Mr Coeur de Lion Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/xaoqcjIf anyone can tell me the gist, my hearing French is very, very bad.

Cat Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 The vaccination campaign should start mid October, that's when the 1st deliveries of the vaccine will be delivered (and then on-screen text saying that the 1st doses were delivered 27th August, from Baxter, and then a recorded phone interview saying that the doses did come from Baxter). Baxter (a pharmaceutical company) confirmed that they issued a product in February, accidentally contaminated with live H5N1 virus. It was a mixture of seasonal flu virus and H5N1. It was a sub-contractor that 1st realised the mistake, after ferrets that were injected with the vaccine died. EDIT, missed a bit: Baxter patented a method of producing viral vaccines, including swine flu vaccine in August 2008, and a provisional application was lodged a year earlier in August 2007. The first outbreak of identified swine flu in Mexico didn't occur until March 2009. The video asks why did Mme Bachelot (French minister of health) order the vaccine from Baxter in July? And also why the video "Danger, Baxter vaccine in France" was deleted from Dailymotion?The concern of the makers of the video is that a 2nd expected wave of outbreaks may be due to vaccinations themselves.The video mention that the facts are already known, and that a journalist, Helen Branswell, has published the information.
