Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. has just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine material to medical distributors in 18 countries.
The “mistake” (if you can call it that, see below…) was discovered by the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. The World Health Organization was alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened?
“Baxter International Inc. in Austria ‘unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease’. Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic – these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses. Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components leading some day to a new pandemic.

But there’s a bigger question in all this: How could this company have accidentally mixed LIVE avian flu viruses (both H5N1 and H3N2, the human form) in this vaccine material?
The shocking answer is that this couldn’t have been an accident. Why? Because Baxter International adheres to something called BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) – a set of laboratory safety protocols that prevent the cross-contamination of materials.
As explained on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosaf…):
“Laboratory personnel have specific training in handling pathogenic and potentially lethal agents, and are supervised by competent scientists who are experienced in working with these agents. This is considered a neutral or warm zone. All procedures involving the manipulation of infectious materials are conducted within biological safety cabinets or other physical containment devices, or by personnel wearing appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment. The laboratory has special engineering and design features.”

Amazing that the companies trying to save lives in developing new drugs could be so careless. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise; look at the mercury poisoning from all the vaccines and the rate of autism.

You are missing the point. This was not an act of carelessness, this was deliberate. It was only discovered because the Czechoslovakian lab was overly redundant in their safety protocols. The three other labs that were making the vaccine did not detect the error.
The scariest thing about this event is that it has not been covered in any other English MSM news anywhere, including Canada, & the WHO web sight, reported to be on top of it, is completely silent on the issue.
Can you say – cover up ?

Don’t be so naive. Baxter isn’t trying to save lives. The point is, the live avian flu couldn’t have “accidentally” gotten into the vaccine.
So, it was put there on purpose. Just so happens that Baxter holds the patent for the avian flu vaccine.
And get ready for this, Baxter is making some of the vaccines for WHO for the swine flu.
