UN: ‘Pandemic may result in anarchy unless western world pays for antiviral drugs and vaccines’
(Guardian)
The swine flu pandemic could kill millions and cause anarchy in the world’s poorest nations unless £900m can be raised from rich countries to pay for vaccines and antiviral medicines, says a UN report leaked to the Observer.
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.
Gregory Hartl of WHO said the report required an urgent response from rich nations. “There needs to be recognition that the whole world is affected by this pandemic and the chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We have seen how H1N1 has taken hold in richer nations and in the southern hemisphere. We have been given fair warning and must act soon,” he said.
The report was drawn up by UN officials over the last two months. It was commissioned in July after Ban ki-moon, the UN’s secretary general, expressed concern that the H1NI virus could have a severe impact on the world’s poorest countries.
It paints a disastrous picture for the world’s most vulnerable people unless there is immediate action. “There is a window in which it will be possible to help poor countries get as ready as they can for H1N1 and that window is closing rapidly,” it says.
“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.
“If suppliers of fuel, food, telecommunications, finance or transport services have not developed plans as to how they would continue to deliver their services, the consequences could be significantly intensified,” it adds.
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. Six countries from Latin America, including Cuba and Bolivia, 21 countries from Asia and the Pacific such as North Korea and Bangladesh, and 40 countries from Africa such as Congo and Eritrea are included in the survey.
UN officials say in the report that £700m should be spent on antiviral drugs and vaccines to protect health care workers and other essential personnel as well as cover those suffering from severe illness. They have identified 85 countries that do not have the ability to access vaccines from any other source and intend to cover 5-10% of each population.
A further £147m should be put aside to organise vaccine campaigns, improve communications, monitor levels of illness and improve laboratory capacity in 61 countries, the report claims. The remainder should be used to pay for the WHO and other UN-related organisations to help in these countries as well as an emergency fund for additional antiviral medicines, it argues.
The UN’s efforts were boosted last week when nine countries, including Britain and the US, pledged to give the equivalent of a 10% share of their swine flu vaccine supply to help fight the deadly virus’s global spread. In Britain, Douglas Alexander, the development secretary, pledged to give £23m.
Some officials within WHO believe, however, that this will not be enough One said that richer countries were reluctant to pay out all of the money that was needed. “The downturn means that governments countries are reluctant to give,” he said.
Another said: “The money is a trickle, not a flood. It is going to be a struggle. If we are not careful, the virus could destroy a burgeoning economy or democracy.”
The UN’s request for the money comes as the virus begins to establish itself in some of the world’s most vulnerable countries. On Wednesday, health officials told one website that the African continent had recorded 8,187 confirmed cases of swine flu and 41 deaths.
Swine flu was declared a pandemic in June and has since been identified in 180 countries. Pandemic experts believe that the western world, including Britain, is facing a second wave of the virus.

May, could, possibly, we believe….blah blah blah.
Who from hell is the World Health Org.
to tell anyone what may, could be etc etc? We MUST act now they say.
Sounds like Bush is running thing over there! – LOL -
Scientists have been “fearing” for many decades now that “Maybe, possilbly”, a chance that some large meteorite “could”, “may”, “possibly” in the future collide with planet earth and devistation could be in the billions of lives as we know it. WOW!
Doesn’t that scare the life out of you everyone reading this? I mean we must be shuddering and shaking all over, and something must be done NOW to keep this from happening so let us donate our money ( through taxes of course ) so as to find a means to keep this terrible thing from possibly happening.
Bull Sh#t …..all of this crap is pure Bull Sh#t
Uphold our Constitution in every manner or get the hell out of our lives and out of our way!
We have had it with all of you!

yep, ….knew it had something to do with money….. mine and how they want it! Really the world’s elite are beginning to sound like really sleazy car salesmen, ( WE ARE IN A ———- EMERGENCY, WE MUST MAKE DECISIONS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD, GIVE US YOUR MONEY FOR WE MUST DECIDE HOW IT WILL BE SPENT, TRUST US IT WILL BE FOR A GOOD CAUSE.) No, wait , they sound like those slimy false preachers who cook up a cause that they need for you to send them your money so they can fix it. Why are these people not hanging from the gallows? We know who they are.

I seriously doubt that large populations that have managed to avoid mass vaccinations will experience dramatic mass kills or serious sickness spreads…
However if killer strains are secretly dispersed there would be massive pandemonium…
Likely also independent researchers would at least be able to identify the deadly strains, perhaps also deduce if the killer strains were “weaponized” or manmade. All this sould cause extreme reactions amongst vaccinated and unvaccinated alike (in rich or poor countries)…
So spreading the vaccinations worldwide is just a convenient way of setting up world-wide plausible deniability and outbreak alibis (imo).

they have killed a lot of the key scientists who understand these structures, maybe why they did some think, they weren’t ‘on-board’

Quite right…
With the ingrained trust of authoritarian symbols, and “denial attitudes” of the general public (in all countries)–impeccable, credentialed “whistleblowers” would be necessary to quickly and effectively alarm the general public (imo).

P.S. ….. Someone needs to tell them that thanks to Bush, Ben Bernanke, Clinton, Obama, Rockefellers, Fords, Kelloggs, and all of the Godless, gutless devils in CONgress and the SINate that America is no longer a rich country. We now have the economy of Uruguay.

Actually, Uruguayan’s are much better off, their government is not building concentration camps to imprison and kill their own citizens.

Wow, what a load of crap, I see this reverse pycho going on a lot, people clamoring for maiming poisons? Practicing riot control to keep people from breaking intot avaccine distributionh centers (saw on Yoiutube)How hoodwinked are we as a planet?
Vaccines are nuts after even just a little research, And these NAZI CoDEX FREAKS buncha PILL PUSHIN and Vaccine makers stand to make billions. and billions more from the future illness from the toxic jabs.
Kinda like job security. Kinda like the war on drugs, they bring in much of the dope and then fill the prisons they built.

I wonder if the UN-monarchs know how much 12 trillion dollars is? I know the American citizen cannot fathoms the idea or value of, but I have a suspicion that they know we just do not have any more credit–as a nation.

Anarchy and tribal living.
Be ready. We dont need government. We can govern ourselves without interference from some group of bureaucratic lying traitors. You are as free as you choose to be.
Our non cooperation is the first thing they shall feel.

If the UN & WHO are so concerned about the “poorer” countries, why don’t they give them the meds and vaccines for free?
