- Hello Jeff,
-
- Newschannel4.com has a local report, "The Birds,
West Nile Virus...will it return?"
-
- This is a very scarey report and virtually says what
I said. One some of the radio programs I mentioned that beside WNV, we
will probably see more emerging diseases.
-
- I am 99.9% sure that Plum Island had a microbe escape
and the Experts know what is out there waiting in the wings. I think you
will see preparations for an all out war on mosquitos. I just wonder what
they were working with as far as mosquito borne illness. You can listen
to the report on the website. http://newschannel4.com/

-
- Hello Jeff,
-
- I just heard the promo for the NBC news at 6. The experts
are now telling the public here in New York that we might be expecting
not only the return of West Nile but also other diseases carried by mosquitos.
-
- So, it appears that I was correct months ago when I said
other microbes escaped Plum Island. The press stopped mentioning the Malaria
outbreak when the West Nile Virus hit.
-
- I said that microbes escaped during the power outages
and it sure looks like I was right. If we see more nonendemic epizootic
diseases, then I hit the nail on the head with Plum Island.
-
- That facility does not deserve to have deadly pathogens
like Ebola, Marburg, Plague, Anthrax and others. It looks like the experts
are preparing us by this news report.
-
- Jeff, this is a very scary situation. I was hoping I
was wrong. This is one of those times when you want to be proven wrong.
-
- Will keep you posted _____

- Subject: Encephalitis Vaccine, Oravax, Phase 1 trials
-
- Hello Jeff,
-
- I have been reviewing my research again.
-
- I have reread the part about the US DOD licensing Oravax
(subsidiary of Peptide Therapeutic a UK Cambridge firm) to receive royalities
from Encephalitis Vaccine. According to research, Phase 1 trials were
to BEGIN near the end of 1999. I am in the process of researching Phase
1 trials, and just what the Phase 1 trials mean.
-
- I have been told by a friend who attends a Senior Citizen
luncheon club in Yonkers, New York, that the Seniors who took the flu shots
had gotten very ill three weeks after they received the flu shot. Is it
possible that some people were not given flu shots, but clandestinely given
encephalitis (Phase 1 trial) vaccine.
-
- 1999 has now become 2000. I therefore assume that the
Phase 1 trials that were to commence the end of 1999 have already taken
place. So, just what was Phase 1 trials?
-
- We know that Japanese Encephalitis vaccine had been tested
on human volunteers at Plum Island. Are the Oravax Phase 1 trials of encephalitis
vaccine somehow connected to the Plum Island test? Was the encephalitis
deliberately released to test immunity of the human subjects who were injected
at Plum Island with the JE vaccine?
-
- Who were the volunteers that received JE vaccine at Plum
Island? Did they all come from a 2x2 mile area of Northern Queens? Were
any of the Plum Island volunteers among those who received the CDC door
to door blood tests?
-
- Jeff, the more I research this event, the more I reread
my research, the more convinced I am that there was a bioincident that
predicated the West Nile-like outbreak in the New York area. Whether the
bioincident was an accident that occurred when the power outages took place,
or a deliberate release of pathogens for a test, or Phase 1 trial, something
is definitely amiss. I am further apprehensive of the Plum Island upgrade
to a new level 4 large animal experiment lab. I think that more questions
need to be addressed by the facility and the CDC. I further think that
Plum Island needs to address the concerns about its consistantly horrific
safety violation record.
-
- If a level 4 lab needs to be built that can accommodate
large animal experiments, why place it in the most densely populated area
on the East Coast? Why not choose a small island in the Marshall Island
Chain. The islands are military controlled and isolated from global world
population center. I could also see a small island outside Greenland. Why
place this lab in an area known for massive national and international
travel. Not far from Plum Island, is JFK airport, and also LaGuardia.
As the crow flies, there is Boston's Logan Airport and Newark Airport in
New Jersey.
-
- Why New York, where there is so many National and International
travelers?
-
- Gratefully, Patty _____

is important if you are following the Phase 1 trial and just what it means.

- Product Portfolio: Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine Peptide
is developing a vaccine for the prevention of Japanese encephalitis viral
infections using its ChimeriVax(tm) technology. JE is a potentially fatal
neurotropic viral infection common in Asia, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan,
China, India and Thailand. The World Health Organisation has identified
the development of safer and less expensive vaccines against JE as a high
priority, which should ensure its use in endemic regions. In addition,
a safer vaccine that requires only a single dose for immunisation would
better meet the needs of travellers and the military. Safety and preclinical
efficacy of the JE vaccine has been demonstrated in pre-clinical studies.
a Phase I trial is scheduled to commence by the end of 1999 [Note the cooincidence
of the date cooinciding with this epidemic].
-
- PMC [Peptide Therapeutics Group] has been granted a worldwide
licence to the ChimeriVax(tm) technology for the development of vaccines
against JE (and tick borne encephalitis), in return for PMC funding all
future research and development costs and agreeing to pay OraVax milestone
payments and royalties on sales of licensed product.

began tests in '50s 09-29-1999 page A28 ìEpidemiologists suspect
that the West Nile virus has for the first time been isolated in humans
or animals in the Western Hemisphere, but the virus has for decades made
its home in several U.S. research laboratories, including Rockefeller University
in Manhattan and Yale University in New Haven, Conn. In fact, investigators
there were the first to grow and study the West Nile virus in the United
States. The work began in the 1950s when unidentified viral samples from
around the world arrived at Rockefeller on a steady basis.î

no harm in spraying. So even if we're overdoing it, there's no risk to
anyone in overdoing it...The more dead mosquitoes," he added, "the
better. I don't think the media should try to push this out of proportion."
