               The material released was a combination H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and live, unlabeled H5N1
               viruses. If both strains were to incubate and recombine in a human host, a virulent airborne
               weapon that would cause a pandemic would be released, potentially killing billions.

               The Baxter facility did not radiate the material before they sent it out, leaving the deadly virus
               alive.

               To sum up,Baxter International, a global pharmaceutical corporation that has secured lucrative
               contracts to supply bird flu vaccines in pandemic, mixed live bird flu with human flu vaccine
               material in a Biosecurity level -3 facility, fail to radiate it and sent it under a false label to 16 labs
               as vaccine material.

               About eight weeks later, a artitificial, genetic worldwide interspecies flu pandemic breaks out in
               Mexico City, close to another Baxter facility, and the same company is given government and
               WHO contracs  to produce vaccines for the outbreak.


               According to Austrian Health Minister Alois Stöger , 72 kilograms of vaccine material was
               contaminated with the live bird flu virus which WHO supplied.

               Fragen 14 und 15:


               Das für Forschungszwecke bestimmtes Material -72 kg waren als kontaminiert anzusehen - wurde
               in die Firma  zurück geholt und kontrolliert vernichtet.“

               It is still not clear how 72 kilograms of the world’s deadliest bioweapon can be sent by accident
               from a high biosecurity facilities, not irradiated and under a false label.

               However, we know from Baxter itself that it produced the 72 kilograms contaminated material
               using a  wild type live bird flu virus obtained from the WHO reference center.

               I would like to provide the following update to a posting on ProMED
               dated 25 Feb 2009 (Avian influenza, accidental distribution - Czech
               Rep. ex Austria: RFI).

               The H5N1 strain was the A/Vietnam/1203/2004 strain, received from a
               WHO reference centre. All information concerning this incident has
               been provided to the involved national authorities and appropriate
               international bodies such as ECDC and WHO.
