Vaccine maker ships Flu vaccine containing Live Avian Flu Virus
‘Accidental’ Contamination Of Vaccine With Live Avian Flu Virus Virtually Impossible
Czech newspapers are questioning if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic.

“The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses,” reports the Canadian Press.

"The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany."

"The contamination incident, which is being investigated by the four European countries, came to light when the subcontractor in the Czech Republic inoculated ferrets with the product and they died. Ferrets shouldn't die from exposure to human H3N2 flu viruses."

The question, whether this was an intentional "contamination" to start a bird flu pandemic is not as far out as one might think. Use of such a "mixed" experimental vaccine in humans could conceivably breed a mutation of H5N1 into a new virus that can be transmitted between humans. It seems the inoculated ferrets could have saved humanity from a pandemic.
