The H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic: Manipulating Data to Enrich Drug Companies

The H1N1 virus has led to panic and fear across the world. However, a closer examination, most of the statements made by the World Health Organization (WHO) appear to be based on weak data and incomplete. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta (CDC) has established and used data significantly overestimate the need for costly and unnecessary vaccine to generate profits for U.S. industry protection for pharmaceuticals.
The WHO said that there is a public health emergency worldwide had deployed on an unprecedented scale in 2009 and 4.9 billion doses of vaccine against H1N1 influenza have been necessary to stop the spread . Shortly after the countries around the world have started preparing for the planting of millions of people according to WHO recommendations. In some countries, WHO recommends that vaccination be mandatory H1N1. However, many people were unaware that the data used by the WHO was faulty at best.

United States, federal and state governments have begun to prepare for the pandemic. State governments are generally responsible for these preparations, in coordination with federal agencies. The Chairman of Obama's advisors on science and technology published a report that "given the pandemic of H1N1" a serious threat to health 'for the United States is not as bad as the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, but worse than the 1976 swine flu. "Replying to a language so terrifying, the legislation of Massachusetts has introduced heavy fines and prison sentences for those who refused to be vaccinated. The U.S. military must have an active role in this health emergency.

There was no uniform system for collecting data on alleged victims of swine influenza in the United States, which led to confusion, lack of accurate statistics. The CDC has acknowledged that the data are collected on "probable and confirmed cases in the United States contained no separation between" confirmed "and" probable. "In fact, only a small percentage of cases reported have been" confirmed " by laboratory tests. These bad data and much more, as the world has been given to WHO, which in turn used the figures to justify a pandemic.

The need for a better method of analysis and counting those infected has been demonstrated in the WHO "data" has provoked a wave of inaccurate conclusions about the seriousness of influenza and the distance that had spread .

The WHO has declared a fourth step of gravity on April 27. Two days later (April 29), without corroborating evidence, the pandemic has been raised at Step 5. A little over a month later (June 11) was raised again in step 6, the level of a pandemic itself. The abrupt change in the number should have been an awakening to WHO that something was wrong with its data collection. Yet, despite the changes suspects, he did not seek to improve the process of data collection in terms of laboratory confirmation. In fact, the opposite happened. After the announcement of Phase 6 of a pandemic, the CDC decided that collecting data from individual cases of probable and confirmed he was no longer necessary to determine the spread of swine fever. WHO does not consider the change in data collection and the same month the authorities predicted that "up to 2 billion people could be infected over the next two years, nearly one third of the world . 'The report has created an atmosphere of fear and insecurity.

In August 2009, WHO has recognized that the risk of basic symptoms were mild and that "most people recover from flu within a week, just as they are forms of seasonal influenza."

The number of inaccurate data collection disproportionately infected due to quantitative model of the CDC, established in July 2009. April 15 to July 24, 2009, states reported a total of 43,771 probable and confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1). Among the cases reported, 5,011 people were hospitalized and 302 deaths.

On July 24, 2009, was interrupted by the CDC. Instead of collecting data that could provide empirical support for the evaluation of how the virus is spreading the H1N1 virus, the CDC announced that it has developed its own model to determine the actual number of new cases of influenza H1N1 in the United States.

The CDC also said: "The model took the number of cases reported by state and adjusted the data to account for known sources of underestimation, the bookkeeping for people who have never reported their illness, even if no evidence existed of these infected people. These estimates resulted in an inaccurate and basically made the figure of the infection. The CDC has acknowledged that at the beginning of the epidemic, once the disease had spread, would be more useful for the transition to standard monitoring systems to monitor the disease, hospitalizations and deaths.

CDC data was then used to justify mass vaccination, which has generated huge profits for the pharmaceutical industry. The CDC requires that data submitted by members "is undervalued." The CDC then inflated figures of "unconfirmed" cases, many cases of seasonal influenza. The "adjusted figures" are then inserted into the model. Using the model approach to the CDC, it is estimated that more than one million people have fallen ill with H1N1 influenza between April and June 2009 in the United States. Because these estimates are not based on a disease is confirmed, the number may increase or decrease depending on the whim of those who control the model. CDC simulations and forecasts of the spread of swine influenza virus H1N1 are then used to plan the implementation of a vaccination program at the national level. Based on the model predictions, the mass vaccination of half the U.S. population is needed, with the possible provision of isolation under the jurisdiction of the civil or military.

Reportedly, the U.S. government should have 85 million doses of vaccine by the end of October 2009. The U.S. government had ordered 195 million doses by drug companies. On July 29, 2009, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), an advisory committee to the CDC recommended the vaccine for H1N1 will be used first to priority groups, these groups and would be approximately 159 million individuals . Agence France-Presse reported that the U.S. has done for the vaccine to cover between 30 and 78 percent of Americans. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical industry earned huge profits by the Americans who bought a vaccine against the useless and potentially dangerous in large quantities.

It is important that physicians, epidemiologists and health workers to talk through their respective associations and to refute government officials acting on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry, and to denounce the manipulation of data. An accurate count of infected people must be created in time for the next pandemic, if a blow to better meet public needs. It is also important to warn the public about the dangers of vaccines against H1N1 are not tested. WHO can not exactly serve the people they claim to be without the cooperation of groups like the CDC. Unfortunately, the CDC does not protect against humanity because he is too busy to extend the baseline of the pharmaceutical sector.
