Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. has just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine material to medical distributors in 18 countries. The "mistake" (if you can call it that, see below...) was discovered by the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada. The World Health Organization was alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened?
The rest of the story ...
(Excerpt) Read more at naturalnews.com ...
“Baxter International Inc. in Austria ‘unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease’. Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic - these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses. Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components leading some day to a new pandemic.”
Or, put another way, Baxter is acting a whole lot like a biological terrorism organization these days, sending deadly viral samples around the world. If you mail an envelope full of anthrax to your Senator, you get arrested as a terrorist. So why is Baxter — which mailed samples of a far more deadly viral strain to labs around the world — getting away with saying, essentially, “Oops?”
But there’s a bigger question in all this: How could this company have accidentally mixed LIVE avian flu viruses (both H5N1 and H3N2, the human form) in this vaccine material?
who owns baxter?
Not sure, I had never heard of them before, there is a wikipedia entry on them though:

The gang at a pretty radical goldbug site I lurk at are convinced that after the U.S. has finished its job of destroying its own manufacturing base, impoverishing the rest of the planet, and ushering in worldwide socialism, the only way to get various supply-demand ratios back to normal is to eliminate the demand (via bird flu).
A very strange story on them?

It would be a bonanza.
Ding ding ding ding ding!!!!!
We have a winner!
I find it bothersome that were fined for boycotting Israel by participating in a boycott wit Israels enemies? That was what the story two or three posts above stated.

I want to know what the 18 countries were... I’ll bet many of those vaccines were headed to Africa.
This is attempted genocide. Period. There’s NO way this could be an accident. Especially with TWO strains of Bird Flu contaminating the vaccines.
Ahhh... we really are in a brave new world.
ME NEITHER!!!!!
And everyone here says this NEVER happens.
I’m healthy, my hubby’s healthy and we homeschool. We are not at risk for flu and if we get it, so what? We’ve lived through it before and will again.
There are far more things to worry about than some flu bug, trust me, this is all about money, period.
Was the technician who did the contamination American or did he come here in the last 10 ot 15 years?
Amazingly this MSM is not carrying this story, the FoxNews heatlh section not a mention, no front page coverage, no nothing, very suprising ....
Very strange:
[The shocking answer is that this couldn’t have been an accident. Why? Because Baxter International adheres to something called BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) - a set of laboratory safety protocols that prevent the cross-contamination of materials.
As explained on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosaf...):
“Laboratory personnel have specific training in handling pathogenic and potentially lethal agents, and are supervised by competent scientists who are experienced in working with these agents. This is considered a neutral or warm zone. All procedures involving the manipulation of infectious materials are conducted within biological safety cabinets or other physical containment devices, or by personnel wearing appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment. The laboratory has special engineering and design features.”]
bttt
There are more articles out there on this incident - one in the Canadian press, which begs the question as to why the American MSM is not covering this story.
