant (additive) designed to weaken the immune system, and replicated RNA from the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic Spanish flu, causing global sickness and mass death.
Sources tell us that Bar-Joseph Moshe made no threat against the President or the White House. He did not mention any bomb or attack. He then proceeded to inform the White House he intended to go public with this information. When he noticed men in suits in front of his house and feared that the FBI was about to detain him, he packed some belongings into his car and, him being a dual Israeli citizen, tried to reach the Israeli consulate located in close proximity to the federal building where the standoff took place. The FBI and the bomb squad prevented him from reaching it. Who is this man?
His profile on biomedexperts.com says he is a plant disease expert with many publications on his name involving the genetic manipulation of virii. Photographic evidence that Moshe is who he says he is can be found here.
Joseph Moshe was soon after his arrest sent or let go to Israel. Nothing has been heard from him since. The Secret Service was not the agency involved in the surveillance of Moshe at his home in California. This was done by the FBI, who had orders to detain or arrest him. Mounted on top of a large black vehicle used in his arrest was a microwave weapon that possibly damaged the electronics in Moshe’s car as well as any communication devices he had which might have been used to contact the media or others who could help him.
Moshe did not suffer the same effects of the gas and pepper spray that others would have because he had built up an immunity to such weapons as a by-product of his Mossad training. Moshe was not handcuffed because he was not placed under arrest.
Does this sound like an insane conspiracy theory? Sure it does. Due to the scarcity and anonimity of the sources we would dismiss it as exactly that, if it weren’t for some uncomfortable facts: Baxter Pharmaceutical has been
caught, red-handed, in spreading a live, genetically engineered H5N1 Bird flu vaccine as a lethal biological weapon all over the world, destined to be used for human vaccinations. This happened just a few months ago. And only luck prevented a global catastrophe of epic proportions.

Baxter International Inc. had mixed live, genetically engineered avian flue viruses in vaccine material shipped to 18 countries. Only by sheer luck, a Czech laboratory decided to
test the vaccine on a dozen ferrets, which all died in days. The World Health Organization was notified and catastrophe was averted. This was clearly a deliberate act on Baxter’s part, because they adhere to BS3, bio-safety level three. Baxter admitted a “mistake”. Such monumental screwups are totally impossible at that level. Many safety systems would have needed to be sabotaged, many key personell would have needed to be bribed. It simply can’t be done without direction from the inside. They did not send out the wrong vial – they produced dozens of gallons of biological-weapon agent (genetically engineered live H5N1 / Bird flu virus), then sent it out as a “vaccine”.
Baxter knew full well that their vaccine was lethal, because the year before they had tested it on a few hundred homeless Polish people –
dozens died as a result.
Where’s the meat? Well – Baxter is now
being sued for the deliberate, repeated contamination of vaccines with biological weapons designed – by them – to mass-murder people. Here is the complaint (PDF). By some kook nutcase? Not likely – Jane Burgermeister is an experienced, respected journalist. She is not the only one suing Baxter for planning and executing a plan for global genocide: Others are filing complaints as well. Read a well-researched complaint here (PDF).
Qui bono? We think it may be profit-motivated or even sheer incompetence, but for the conspiracy-minded: The latter complaint alludes to intentional “culling of the herd”. Have you heard of the
Georgia Guidestones? An enormous monument loaded with Masonic symbolism costing millions of dollars, it has been erected by unknown, powerful elites (multimillionaires with the clout to erect monuments wherever they please, obviously) around 30 years ago. It gives an “alternative ten commandments”, of which the first is the extermination of six and a half billion people from the face of the Earth. Half a billion will remain. This is the number of people the planet can sustain indefinitely, so that the descendents of the Rothschilds and Rockefellers can live in peace and affluence indefinitely. Slaves are needed to produce that luxury, but 500 million will do just fine. But how does one go about killing off most of the world?
“Vaccinating” the planet with a bioweapon with near-100% mortality would do the trick. Baxter would provide both the bioweapon as well as the vaccine against it to “civilized” Western peoples. Result: We can plunder Africa, we have no more competition from SE Asia, the oil is for our taking and only Western and perhaps Chinese sheeple remain.

Rockefeller said this in 1994 at a U.N. dinner: “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis, and the nations will accept the New World Order.” PNAC said something similar right before 9/11.
A Spanish Doctor in Internal Medicine largely agrees with the above article:

Deadly Swine Flu Mutations in the US


What we have been watching with horror taking place in the Ukraine is now apparently in the US. Reports from North Carolina and Iowa confirm suspicions that the mutated virus that has killed hundreds in Ukraine and Norway is now inside the United States. The mutation of the H1N1 virus called D225 causes infection deep in the lungs of its victims producing a hemorrhagic pneumonitis and death in a 2 to 3 days. The picture to the left is a microscopic picture of lung tissue infected with H1N1showing blood filled alveolar air-sacs. This is a scary development along with the fact that re-infection is known to be possible.

Everyone should do all they can to stay well. Get on the flu prevention protocol. Do your best to avoid crowds, and unfortunately, avoid people who have had the Flu Mist vaccine who may be shedding flu virus for up to 21 days.

Let us all hope and pray that this plague passes over us.


Deadly Swine Flu Mutations in the US
Iowa and North Carolina Reports Raise Fears H1N1 Mutations Have Reached United States
Filed Under Pandemic, Ukraine
New reports from Iowa and North Carolina are raising concerns that the deadly H1N1 swine flu mutations that have been confirmed by the WHO in Ukraine, Norway and elsewhere have already reached the United States. In Iowa, a report that doctors are seeing “very heavy, wet hemorrhagic lungs, lungs with a lot of blood in them” in H1N1 patients is creating concerns among health experts that the deadly Ukraine H1N1 has already spread there. In addition, a report of Tamiflu-resistant H1N1 swine flu in North Carolina is raising questions about the ability of medical authorities to combat H1N1 if thousands of people do start dying. If deadly H1N1 swine flu mutations have already reached the United States, what does that mean? Doctors in Ukraine have been reporting that victims of H1N1 there are experiencing violent hemorrhaging in their lungs. As the patients near death, their lungs reportedly become as “black as charcoal” and literally begin to disintegrate. Will this start happening soon inside the U.S.?
Last week, the WHO confirmed that an H1N1 mutation had been discovered in Ukraine. This H1N1 mutation involved a receptor binding domain change, and it is apparently causing the H1N1 virus to become much more virulent.
Just like the new report in Iowa, many victims of H1N1 in Ukraine have been experiencing violent hemorrhaging in the lungs. Temperatures inside the lungs of patients in Ukraine have been reported to be as high as 135 degrees Fahrenheit. As the patient near death, the lungs turn to mush and literally become as black as charcoal.
In fact, one doctor in Western Ukraine was quoted as saying the following about what is happening to the lungs of these patients…..
“We have carried out post mortems on two victims and found their lungs are as black as charcoal. They look like they have been burned. It’s terrifying.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, the WHO has now confirmed that the same H1N1 mutation has shown up in Norway.
Norway’s Institute of Public Health has released a statement in which they announced that this mutation “could possibly…cause more severe disease” because it apparently infects tissue deeper in the airway than usual.
Not only that, but today Hong Kong’s Department of Health has confirmed that it has found the same mutation in a H1N1 flu virus sample as the one detected in Norway recently.
Hong Kong is on the other side of the world from Ukraine and Norway.
What in the world is going on?
Nobody knows for sure, but the truth is that the increasing similarities between the current H1N1 outbreak and the 1918 “Spanish flu” outbreak are becoming too striking to ignore.
Firstly, both the current outbreak and the 1918 Spanish flu are from the H1N1 family.
Secondly, both the current outbreak and the 1918 Spanish flu have the same mutation that is currently being reported in Ukraine, Norway and Hong Kong.
Thirdly, the hemorrhagic deaths that victims are experiencing in Ukraine closely mirror the kind of deaths experienced by victims of the 1918 Spanish flu. Just consider the following description of 1918 Spanish flu deaths from Wikipedia…..
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
“One of the most striking of the complications was hemorrhage from mucous membranes, especially from the nose, stomach, and intestine. Bleeding from the ears and petechial hemorrhages in the skin also occurred.” The majority of deaths were from bacterial pneumonia, a secondary infection caused by influenza, but the virus also killed people directly, causing massive hemorrhages and edema in the lung.”
You would think this stunning information would be so important that the mainstream media would be all over it, but sadly that is not the case. Instead they seem intent on covering the opening of the “New Moon” movie and whatever Barack Obama had for breakfast this morning.
But not only is the mutation discussed above a tremendous concern, but now there are confirmed reports that Tamiflu-resistant H1N1 is spreading.
Recently a Tamiflu-resistant strain of the H1N1 swine flu was reported to have been discovered in Wales, and now a Tamiflu-resistant cluster of the H1N1 swine flu has been reported in North Carolina.
However, medical authorities don’t seem overly concerned. Dr. Alicia Frye, epidemiologist in the CDC’s flu division, said in a prepared statement that “at this time we don’t have any information that should raise concerns for the general population.”
If the best drugs medical authorities have will soon not work against H1N1, perhaps the public should be concerned.
Meanwhile the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention has announced that swine flu deaths in Europe are doubling every two weeks.
Swine flu deaths in Europe are doubling every two weeks?
Perhaps the mainstream media should start paying attention to this.
Posted below is one of the very few mainstream media video reports we have about the “black lung” flu that is ravaging Ukraine…..
All of this is happening at a time when environmental extremists are pushing the “overpopulation” myth harder than ever. In fact, the United Nations Population Fund has just released its annual State of the World Population Report in which it openly calls for reducing world population growth as a way to combat climate change. The reality is that if a deadly H1N1 mutation did kill tens of millions, many very sick environmental extremists would actually applaud. Increasingly, many in the environmental community are viewing humanity itself as a “disease” that needs to be eradicated for the good of the earth.
Talk about a dangerous belief system.

Accidentally on Purpose


The article below expresses the viewpoint of very much establishment virologists from Australia who make it clear that in all likelihood, the current Swine Flu pandemic is caused by a virus created in a lab. Somehow it 'escaped'! A lab error? Yeah, like Baxter Labs 'error' earlier this year in shipping 72 kilograms of flu vaccine 'accidentally' contaminated with deadly H5N1 bird flu virus. Many knowledgeable people doubt that such an error as that is actually possible. If it occurs it is because somebody wanted it that way. That such mistakes are made is just a 'plausible' excuse. How can such 'errors and mistakes' be accepted by you and me, when we may pay with out lives for such 'errors and mistakes'? And don't forget, your Congress has indemnified the vaccine manufacturers from all claims and liabilities from vaccine injury and death. Does that mean these 'errors and mistakes' were somehow planned? In other words:"Accidentally on Purpose."
Swine Flu Epidemic Escaped From Lab -


Australian Scientists Say
By Angela Kamper
The Daily Telegraph11-29-9

Three Australian experts are making waves in the medical community with a report suggesting swine flu may have developed because of a lab error in making vaccines.

"It could have happened in a lab where somebody became affected and then travelled with it," virologist Dr Adrian Gibbs said yesterday.

Conjuring up a vision of Frankenstein's fictional monster fleeing the laboratory, he added: "Things do get out of labs and this has to be explored. There needs to be more research done in this area.

"At the moment there is no way of distinguishing where swine flu has come from."

The research, published in the Virology Journal on Tuesday, was compiled by two former researchers at the Australian National University - Dr Gibbs and programmer John S. Armstrong.

Dr Jean Downie, once the head of HIV research at Westmead Hospital, was also involved. The article claimed the swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus that appeared in Mexico in April has at least three parent genes which originated in the US, Europe and Asia.

"The three parents of the virus may have been assembled in one place by natural means, such as by migrating birds, however the consistent link with pig viruses suggests that human activity was involved," the research found.

Within two days of them publishing their findings, there were more than 16,000 downloads of the article.

"What we wanted to do was instigate debate about this again because we still don't know the source of this virus," Dr Gibbs said.

The research suggested more tests be done on laboratories "which share and propagate a range of swine influenza viruses".

It said that if the virus was generated by laboratory activity it would explain why it had "escaped surveillance for over a decade".

Dr Gibbs said it was not the first time lab errors had been made, with evidence foot and mouth disease in England had been born out of a lab mistake and circumstantial evidence that Spanish influenza in 1918 and Asian influenza in 1957 reappeared decades later because of mistakes.

"Measures to restore confidence include establishing an international framework co-ordinating surveillance, research and commercial work with this virus and a registry of all influenza isolates held for research and vaccine production," the report concluded.

Swine Flu Virus Breaking All the Rules!

Swine Flu Re-Infection is a scarey and an unexpected development!
Here is a documented case of re-infection with H1N1 in a pediatrician from the US. She was infected, along with her son, in the summer and then got re-infected later raising concerns that the H1N1 virus can make a second circuit through a population previously infected. Could that lead to a 'second wave phenomenon' similar to what was seen in 1918 and 1919? Couple that to the mutation at D225G which permits infection deep into the lungs causing very severe illness and even death. We don't like what we are looking at. This is a virus that is breaking all the rules!
H1N1 Re-infections Raise Pandemic Concerns

Recombinomics Commentary



November 25, 2009



Dr. Debra Parsons, a pediatrician at Kid Care West in Cross Lanes, was met with reactions of doubt from local health officials last month when she said two flu tests had come back positive for H1N1, or swine flu.Parsons first came down with the virus, complete with all the telltale symptoms, in August.Her son became ill at the same time with the same symptoms. Figuring they had the same bug, Parsons tested herself to see what it was.The test came back positive for Influenza A, so the lab at Charleston Area Medical Center sent it to be sub-typed. Parsons was positive for H1N1.Parsons and her son recovered, but in October they started having the same symptoms, but they became much worse. They were both tested this time, and the results were the same -- they were positive for Influenza A and then H1N1."It was swine flu both times," Parsons said.The above comments on lab confirmed re-infection of two family members two months apart by swine H1N1. These confirmations are supported by many anecdotal reports of similar re-infections. The timing of these infections allowed for easy identification, because at the time there was no seasonal flu, so identification of infections was straight-forward. Moreover, such infections in school aged children and parents are common because H1N1 infections exploded when school began.At the time however, the H1N1 virus was evolving slowly, reflecting an ease of infection of a naïve population. The jump from swine H1N1 into humans allows for infections with low doses of virus. Low concentration of virus produces a mild infection and a weak antibody response. The rapid spread creates widespread antibody, but the low level allows for re-infection from individuals with a higher viral load. A higher viral load can be created in a school environment, where some students could be infected multiple times because of frequent contact with infected students.Thus, the increased viral load could overcome the weak immune-response and re-infect those infected earlier, leading to a second wave. However, the higher viral load leads to more serious infections, especially for these not infected in the first wave. Consequently more previously health young adults develop more serious symptoms, leading to an increase in hospitalizations and deaths. The higher viral load, especially when combined with receptor binding domain changes such as D225G can lead to the type of cases seen in Ukraine, where a high percentage of young adults develop infections that destroy both lungs in a matter of a few days.In many areas, including Ukraine, this wave is subsiding, but the holiday season will lead to new infections by viruses with regional markers, leading to a third wave in early 2010.

Swine Flu in Mecca


Swine flu in Mecca? I don't think so. Why? Three of the four who died do not fit the profile of swine flu. They were elderly and one at least had a major pre-existing condition. Only the young girl from Nigeria fits the swine flu profile. But, even then, there is no laboratory confirmation of H1N1.
Earlier this year there were three confirmed cases in Egypt of a mixed infection of H1N1 and H5N1 (bird flu virus) which is very disturbing and dangerous. These three cases were in individuals who had just returned from Mecca. No further cases have appeared since then.

Saudi confirms four pilgrims die of swine flu
"Sunday, 22 November 2009 Elsa Baxter
H1N1 THREAT: Four pilgrims in Saudi Arabia to complete the hajj have died from swine flu, the Ministry of Health confirmed on Saturday.The first person was a 75-year-old Sudanese man, who developed H1N1 symptoms four days after arriving in Madinah. He was treated by the Sudanese medical hajj mission and then admitted into hospital, but his condition deteriorated, reported the Saudi Gazette.
The second case was a 17-year-old Nigerian girl, who developed swine flu symptoms two days after arriving from Cairo.
The third casualty was a 74-year-old Indian pilgrim admitted to Makkah hospital suffering from fever and bronchitis.
And the fourth person was a 75-year-old Moroccan woman already suffering advanced lung cancer.
The Saudi authorities have introduced a series of measures to prevent the spread of swine flu during this year’s hajj. Thermal cameras have been installed at air and sea terminals in Jeddah to measure arriving pilgrims’ temperatures. While 15,000 health workers have been employed and hundreds of extra hospitals beds set up.

Ukraine Mutated Virus the Same as 1918 Spanish Flu Killer Virus


Respected mainstream virologist, Henry Niman, who would probably consider me to be one of the 'wild conspiracy theorists', in this latest report details the meaning for all of us of the now documented genetic changes occurring in the swine flu in Ukraine and other locations. Essentially, this mutated virus has survial advantage for the virus and virtually duplicates the clinical picture of the killer flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919 that killed upwards of 100 million.

In short, this is very bad news for the world.


In addition to media reports quoting WHO spokesperson, Ukraine also came up in WHO weekly teleconferences on Nov 5 and 12. These notices were carefully worded to exclude large changes in the virus, but left open small changes, including receptor binding domain changes. Such changes were of interest because hundreds of patients had died at a rate and level markedly higher than any other European country, and the descriptions of the fatal cases were detailed, noting severe hemorrhage, as well as the total destruction of both lungs.


Patients had been arriving at emergency departments coughing up blood and dying within a few days. Moreover, most of the patients were previously healthy young adults.The gruesome descriptions and the large number of fatal cases led to wild speculation by conspiracy theorists on one hand and media and political reports such as the one above, claiming that the Ukraine outbreak was small and not unusual.

However, the careful wording of WHO updates clearly left open the possibility of small changes including the receptor binding domain and the D225G change had been predicted, based on the high number of fatalities involving lung hemorrhaging and disintegrating.Yesterday, the sequences from 10 isolates were released at GISAID by Mill Hill and the predicted change, D225G was confirmed. This change had been "in play" and was appearing on multiple H1N1 genetic backgrounds signaling recombination and selective advantage. The recent update of demographics for the 10 patients demonstrated that the four isolates with D225G were the four patients who had died, further raising concerns that D225G on a Ukrainian H1N1 background, or other H1N1 backgrounds could lead to more severe cases and deaths. Moreover the same change had been observed during the 1918-1919 pandemic, which also involved swine H1N1 jumping and adapting to humans.Thus, the genetic change(s) in H1N1 in Ukraine is of considerable concern, media reports and Senator comments, notwithstanding.

From the Frontlines of Plague Torn Ukraine

Here is some exclusive video footage from the front line in Kiev, Ukraine. This account shows first hand what is going on, what it looks and feels like, what it may be like here in the very near future. One new piece of information is crucial. No vaccine was administered before the out-break. Now large shipments have arrived. Was blackmail involved to force sales?
Remember, bio-terror has been used successfully in the past. For example, in the 1980's an outbreak of another hemorrhagic virus took place along the Ebola River in Zaire (now Congo) after President Mobutu refused to go along with a foreign scheme to locate Litton Bionetics in North Eastern Zaire, with a licence to experiment on the people.
After the detonation of the 'ebola outbreak' as depicted in the movie, 'Outbreak', Mobutu caved in to save the rest of his people. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Swine Flu Virus Has Mutated in Ukraine


The gene sequences from Ukraine have been released by WHO and are showing that there has been genetic mutation of H1N1, probably on the basis of reassortment. The specific change in gene sequence is the D225G and was recoverd from both lung and throat samples of cases that ended in death. These changes show the development in the H1N1 swine flu the ability to selectivly infect lung tissue causing a massive immune response called 'cytokine storm'. It is the cytokine storm that actually destroys lung tissue and causes death. Cytokine storm is more likely in younger healthy patients who are able to mount a strong immune response, that in fact is too strong. If these changes are the result of reassortment, ie, mixing of different viruses, this may be very disturbing because widespread vaccination has created the perfect background scenario for the wholesale mixing of many differenct viruses within individuals. Isolates from different parts of the world have shown similar changes making it clear that the genie is already out of the bottle.
