Indonesia accuses U.S. and WHO of bird flu conspiracy
Disease/Infection News
Published: Wednesday, 20-Feb-2008
A new book by an Indonesian Health Minister has accused the
United States and the World Health Organisation (WHO) of trying to profit from
the spread of bird flu.
Dr. Siti Fadilah Supari says the two powers are part of a
global conspiracy and she suggests the United States would use bird flu samples
to produce biological weapons.
According to Dr Supari, WHO laboratories have been guilty of
forwarding influenza viruses to Western companies so they can profit by selling
vaccines back to developing countries.
Dr. Supari's views could very well undermine efforts to
control the spread of avian influenza because Indonesia has already seen 104
deaths from the virus, almost half the world's total, and Indonesia continues
to be a hotspot for the virus.
Regardless of claims made by the minister that she has agreed
to share virus samples and allow all nations access to resulting vaccines,
Indonesia still continues to refuse to share samples from human victims.
Dr. Supari is firm in the belief that the system of world
health management has been exploitative, and based on a greed for capital and a
desire to control the world.
Dr. Supari says some Indonesian seed virus samples were sent
to a U.S. Defence Department laboratory, in Los Alamos, New Mexico, where
nuclear weapons are developed which she says is also developing biological
weapons.
In the book Supari describes herself as the "divine hand
behind avian influenza" on a crusade against an evil and "neo-colonialist"
world health system and critics suspect she has lost touch with reality.
Indonesia's President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono however
appears to have endorsed the book and he supports Dr. Supari's claim that the
virus is under control in Indonesia and the occurrence rate and the number of
affected areas are decreasing.
The WHO has declined to comment and no U.S. officials were
available.
