Joao Paulo Esperanca «Report: WHO overstated H1N1 threat
Links between WHO experts and drug firms that profited from H1N1 pandemic under scrutiny.
5 Jun 2010
A joint report into the handling of the H1N1 outbreak has found that some scientists who advised governments to stockpile drugs, had previously been on the payroll of big drug companies.
The report, published in the British Medical Journal, found World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines on the use of medicine to treat the virus were prepared by experts who had received consulting fees from the top two manufacturers of the drugs – Roche and GlaxoSmithKline.
The WHO’s decision to name the flu a “pandemic” is also coming under scrutiny from European investigators, and stands accused of exaggerating the dangers of the H1N1 outbreak, which emerged in April last year.
Laboratory tests have confirmed more than 18,000 deaths from H1N1 infection, according to WHO figures, but the virus has turned out to be less deadly than feared.
Also, symptoms suffered by most people infected with the virus have been mild.
‘Exaggerated scare story’
A report by the Council of Europe, also released on Friday, accused the WHO of a lack of transparency over the pandemic announcement – saying it wasted huge sums of money and provoked “unjustified fears”.
Paul Flynn, the author of the report, told Al Jazeera that the WHO warnings were “exaggeration on stilts”.
“The WHO changed the definition of the most serious pandemic for one that would include the possibility of a tremendous amount of deaths to one that wouldn’t include that severity … and this is extraordinary.
“[The] announcement caused the world press to go into hysteria and tell people that we’re going to see a plague like the 1918 one.
“There was never any scientific evidence to justify this exaggerated scare story.
“They frightened the world witless about this and caused this vast expense and disruption of health services,” he said.
‘Saving lives’
But Gregory Hartl, a WHO spokesman in Geneva, said the organisation does not believe any undue influence was exerted on its work.
“In April 2009, we knew very little about [this new virus] and our duty was a duty of care to save lives,” he told Al Jazeera.
“So we were helping member states prepare for outcomes that were unknown at the time. We were lucky that afterwards the virus showed itself to be much milder than it was initially thought it could have been.
“Remember what would have happened had WHO and the world done nothing, and it turned out to be a virus on the scale of mortality of bird flu.”
The WHO initially urged rapid development of treatments and vaccines, fearing the virus had the potential to kill millions.
As a result wealthy countries spent billions on medicines which many believe are now unnecessary.
Across Europe, governments are now trying to resell their stockpiles of swine flu vaccine.
Emergency committee
An emergency committee of the WHO has been waiting for signs of how the virus is developing in the southern hemisphere winter before making a full pronouncement on its state.
The committee, composed of 15 external advisers, believes it is critical for countries to maintain vigilance concerning the pandemic, including necessary public-health measures for disease control and surveillance, Margaret Chan, the WHO director-general, has said in a statement.
Chan said that pandemic flu activity was expected to continue, and the committee would meet again by mid-July to review the status of the outbreak once more data from the winter influenza season in the southern hemisphere was available.
The panel met on Tuesday, but Chan delayed any announcement until Thursday as the committee, whose members were spread around the world for the meeting by teleconference, put the final touches to the wording of their recommendation.
Chan’s decision, based on the committee’s recommendation, means that the outbreak, widely known as swine flu, remains at phase six on the WHO’s pandemic scale, which has been at the top level of six since June 2009.
‘Profound misjudment’
WHO experts say the virus remains a threat to some vulnerable people, notably pregnant women, young children and those with respiratory problems, and such groups would continue to need vaccinations.
Fiona Godlee, the editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal (BMJ), told Al Jazeera the findings were “not surprising” but that the public should be “shocked by this”.
“This was a major decision that affected governments around the world, vast sums of public money and private profit, and we need to really understand exactly the extent to which WHO’s advice was influenced by the pharmaceutical industry,” she said.
“The investigation by the BMJ suggests that there was substantial influence at a number of key stages in the declaration of the pandemic, the definition of the pandemic, the triggering of vaccine contracts around the world and advice to government to stockpile large numbers of expensive antiviral drugs.
“The extent of misjudgment was really very profound in this case.”
But WHO experts maintain that the HIN1 virus could spread easily among people if it were to mutate into a more dangerous or lethal form.
The virus is currently most active in parts of the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, and activity in Africa is low or sporadic.»

A OMS FOI PRIVATIZADA…SAIBA POR QUEM

“A OMS foi privatizada, o financiamento privado condiciona as suas decisões”(…)
“O problema das doações VOLUNTÁRIAS é que é o doador quem decide o destino do seu dinheiro, para que ele escape das deliberações e da formulação de prioridades estabelecidas por todos os países do mundo.
Para ter uma ideia, mais de 80% do orçamento da OMS são contribuições privadas ou públicas, mas são VOLUNTÁRIAS, concentradas em diferentes países, na Fundação Bill Gates e na indústria farmacêutica”(…)
“90% do Programa de Medicamentos [que tinha sido dirigido por Germán Velásquez] agora é financiado pela Fundação Bill & Melinda Gates, eles estão a fornecer o dinheiro apenas para os assuntos que interessam a Bill Gates, de forma a que o programa apenas se concentre nos projetos para os quais ele tem dinheiro, o restante permanece no papel”.

sábado furacão Paulette aponta aos Açores

Embora o furacão “Paulette” ainda se encontre a uma considerável distância dos Açores, de ontem para hoje o National Hurricane Center (NHC) actualizou a sua trajectória, estimando-se agora que se aproxime muito mais do nosso arquipélago do que fora inicialmente previsto.
Neste contexto, a mais recente previsão do NHC projecta a possibilidade do “Paulette” se encontrar, na madrugada do próximo Sábado, a uma distância aproximada de 300 km a NO do Grupo Ocidental, sendo importan…

Embora o furacão “Paulette” ainda se encontre a uma considerável distância dos Açores, de ontem para hoje o National Hurricane Center (NHC) actualizou a sua trajectória, estimando-se agora que se aproxime muito mais do nosso arquipélago do que fora inicialmente previsto.
Neste contexto, a mais recente previsão do NHC projecta a possibilidade do “Paulette” se encontrar, na madrugada do próximo Sábado, a uma distância aproximada de 300 km a NO do Grupo Ocidental, sendo importante relevar que, relativamente a esta estimativa, existe uma significativa margem de erro, da ordem dos 250 km.
A súbita mudança de trajectória, com orientação de SSE, deverá ocorrer na próxima sexta-feira, por influência de uma depressão em altitude que então estará formada.
Continuaremos atentos.

NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on five tropical cyclones located over the Atlantic basin on this Monday morning. This ties the record that was set in September 1971.
The tropical cylcones are Hurricane Paulette, located near Bermuda; Tropical Depression Rene, located over the central Atlantic; Tropical Storm Sally, centered over the north-central Gulf of Mexico; recently upgraded Tropical Storm Teddy, located over the east-central tropical Atlantic; and newly formed Tropical Depression Twenty-One, located over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
Elsewhere over the Atlantic basin, disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the western and southwestern Gulf of Mexico are associated with a weak area of low pressure. Development of this system is not expected due to strong upper-level winds while it moves slowly southwestward and then southward over the western Gulf of Mexico during the next few days. It has a low (10 percent) chance of formation during the next five days.
There’s a tropical wave near the west coast of Africa is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions appear to be conducive for slow development of the system this week as the wave moves westward at about 10 mph over the far eastern tropical Atlantic. It has a medium (40 percent) chance of formation during the next five days. www.hurricanes.gov
