Invitation to Swine Flu workshop, 18th Sep, Red Cross, Bhubaneswar.

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir/Madam,

 

Namaskar. In continuance of our email exchanges on the subject we have decided

to hold a meeting at Red Cross Bhawan, Bhubaneswar on the 18th September to

discuss about the Swine Flu, Tami Flu and, of course, the vaccine which will be

released in October. The seminar is the effort of Deccan Development Society, at

Hyderabad.

 

Considering the media hype on the Swine Flu (H1N1), the statement of Dr Margaret

Chen, Head of WHO that the institution was aware that Swine Flu would occur as

an epidemic and the patent of the vaccine was cleared exactly an year before the

current pandemic, the abuse of Tami Flu as the cure,  and the vaccine being

targeted towards small children, pregnant women and the elderly, the unknown

ingredients of the vaccine,many of us are skeptical about the whole episode.

 

We have to act fast considering that we have very little time in our hands

before the vaccine is ready and the Swine Flu " explodes " as predicted by the

WHO.

 

The one day workshop will dwell on how we can consolidate our stand. We have to

clearly understand the nature of the disease and also how effective this

" mandatory " vaccine is. We have all along been apprehensive about our future in

the hands of the drug industry and NOW is the time to act.

 

While your stay at Bhubaneswar and the meeting venue will be ensured by DDS, you

have to kindly bear your travel expenses.

 

Let us hope that all of us congregate and decide on a plan of action. Once you

confirm your participation we will plan the agenda. The venue is Red

Cross Bhawan at Bhubaneswar.

 

The tentative plan is to first recognise what the swine flu is, discuss about

the safety and efficacy of Tamiflu & the vaccine, look at alternatives, and then

we go forward to the strategy session.

 

Yours faithfully,
