A UN report says millions could die and the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic could result in anarchy unless western world pays for antiviral drugs and vaccines for poorer nations.
The disclosure will provoke concerns that health officials will not be able to stem the growth of the worldwide H1N1 pandemic in developing countries. If the virus takes hold in the poorest nations, millions could die and the economies of fragile countries could be destroyed.
Health ministers around the globe were sent the warning on Thursday in a report on the costs of averting a humanitarian disaster in the next few months. It comes as officials inside the World Health Organisation, the UN’s public health body, said they feared they would not be able to raise half that amount because of the global downturn.
“The downturn means that governments countries are reluctant to give,” he said.
The 47-page report provides a detailed breakdown of the basic needs of 75 vulnerable countries with the weakest capacity to withstand an escalation of the virus. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/20/swine-
“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.
While health ministers are crying for more funding, Health Canada has taken to educate it’s citizens. This flyer was sent to every citizen in Ontario, Canada http://snardfarker.ning.com/profiles/blogs/this-flyer-was-sent-to-every outlining H1N1 precautions.
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/15/health/12flu.html?_r=1 says Swine Flu Vaccine Will Be Too Late to Prevent Pandemic, Experts Say.
Several prominent epidemiologists are warning that even though the new swine flu vaccine works much better than expected, it will still come too late to blunt the peak of this season’s pandemic. The epidemiologists said Friday that they expected the peak to come as early as next month, long before enough vaccine to protect all 159 million Americans who need it most will be ready.
In any event, most cases are expected to be mild. The virus has not changed significantly since the spring and, while a few cases of strains resistant to the antiviral drug Tamiflu have been detected, they have not yet become widespread.
A lot of tax payer money is being spent on this whole Flu debacle. Making record breaking profits, unless we see an ‘official’ vaccine disaster as in the previous Swine Flu, will be the pharmaceutical companies. Why doesn’t WHO ask them for money and vaccines?
The U.S. and wealthy nations ship food and aid to poor countries all of the time. There is a history of not getting things into the hands of the people that are most in need. Foreign aid trucks get abducted and I would suspect medical supplies for the flu would be no different. As for WHO claiming anarchy- where? Like in Darfur where the last thing on any one’s mind is a flu shot. I pity the poorest, but the money an effort would be well spent in other ways.
WHO apparently fails to realize it that the preventable malaria campaign isn’t working, and millions die every year from a fully preventable disease.
I’d just assume we don’t make an ass out of u n me and send vaccines to people who have no idea what they are being vaccinated for or against. I could say the same for the wealthiest citizen nations of the world as well.
Conspiracy theory can sometimes be triggered by real world events.
Open wide, say ahhh and check out these posts on the A/H1N1 Swine Flu from Ahrcanum, where the conspiracy spreads as fast as the virus itself.https://ahrcanum.wordpress.com/swine-flu-report/

Just wish to say your article is as astonishing. The clarity in your put up is just spectacular and that i could think you’re an expert
on this subject. Well with your permission let me to grab your feed to stay updated with coming near near post.
Thank you 1,000,000 and please continue the rewarding work.
I really like what you guys are usually up too. This kind of clever work and exposure!
Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve included you guys to
our blogroll.

The WHO has lots its marbles when every H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine in the US warns on its patient inserts that the shot has not been tested on pregnant or lactating women and there are NO STUDIES on fertility.
Ok, we really need to get a grip and wake up from our mass hypnosis here. Do you ever wonder why vaccines make people sick, induce life-long disabilities, and can *cause the disease* they are allegedly trying to prevent?
For crying out loud. Even public health agencies have admitted that the flu vaccine *does not* lower your chances of getting the flu. Take all the hype, all the disinformation away, and we’re left with this: vaccines are simply not effective, and they inflict massive amounts of harm. Despite the army of disinfo agents, this is becoming public knowledge, just like the acknowledgment that this summer’s polio surge in Nigeria was caused by the vaccine itself: (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2009-08-14-nigeria-polio_N.htm)
Just a few of the dozens of horrid substances that vaccine-pushers have admitted to including in public vaccines:
– Aborted human fetal tissue (ie. disposed-of human babies);
– Aluminum hydroxide/phosphate (linked to causing Alzheimer’s disease);
– Animal tissues incl horse/pig blood, rabbit brain, dog/monkey kidney, chick/duck embryo, pig pancreatic hydrolysate of casein (animal tissues are a causal element for all the various auto-immune diseases associated with vaccination);
– Formalin (contains formaldehyde);
– Gelatin (obtained from selected pieces of calf & cattle skin);
– Glutaraldehyde (industrial water treatment chemical);
– Monosodium glutamate (MSG) (an excitotoxin, now known to cause cancer in humans, also linked to obesity);
– Thimerosal ie. mercury (a neurotoxin linked to so many diseases it’s astonishing);
– VERO cells (a continuous line of monkey kidney cells – linked SV-40 virus known to cause leukemia)
We have no idea how much worse the ‘h1n1’ vaccine will be, especially if they are going to this length of sheer nonsense and induce mass hysteria to sell you on it.
Please, for your own good: turn off the idiot box, let go of fear & EDUCATE YOURSELF. The pharma-industrial-military complex have been systematically dumbing down human beings for decades.
thanks
Your information is very helpful
Pregnant women at higher risk
Pregnant women are at higher risk from swine flu and the problem will be worse in poor countries with weak health systems, WHO chief Margaret Chan Fung Fu-chun warned.
“Evidence from all outbreak sites confirms that pregnant women are at increased risk of severe or fatal infection,” Chan told a meeting of the WHO Western Pacific region yesterday. “This increased risk becomes all the more important for a virus, like this one, that preferentially affects a young age group.”
The 30-to-50 age group develops severe pneumonia, she said.
Chan said the deaths of pregnant women during the pandemic will be “tragic everywhere, but most especially so in the developing world, where the numbers will be so much higher.”

The WHO has recommended that pregnant women be vaccinated as a top priority after frontline workers.
Chan also told member states that “evidence is growing that antiviral drugs [such as Tamiflu] can reduce the risk of severe disease.”
She urged doctors to use Tamiflu as early as possible – even without waiting for confirmatory tests for pandemic flu especially for high-risk groups such as pregnant women, the chronically ill, and those 30 to 50.
Hong Kong Director of Health Lam Ping-yan, who was yesterday elected as chairman of the 60th regional meeting, told reporters earlier that the Centre for Health Protection has come out with guidance for early Tamiflu treatment.
Meanwhile, a 37-year-old previously healthy man died from H1N1 yesterday at Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital in Tai Po, after a 16-day battle for life.
His death takes the toll to 16 so far.
Eight primary and three secondary schools suspended classes for seven days to stop the spread of H1N1 following outbreaks involving 824 students aged between six and 17. Hong Kong had a total of 22,500 confirmed H1N1 cases by yesterday.
