H1N1 É O TIGRE DE PAPEL?


Vejam só o que está rolando no BMJ:

Drug companies are being accused of unnecessarily raising fears over the H1N1 swine flu virus so as to increase profits by boosting sales of their new vaccines.
The allegations, made in the parliamentary assembly of the Strasbourg based Council of Europe, are surfacing as several countries, notably the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, are looking to dispose of excess supplies of the unwanted vaccines (BMJ 2010;340:c170, 11 Jan, doi:10.1136/bmj.c170).

His charge: "To protect their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies have influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments." Meanwhile, the revelation of undeclared competing interests of Professor Juhani Eskola, an adviser to WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE), has come as a gift to conspiracy theorists. SAGE advises member states on vaccines; GlaxoSmithKline, manufacturer of Pandemrix, is the main source of income of Professor Eskola’s employ er (doi:10.1136/bmj.c201).

Hmm. Quem não assistiu àquele filme do Youtube feito por um argentino sobre a manipulação da "epidemia"? Aqui no Brasil, vamos ter a "sequela" do filme H1N1 em junho...
