Indonesia accuses U.S. and WHO of bird flu conspiracy

Quote:
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.
