Baxter, an International pharmaceutical company based in America, has
just been caught mixing live Avian Flu virus (H5N1) with common flu
virus, in a flu vaccine. Baxter International’s research facility in
Orth-Donau Austria was the facility that shipped the contaminated flu
vaccine to other facilities in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and
Germany. The incident was discovered by a technician in a facility in
the Czech Republic, who injected ferrets with the vaccine as a normal
test procedure. The ferrets died.
Let that sink in. If not discovered by a mid-level technician, many of
the people immunized with the Baxter vaccine might have been infected
with avian flu, which can be deadly.
But it’s worse than that. H5N1 is not easily transmissible between
people. However, the common flu virus that it was mixed with does
easily infect people. The real danger in this incident is that the two
viruses could have mixed genetic material and mutated when injected
into tens of thousands of people, and could have created a hybrid
virus that was both deadly, and transmissible.
