- The Myth Of Medical
Transparency

- As you'll read in the two articles posted below, it turns
out that a great deal of the Chiron flu vaccine that was banned and held
under lock and key in England WAS ACTUALLY SHIPPED TO THE US, WHERE IT
IS NOW SITTING IN DISTRIBUTORS' WAREHOUSES.
-
- There is one simple question here. When the US government
announced this week that Chiron vaccines were unsafe, why didn't they
mention
that a great deal of the vaccine was already inside the US?
-
- Where unscrupulous people could sell it....
-
- A loose analogy: A British company that makes kids' toys
discovers that its new toy, a car, which is not yet on the market, contains
radioactive material.
-
- So, a ban on sales is instituted.
-
- Except a million of the toys are already in warehouses
in the US.
-
- Will the office of Tommy Thompson, the head of the US
Dept. of Health and Human Services, receive ANY calls from mainstream
reporters
demanding to know why Thompson didn't tell the American people, when he
announced the ban on Chiron's flu vaccine, that a great deal of that
vaccine
was ALREADY in the US?
-
- I think not.
-
- Because I know how lazy or brain-dead most medical
reporters
are. Only when a story kicks them in the face like a mule do they respond,
and then only when it's an approved mule.

- CHIRON VACCINE DANGER ALERT, PART 2
- OCTOBER 9, 2004.
- Part one is posted immediately below...
-
- There are lots of implications here. Although it may
be standard practice for a vaccine manufacturer to ship out huge numbers
of doses to distributors before doing its own final safety check on the
vaccine, it invites big trouble.
-
- The Chiron doses are in the US already. People who work
for these US distributors could have already sold off some of the stocks.
Note that the SF Chronicle mentions doses sent from England to the US in
July. Why should we assume they have been sitting in warehouses all this
time?
-
- And now that all Chiron flu vaccine is banned as
dangerous,
the black market will take over. People at those US warehouses could be
making deals with Mexico and South America and Canada and, yes, America,
and who knows where else, before all the vials are destroyed.
-
- This is a major scandal and health threat in progress,
and the US Dept. of Health and Human Services seems to be doing nothing
about it.
-
- So it is buyer beware. If the buyer is determined to
get a flu shot, how is he to know whether it comes from Chiron?
-
- The most desperate (and uneducated) buyers are going
to be those people HHS claims "really need the vaccine": the
elderly, the very young children (their parents fighting like loons to
obtain it for the kids), and those whose immune systems are already
compromised.
-
- In other words, the people most likely to have a severe
reaction (illness, injury, death) from the vaccine.
-
- What is contaminating Chiron's flu vaccine is the
serratia
bacteria. It is now cited as a cause of pneumonia and infections in
hospitals.
-
- Remember, when germs in a vaccine are introduced into
the body, they are injected, which means that several working portals of
immune defense are bypassed through the direct injection route.
-
- __________
-
- RUSSIAN ROULETTE AND THE FLU VACCINE
-
- Boom. It turns out that a significant amount of the flu
vaccine made by Chiron in England---the vaccine just declared contaminated
and unfit for use and dangerous---IS ALREADY IN THE US. It was shipped
here prior to the ban.
-
- It's sitting in US distributor warehouses, "outside
the direct control of the company or US [FDA] regulators," according
to SFGate.com, the San Francisco Chronicle's online outlet.
-
- We could be talking about something on the order of 20
million doses...
-
- So, which flu vaccine are people in the US going to be
getting this fall and winter??
-
- The vials of Chiron vaccine in the US are under a
quarantine
imposed by the company after it learned that all 48 million of its 2004
flu-vaccine doses were banned by British regulatorsbut that quarantine
does not mean the vials will just sit there in US warehouses. Oh no. It
means that eager greedheads can start putting it on the market. Because
the selling price will skyrocket in a very heavy demand situation.
-
- Chiron vaccine could be going out the door as we
speak.
-
- It's open season on people who want flu vaccine.
-
- And as you,ll see in the SFGate article excerpted below,
there is a curious word being used to describe FDA action on these
US-warehoused
flu vaccine doses: the word is RELEASED. Huh? RELEASED? No explanation
is spelled out.
-
- Here's the article excerpt:
-
- The Chronicle has learned that vaccine shipped across
the Atlantic has been sitting since August in the warehouses of American
drug distributors, under a Chiron-imposed "quarantine,'' but outside
the direct control of the company or U.S. regulators.
-
- Now, Chiron's entire production of at least 48 million
doses of flu vaccine has been rendered useless after British regulators
abruptly suspended the license of the Emeryville-based company's Liverpool
factory Tuesday, cutting the U.S. supply of flu shots in half.
-
- In this case, Chiron employed the little-known quarantine
process under which drugmakers can ship products to distributors before
final safety tests are completed.
-
- Norman Baylor, deputy director for the FDA's vaccine
unit, said it was not unusual for manufacturers to ship vaccine under
quarantine.
The quarantine is lifted by the manufacturer when the company's final tests
confirm that the product is safe and the distributor is free to sell
it.
-
- "I think the system works,'' Baylor said in an
interview
in September shortly after Chiron's contamination problem first surfaced.
"The system did what it was supposed to do.''
-
- Baylor also confirmed that 27 bulk lots -- nearly half
of the 60 produced by the Chiron plant -- had been "released"
by the FDA prior to the company's discovery that some finished product
was contaminated. The actual number of doses that can be produced from
each lot varies.
-
- Although the federal agency does not conduct tests on
the final product, companies are liable for the safety of their medicines
and have powerful incentive to test them thoroughly before releasing them
from quarantine, Baylor explained.
-
- Chiron shipped its first million doses of vaccine to
distributors in late July, trumpeting its first-to-market achievement in
a July 23 press release. At that time, the company explained that "in
the coming days," it would "complete its internal release
procedures,
allowing distributors to begin shipping vaccines to customers.''
-
- Any optimism at Chiron evaporated with Tuesday's ruling.
"We consider the Fluvirin season to be over, for all intents and
purposes,''
Chiron spokesman John Gallagher said Wednesday.
-
- He also confirmed that the initial crisis had been
triggered
when tests detected serratia bacteria in a small number of lots. Serratia
bacteria are often implicated in episodes of hospital-acquired infection
and can be deadly in the bloodstream.
-
- The company has yet to reveal when it discovered the
contaminated lots, but having found a problem, Chiron never lifted its
quarantine. Although no Chiron vaccine was shipped to clinics, some drug
industry experts acknowledge that its presence at multiple U.S. distributor
warehouses poses a potential security problem.
-
- "Because of the shortage, the spot market for flu
vaccines is going to go through the roof,'' said David Webster, a health
care consultant in Lehigh Valley, Penn. "Any time there is an
extremely
valuable commodity, the potential exists that it will work its way on to
the black market. It is a legitimate cause for concern.''
