Back on Haiti for a second.  Not only did the UN deliver up a nice serving
of Cholera, they help set up Haiti as a testing ground for a new Cholera
vaccine.

The story of the Haitian earthquake of 2010 is not over, and the latest
trauma to be pressed on these beleaguered people may be a useless
vaccination trial passed off as a genuine attempt to resolve the ongoing
cholera epidemic. With the assistance of Bill Clinton’s aide and UN
employee Garry Conille, the United Nations’ PAHO (Pan American Health
Organization) pressured Haiti’s Ministry of Health to start a vaccination
campaign against cholera in early 2012.

The prevention and cure of a cholera epidemic is straightforward. Step 1 is
to provide adequate clean water. Step 2 doesn’t exist. The only thing
required to prevent cholera is clean water. It cannot be transmitted when
its breeding grounds, polluted water, are removed. Yet, rather than focus
on actually resolving the epidemic that has taken the lives of unknown
numbers of Haitians, world powers acting as fronts for Big Pharma, have
pushed vaccinations as the primary goal of relief.

The plan was to give the vaccine, called Shanchol, to 100,000 Haitians
starting in April of this year. Each person was to receive 2 doses 1-6
weeks apart. The campaign was carried out between April and June of this
year. The cost of the vaccine was $400,000, $2 per dose. That’s $4 person,
and it doesn’t include the cost involved in actually disseminating it.

In July, NPR reported that the cholera vaccination was a success. That does
sound impressive—until you discover that what they mean by success is that
less than 90% of the target population received the vaccine. It has nothing
to do with whether the vaccine was effective. On that, NPR is silent.

So, this focus on vaccinating Haitians avoids even addressing the real
solution and the one that would provide one of the most basic rights of
every human being: clean water.

There is no realistic chance for vaccines to eliminate cholera from Haiti,
or even to prevent it in a majority of the population. Trying to implement
such a vaccination campaign means that money that might have gone towards
providing clean water—which would eliminate cholera—is wasted on a
boondoggle. To find out, it’s necessary to ask who benefits, and the answer
to that question is obvious: Big Pharma. In this case, it’s specifically
Sanofi-Aventis, along with its cohorts in crime, the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation through their investment in Sanofi.

The Haitians are being used as another profit center for Big Pharma. But it
likely won’t end there. It’s expected that the cholera epidemic will spread
to other countries in South America. The profit potential in a cholera
vaccine is, therefore, enormous—as long as it can be pressed on the people.
Is there any possible explanation for the Haitian cholera vaccination
boondoggle other than as an experiment to see how to make that happen?

Some days I wish we had a system like the U.K. where, you know, the party
in power could do a lot and you know, you’d see how it went and then fine
you could un-elect them.  Now, over time, our system has worked slightly
better than theirs, theirs has worked okay but so it’s ironic that right
now it feels like I wish there was slightly more power in the presidency to
avoid some of these deadlocks. So I think what he Obama wants to do and
what he’s actually able to do, the gap is so big there that it’s hard to
know in some wa
