Editorial Reviews
Book Description
"FOWL!" is an investigastive report into how dioxins, POPs and other
environment chemicals are contributing to illness in migratory birds,
chickens and humans by making them more susceptible to the effects of
influenza viruses.

The avian flu scare is just the latest act in an ongoing world government
drama. This book is a disclosure about betrayals on many levels. Here are a
few of the truths that will be exposed: -Who wants the rural chickens dead?
Who benefits from the destruction of the family farm, here and abroad?
-What are the real reasons that domestic chickens and ducks are sick? -What
is the connection between toxic environmental conditions and the death
ofmigratory birds? -Why are human deaths associated with bird flu
concentrated in Southeast Asia? -Who benefits from the manufacture of a
'pandemic vaccine'? What's in it? -Why vaccines are not the answer.

Eliminating Bird Flu Fears:

10 Facts You Need To Know

By Red Flags Columnist, Sherri Tenpenny, DO

The concerns about avian influenza, a.k.a. bird flu, seem to have the
entire world in an uproar. More than 150 million domestic ducks and
chickens have been sacrificed throughout Southeast Asia, China, Russia and
Eastern Europe in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus. Billions of
dollars are being allocated to the development of a new “pandemic” vaccine
and the stockpiling of two drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza, which are touted to
“treat” the infection. The hysteria in the United States has risen to the
point where President George Bush allocated resources toward preparing to
use the military to enforce quarantines and perhaps even to enforce
mandatory vaccination.

What is really going on? Is a pandemic going to develop that will stop all
commerce for months and put an end to Western civilization as we know it?
(1) What tactics are being used to scare us into believing these measures
are necessary?

A level-headed examination of 10 important facts shows that the prevailing
alarmist point of view is inaccurate, irresponsible and self-serving.

1. The death rate from H5N1 infection is highly overstated.

Between Dec. 26, 2003 and Oct. 24, 2005, there were 121 confirmed H5N1
infections and, of those, 62 have reportedly died. That makes the
“apparent” death rate just over 51 percent, ranking this infection among
the most deadly on record.

However, thousands of mild and asymptomatic cases are going undetected as
detailed by Dick Thompson, a spokesperson for the World Health Organization
(WHO). In an interview granted to CIDRAP (Center for Infectious Disease
Research and Policy) News on March 9, 2005, Thompson said that the
case-fatality rate had been overstated. Documented cases were those where
the patients were sick enough to seek medical care in a hospital and,
predictably, they had very poor outcomes. He concluded, “Surely others were
infected and either not getting sick or not getting sick enough to seek
treatment at a hospital. Factoring those into the CFR [case-fatality rate]
has been impossible. We simply don't know the denominator.” (2)

To illustrate, if 62 people died, but 10,000 had actually been infected,
the death rate would be 0.62 percent, essentially insignificant. Therefore,
without knowing how many are infected, the death rate is being highly inflated

2. The virus has barely infected humans; significantly, there has been no
sustained person-to-person transmission of the infection.

Very few cases of severe human infection by H5N1 have occurred. An
intensified surveillance of patients in Southeast Asia has led to the
discovery of mild cases, more infections in older adults, and an increased
number of “clusters cases” among family members, suggesting that “the local
virus strains may be adapting to humans.” In other words, humans are
developing their own innate resistance to the virus. (3)

In addition, all cases have occurred via animal-to-human transmission, and
there is documentation of only one confirmed case of human-to-human
transmission. Without sustained transmission between humans — meaning one
person spreads it to another and another, and so on — there can be no
pandemic. The “hype” that, sooner or later, the H5N1 strain will mutate
into a strain that can be easily passed between humans is completely
unsubstantiated. Whether this will happen is nothing more than a guess
because:

3. We have had “potential pandemics” before.

In February 2003, Thompson of the WHO revealed that “there have been a half
dozen pandemic ‘false alarms’ in the last 30 years.” A false alarm is an
outbreak where a virus has jumped the species barrier, but has been
confined to one or two people and has not been lethal. (4)

What makes H5N1 particularly significant? Why is this virus gaining the
attention of the world? The attention may be due not to its potentially
lethal effects on humans, but rather to the deaths of millions of domestic
birds, infected or not. Could this be about commerce? Is this a global
economic crisis in the making, but not a global health crisis?

4. Tamiflu does not treat the flu and it is unknown if it will stop the
spread of the infection.

Clinical trials with Tamiflu have shown that the drug reduces acute
symptoms of flu by a maximum of 2.5 days, depending on the subgroup
analyzed. That’s it: 2.5 days.
In addition, viral shedding in nasal secretions was reduced after Tamiflu
had been administered. Although this would presumably lessen the exposure
risk for close contacts, this theory has not been tested. (5)

5. The virus is already becoming resistant to Tamiflu.

Recent human isolates are fully resistant to older, less expensive
influenza drugs, amantadine and rimantadine. (6) In addition, a high-level
of resistance to Tamiflu has been detected in up to 16 percent of children
with human influenza A (H1N1). Not surprisingly, this resistant variant has
been detected recently in several patients with H5N1 infection who were
treated with Tamiflu. (7)

In addition, nearly seven percent of people who are prescribed Tamiflu
can’t tolerate the side effect: persistent nausea. So, at nearly $100 for a
course of treatment, you might want to save your money and spend it on
saline nasal spray, which is at least as effective. (8)

6. The other newly recommended drug, Relenza, isn’t much better.

Relenza is a powder, which is inhaled twice a day for five days from a
breath-activated plastic device called a Diskhaler. Some patients have had
bronchospasm (wheezing) or serious breathing problems when they used Relenza.

In fact, in January 2000, the FDA issued a warning about prescribing
Relenza after some users reported deterioration of respiratory function
following its inhalation. Particular concern was expressed for patients
with underlying asthma or emphysema. The FDA stated that “an acute decline
in respiratory function may contribute to a fatal outcome in patients with
a complicated pre-existing medical history and pulmonary compromise.” (9)

7. The “seed virus” produced by the WHO and given to the vaccine
manufacturers may not be the correct virus.

In February 2005, the WHO developed several H5N1 prototype vaccine strains
in accordance with the requirements of national and international
pharmaceutical licensing agencies for influenza vaccine production. These
H5N1 prototype strains were made available to institutions and companies
working to develop the pandemic vaccines. (10)

By October 2005, the WHO had evidence that the virus had evolved and is now
“genetically distinguishable” — i.e., different — from the prototype strain
selected for vaccine development. In what can only be described as a case
study in bureaucratic thinking, the WHO, in spite of the new information,
does not recommend changing the strain.

In any case, it will take another 4 to 18 months before the vaccine is
ready for mass dissemination. As Nancy Cox, director of the influenza
branch at the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) stated, "If
we don't get a good match, the vaccine will be less effective, producing
illness, hospitalizations and death." (11) By that time, will the “vaccine
virus” show any resemblance to the “pandemic virus” thought to be in
circulation then? If it is appreciably different, how can mandatory
vaccination be justified?

8. Who benefits the most? Big Pharma.

Millions in grants and tax incentives to develop new products. Guaranteed
purchase orders from governments here and abroad. Complete product
liability protection. It doesn’t get any better for a product manufacturer,
and in this case, all the benefits go to Chiron, Sanofi-Aventis and
GlaxoSmithKline, the “big boys” in the market for making the new vaccine.
With a global population of more than six billion, the market share is
large enough to get their attention. Add in the financial incentives, and
the developers are off and running.

To add an additional layer of protection, on Oct. 18, 2005, Senator Bill
Frist (R-TN) and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) introduced and fast-tracked a
bill that would create a new agency within the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) called the Biomedical Advanced Research and
Development Agency (BARDA). This new agency would help “spur private
industry to develop and manufacture medical countermeasures for
bioterrorism agents and natural outbreaks.”

However, the dark side of S.1873, the Biodefense and Pandemic Vaccine and
Drug Development Act of 2005, is that it would exempt the pharmaceutical
industry not only from liability, but would also ensure that no one would
have access to data documenting medical failures or catastrophes. BARDA
would be exempt from access by the Freedom of Information Act, the Federal
Advisory Committee Act and parts of the Federal Acquisition Regulations. It
would act in total secrecy and protection from the general public by the
federal government. (12)

Fortunately, the scientific community is standing up loudly against the
formation of the new agency. The Federation of American Societies for
Experimental Biology, a coalition of independent member societies and
scientists, which has historically shown particular interest in public
policy issues relating to science, weighed in to voice several concerns. In
a letter to Chairman Burr, dated Oct. 18, 2005, the coalition’s president,
Bruce Bistrian, MD, PhD, wrote the following:

“On behalf of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental
Biology (FASEB), a coalition of 23 scientific societies representing more
than 65,000 scientists, I am writing to express our reservations over your
recent proposal to create the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development
Agency (BARDA)….”

“FASEB is troubled over the impact this new agency might have on
existing programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers
for Disease Control, particularly in an era of limited funding for domestic
discretionary spending. NIH and the dozens of universities and research
institutions around the country where NIH-supported research is performed
already have the scientific expertise and research infrastructure in place
to carry out the bioterrorism research that our nation needs. Our concern
is that BARDA would duplicate, constrain or even eliminate these programs.
Moreover, while implementing a ‘top-down’ approach to research, as
described in the BARDA proposal, may be suitable for the manufacturing
stage of development, we do not believe it is an appropriate substitute for
hypothesis-driven basic research, which has historically led to the most
important advances in biomedical science.” (Emphasis added). (13)

Hopefully, other organizations and the general public will follow suit and
fight to oppose this bill.

9. Who has the most to lose? The citizens of the world, particularly U.S.
citizens.

The Global Pandemic Preparedness Plan is nothing more than a power grab for
the government, the United Nations (UN) and the WHO. Buried deep within the
WHO’s plan, here is a glimpse of the ominous plans in preparation for
“affected countries:”

* Activate procedures to obtain additional resources; consider invoking
emergency powers.
* Activate overarching national command and control of response
activities, either by formal means or de facto (close oversight of district
and local activities).
* Deploy operational response teams across all relevant sectors. (14)

Global control and UN peacekeepers may be coming soon to a neighborhood
near you.

10. What you need to do

According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the avian
influenza virus is easier to destroy than other influenza viruses. It
appears that it is very sensitive to detergents — i.e., soap — which
destroy the outer fat-containing layer of the virus. This layer is needed
to enter cells of animals and, therefore, destroys the infectivity. In
other words, when you have been in public places, use soap to wash your
hands before touching your face. (15)

Congress is attempting to shield Pharma completely from responsibility and
then hide the resulting problems through the fast-tracking of S.1873.
Contact your senators immediately to try to stop the passage of this bill.

Margaret, your link no longer works. Perhaps in light of the continuing development of a very virulent h5n1 strain in Indonesia (75% mortality) Mercola has had second thoughts. :-)

Dear dillweed
As it stands june of 2006 "IT IS A HOAX" birdflue is a made up panic.
Big Pharma stands to make billions from this media hyped non-sense. Dont believe what you see on mainstream TV. Do some searching on sheri Nakkens links............
