When I heard this week’s news that GlaxoSmithKline were offering a diarrhoea vaccination to third world countries at cost, I immediately wondered where lay the catch – just before wondering why you would vaccinate a child to prevent diarrhoea when all that is needed to eliminate the disease is access to clean water and good hygiene.
Well, a post on the VaccineTruth website answers the question. The Rotarix vaccine that they are offering at cost to third world countries has been suspended from use in first world countries because it contained DNA from pigs, so GlaxoSmithKline cannot sell it at its normal price to us!
In conspiracy theory terms this is pretty tame – and obvious. Credibility is stretched a little more by the Natural News theory that the emergence of a new and lethal E coli bug is a result of bio-engineering and deliberate release on the part of Big Pharma to further discredit natural fresh foods…
As they point out, this particular bug is resistant to over a dozen antibiotics in eight different drug classes – and the only way to achieve this is in the laboratory. Once engineered, it can be selectively released – as it has been – where it will best serve your purposes.
‘If you can make people AFRAID of fresh vegetables – or even outlaw them altogether – then you can force the entire population onto a diet of dead foods and processed foods that promote degenerative disease and bolster the profits of the powerful drug companies.’
This may seem far fetched, but like most conspiracy theories, there is good logic running through it – and given the pharmaceutical industry’s thus-far successful attempt to out law much natural medicine in Europe, one cannot help wondering…
Do read the full article….
This is all very interesting stuff. The Natural News (NN) article contains alot of very specific information about the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) decoding of of the genetic makeup of the 0104 e-coli strain. I would be interested to know exactly where this detailed information came from.
At the end of the NN article there is a link to an article in the German ‘Ärtzte Zeitung’ (AZ) proposing that the outbreak might have been a terrorist attack. The AZ article quotes Dr. Klaus-Dieter Zastrow, Chief Clinician at the Vivantes Clinic in Berlin and spokesperson for the German Society for Hospital Hygiene as saying ‘It could possibly be that some idiot thinks that it would be a great idea to give a few thousand people diarrhea. If we are dealing with a completely new bug, you do have to ask where it comes from.’ This remark is quoted in the context of a wider criticism of the RKI’s handling of the e-coli outbreak, particularly the way the Institute jumped to unsubstantiated conclusions.
As the analysis in the NN article apparently came from the RKI, its conclusions should perhaps – for the time being – be treated with some caution.
It is also interesting that none of the mainstream media which have been carrying this story for the last few days has mentioned The RKI analysis and its possible implications.
