Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Hi Health Activists, The motivation for the current media hype scaring people into supporting a series of contracts to Vaccine Manufacturers and Public Health Infrastructure to administer vaccines is clear. The recent economic stimulus bill also contained a decrease in funding for bioterrorism and vaccine development in an economy move. The Vaccine Manufacturers and Public Health Groups, were forced to show that they were " essential services " and could not be cut. The Public Relations divisions of the Center for Disease Control and local Public Health Departments went into high gear to frighten the public. The result is nothing more than a " jobs program for research scientists and public health departments " . After all if Banks and Automobile companies can get bailouts, why not drug companies and public health scientists and doctors. The only way to stop it is to call your Congessmember _www.house.gov_ (http://www.house.gov) and two United States Senators _www.senate.gov_ (http://www.senate.gov) and ask them not to fund new vaccines and infrastructure to administer vaccines. Some local governments are getting into the act too and may have to be contacted, The article below mentions programs in Massachusetts and Georgia are examples. Only when legislators hear from the public will they think, there is support for more critical evaluation of the real data supposedly warranting these preparations. arnold --- On Thu, 4/30/09, CLG_News <_clg_news_ (clg_news) > wrote: CLG_News <_clg_news_ (clg_news) > DHS Sets Guidelines For Possible Swine Flu Quarantines " CLG News " <_clg_news_ (clg_news) > Thursday, April 30, 2009, 12:04 PM News Updates from Citizens For Legitimate Government 30 Apr 2009 _http://www.legitgov.org/_ (http://www.legitgov.org/) All items are here: _http://www.legitgov.org/#breaking_news_ (http://www.legitgov.org/#breaking_news) _DHS Sets Guidelines For Possible Swine Flu Quarantines_ (http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/04/28/politics/politicalhotsheet/entry4975598\ ..shtml) --Federal quarantine authority is limited to diseases listed in presidential executive orders; President [sic] Bush added " novel " forms of influenza with the potential to create pandemics in _Executive Order 13375_ (http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-6907.pdf) . 28 Apr 2009 DHS Assistant Secretary Bridger McGaw circulated the swine flu memo, which was obtained by CBSNews.com, on Monday night.

The physicians determine on the spot whether to quarantine that patient and all the other passengers. The CDC quarantines them at the CDC's sealed rooms on E Concourse. _US, Japanese Researchers Mix Samples of 1918 Flu Pandemic to Recreate Deadly Code_ (http://www.legitgov.org/researchers_recreate_1918_flu_virus_301208.html) Compiled By Lori Price 30 Dec 2008 (http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE4BS56420081229) _Researchers recreate 1918 flu pandemic virus_ (http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE4BS56420081229) --Why? And, why is no one *asking* why? 29 Dec 2008 Researchers have found out what made the 1918 flu pandemic so deadly -- a group of three genes that lets the virus invade the lungs and cause pneumonia. They mixed samples of the 1918 influenza strain with modern seasonal flu viruses to find the three genes and said their study might help in the development of new flu drugs. The discovery, published in Tuesday's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could also point to mutations that might turn ordinary flu into a dangerous pandemic strain. Most flu experts agree that a pandemic of influenza will almost certainly strike again. No one knows w hen [the US unleashes it] or what strain it will be but one big suspect now is the H5N1 avian influenza virus. _Huge New Biodefense Lab Is Dedicated at Fort Detrick_ (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/22/AR2008102203082\ ..html) 23 Oct 2008 The Department of Homeland Security dedicated a massive biodefense laboratory in Frederick yesterday, moving toward the facility's opening despite questions raised about the risks of deadly pathogens to be studied there.
