(NaturalNews) A UN report leaked to The Observer claims that swine flu
could "kill millions" of people in poor nations and cause a total breakdown of
society unless wealthy nations come up with US$1.5 billion to pay for pandemic
vaccines and anti-viral drugs. It warns that the fragile economies of developing
nations could be completely destroyed by the breakdown of social services,
infrastructure and medical care.
The report specifically says:
"Countries where health services are overburdened by diseases, such as
HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria, will have great difficulty managing the
surge of cases. And if the electricity and water sectors are not able to
maintain services, this will have serious implications for the ability of the
health sector to function.
...If suppliers of fuel, food, telecommunications, finance or transport services
have not developed plans as to how they would continue to deliver their
services, the consequences could be significantly intensified."
This UN report identifies 75 countries that remain vulnerable to this
chaos scenario: 6 nations in
South America, 21
nations from Asia and 40 in Africa. The only way to prevent the possible
collapse of these nations, the report says, is for this $1.5 billion to be spent
on vaccines and anti-viral
drugs.
There is no mention in the report of teaching the citizens of poor nations how
to use their own local indigenous
medicine, or how to get
more vitamin D from sunlight, or even how to boost their
immune system health
through dietary changes. The suggestions of the entire report come down to just
two things: Vaccines and anti-viral
drugs.
Just another UN medical scam
So what's the real story behind all this? All be blunt: In my opinion, this
report is just another Big
Pharma scam. It's designed to scare people into sending even more money to
the drug companies
to buy their drugs and
vaccines. The threat of the "complete collapse" of these poorer nations is
designed to leverage first-world fear to motivate these nations to spend more
money on precisely the things that make the pharmaceutical industry wealthy.
There's no doubt that the citizens of poor nations need help improving their
health, but that should be accomplished through education and the use of local
medicinal plants, not through the chemical intervention of greedy
corporations from
first-world nations. The last thing the people of poor nations need is yet
another imperialist band of profit-minded corporations telling them to get
injected.
Haven't we already learned what happens when drug companies are allowed to
exploit the people of poor nations?
Pfizer, for example,
exploited the children of
Nigeria to run illegal drug experiments (http://www.naturalnews.com/026685_P...).
This cost the drug company $75 million in a class action settlement, and it
cemented the company's reputation as an evil killer in the minds of many.
It's obvious to the leaders of such nations that drug companies have no
interest in actually helping their people; they're only interested in exploiting
them for profit. This UN scare story is just another first-world tactic to
funnel yet more money to the drug companies who will only harm the populations
of poor nations.
It's not enough to vaccinate all the people in wealthy nations, you see. The
drug companies have realized they'll make more money if they can sell even more
vaccines and anti-viral drugs to people outside the countries where such
pharmaceuticals
can be readily afforded. But because poor nations can't afford to pay Big
Pharma's monopoly prices for these items, the only way to collect on the
vaccinations of the world's poor is to make sure wealthy nations front the cash.
That's the real point behind this UN scare report, in my view.
First world nations are at greater risk
But the UN has it all wrong in the first place. If H1N1 becomes a raging
pandemic, it's not the
poor nations of the world that are most at risk: It's first-world nations like
the United States.
Why? For several reasons:
• People in the U.S. work indoors and are more vitamin D deficiency than people
in poorer nations. Thus, they are far more vulnerable to pandemic viral
infections.
• People in the U.S. have largely abandoned indigenous medicine, so when the
vaccines and anti-virals run out, they have no other options. People in poor
nations, on the other hand, generally have local knowledge about medicinal,
anti-viral plants and medicines.
• As a highly complex, specialized society, the U.S. is far more susceptible to
cascading collapse than poor nations that aren't very far removed from their
agrarian ways. In many ways, poor nations can't really "collapse" because
they're already operating at a very basic level. The U.S., on the other hand,
has a long way to fall.
Of course, first-world nations think their medical technology will save
everyone. But this is a dangerous and wild assumption that completely ignores
two important facts:
Fact #1) There aren't enough hospital beds in countries like the U.S. to treat
even 5% of the population during a pandemic.
Fact #2) All the vaccines and anti-viral drugs relied on by first-world nations
can be rendered utterly useless virtually overnight if the virus mutates to a
resistant form.
Essentially, first-world nations are highly arrogant about their western
medicine, and they tend to think that "poor" nations are helpless without
vaccines and pharmaceuticals. But the reality is often the opposite: Poor
nations in South America,
for example, are sitting on a huge medicine chest of natural anti-viral plants
growing across the continent, and the locals still remember how to use those
medicines. Brazil, in particular, has enough
natural medicine
to treat not only its entire population, but the population of the entire South
American continent if they chose to harvest and prepare those medicines. Peru is
in a similarly advantageous situation, as is Bolivia.
It is only the reliance on western pharmaceuticals that makes these nations
vulnerable during a pandemic. Any nation that ignores its own natural medicines
and chooses to rely on the patented, monopoly-priced vaccines and drugs from Big
Pharma is setting itself up for disaster. Indeed, the chaos scenarios described
by the UN may come true, but only if poor nations abandon their roots and
surrender their medical sovereignty to western pharmaceutical companies.
The smartest thing any nation can do about
swine flu right now is
to run public service announcements teaching their populations about vitamin D,
healthy dietary habits and immune-boosting herbal medicine. That's the way to
protect the people of the world from any pandemic. Chemical intervention offers
no long-term solutions because it doesn't provide true immunity. It only sets
people up for a far worse future infection that wreaks even more havoc on
peoples' vaccine-compromised immune systems.
Make no mistake: The mass
vaccination of the populations in poor nations is just another form of
medical imperialism designed to make those nations dependent on first-world
pharmaceutical products. The same kind of games are played with finance,
agricultural products (GM seeds) and consumer products, too. Drug companies want
to expand their markets into poor nations. They want to compromise the immune
systems of an entire generation, creating future repeat business from these
people who will need more advanced (and expensive) medical procedures that
eventually stem from the long-term side effects of vaccines: Liver damage,
neurological damage, autoimmune disorders, etc. (Bill Gates, by the way, is
helping them do it by donating millions of dollars for global vaccination
campaigns.)
This is all about marketing, folks. It's a marketing conspiracy between the
United Nations and Big Pharma to scare up another billion customers for Big
Pharma.
