Dr Ulrich Keil from the University of Münster and Director of a WHO centre, said that investigations should be opened into the role of national governments in the swine flu scam in a hard-hitting interview with the German magazine Stern.
Keil, who participated in a Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly hearing on WHO’s declaration of a pandemic emergency over the mild swine flu, said that mechanisms should have built into pandemic management plans to stop an emergency declaration that triggered a mass vaccination campaign with potentially dangerous jabs being made over a mild infections.
He criticised national infectious disease monitoring bodies as well as WHO for exaggerating the danger of the swine flu.
„Luckily , people didn’t let themselves be taken in. People noticed the swine flu is not a serious illness. It is a mistake to think people are stupid. It is the job of scientitsts to make facts comprehensible to lay people and without conflicts of interest,“ he said.
In addition, he said WHO’s plan to keep the world on a pandemic level six emergency for another two years in spite of the evidence there is no pandemic „absurd“ and said the pandemic level should have been reduced „long ago.“
„A lot more needs to be done to get to the bottom this story. The hearing in the Council of Europe was a first, correct step, but others must follow on a national level,“ Keil said.
If a lethal pandemic were ever to emerge, the best defence would be strenghtening people’s immune system (vitamins etc), he said, gently side-lining the role of vaccines altogether.
He said that the real killer diseases of today are not pandemics, but chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes or illnesses that come from a poor diet, smoking or too little exercise.
Also, he said that „a billion euros or more has gone up in smoke“ for the swine flu, money sorely needed for other treatments at a time when the health system is suffering from underfunding.
Keil said that it had become clear early on that no lethal mutation had remained mild in the southern hemisphere in winter. Furthermore, if the swine flu virus did undergo a significant mutation to become lethal, the vaccines would be useless, undermining WHO’s argument.
„You have to ask about the logic,“ he said.
Keil called for stronger regulation of the pharmaceutical industry, noting ist influence on governments and acdemia the lack of independent scientists.
He called it a scandal such a high proportion of ist revenue is spent on marketing and advertising.
The issue of whether bribes, off-shore bank accounts and other financial inducements have been given to officials to get them to go along with the swine flu scam has been spotlighted by the investigation into the activities of Dutch virologist Albert Osterhaus.
Keil focussed on the fact that pharmaceutical companies would still be paid for 34 million swine flu vaccines under current agreements, boosting vaccine manufacturer earnings.
The WHO scientists said WHO had opened ist doors to industry from 1990, leading to a massive influence on the organisation by the pharma lobby.
Keil attributed the relative lack of influence industry had on WHO up until then to the fact that many leading positions were held by people in the former eastern bloc, who had little interest in close contact with industry.
He criticised the current government for ist role in undermining independent institutes.
Keil’s interview is sure to add to the pressure to mount a full investigation in Germany into the swine flu scandal.
A parliamentary inquiry has already been launched in France.
Recently swine flu has become a very powerful threat for the people all over the world. It is first diagnosed in Mexico and now it has spread in many parts of the world. Swine influenza which is also called swine flu, hog flu or pig flu is an infection of a host animal by any one of several specific types of microscopic organisms called ‘Swine flu virus’
