European Parliament to Investigate WHO and “Pandemic” Scandal
by F. William Engdahl
Global Research, December 31, 2009
The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January
2010 on the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global
swine flu campaign, focusing especially on extent of the pharma‘s
industry’s influence on WHO. The Health Committee of the EU Parliament
has unanimously passed a resolution calling for the inquiry. The step is
a long-overdue move to public transparency of a “Golden Triangle” of
drug corruption between WHO, the pharma industry and academic scientists
that has permanently damaged the lives of millions and even caused death.
The parliament motion was introduced by Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, former SPD
Member of the German Bundestag and now chairman of the Health Committee
of PACE (Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe). Wodarg is a
medical doctor and epidemiologist, a specialist in lung disease and
environmental medicine, who considers the current “pandemic” Swine Flu
campaign of the WHO to be “one of the greatest medicine scandals of the
Century.”[1]
The text of the resolution just passed by a sufficient number in the
Council of Europe Parliament says among other things, “In order to
promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical
companies influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for
public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them
squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and
needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown
amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines. The
"bird-flu"-campaign (2005/06) combined with the "swine-flu"-campaign
seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated
patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility and
accountability of important international health-agencies.”[2]
The Parliamentary inquiry will look into the issue of „falsified
pandemic“ that was declared by WHO in June 2009 on the advice of its
group of academic experts, SAGE, many of whose members have been
documented to have intense financial ties to the same pharmaceutical
giants such as GlaxoSmithKline, Roche, Novartis, who benefit from the
production of drugs and untested H1N1 vaccines. They will investigate
the influence of the pharma industry in creation of a worldwide campaign
against the so-called H5N1 “Avian Flu” and H1N1 Swine Flu. The inquiry
will be given “urgent” priority in the general assembly of the parliament.
In his official statement to the Committee, Wodarg criticized the
influence of the pharma industry on scientists and officials of WHO,
stating that it has led to the situation where “unnecessarily millions
of healthy people are exposed to the risk of poorly tested vaccines,”
and that, for a flu strain that is “vastly less harmful” than all
previous flu epidemics.
Wodarg says the role of the WHO and its the pandemic emergency
declaration in June needs to be the special focus of the European
Parliamentary inquiry. For the first time, the WHO criteria for a
pandemic was changed in April 2009 as the first Mexico cases were
reported, to make not the actual risk of a disease but the number of
cases of the disease basis to declare “Pandemic.” By classifying the
swine flu as pandemic, nations were compelled to implement pandemic
plans and also the purchase swine flu vaccines. Because WHO is not
subject to any parliamentary control, Wodarg argues it is necessary for
governments to insist on accountability. The inquiry will also to look
at the role of the two critical agencies in Germany issuing guidelines
on the pandemic, the Paul-Ehrlich and the Robert-Koch Institute.
