The World Health Organization (WHO)
declared the Zika virus a global health emergency on Monday (February 1)
without providing much detail on the disease. So here are some facts
until we receive more information:
This sexually-transmitted virus
has been around for 69 years and is marketed by two companies: LGC
Standards (headquartered in the UK) and ATCC (headquartered in the US).
“…the UK’s designated National
Measurement Institute for chemical and bioanalytical measurements and an
international leader in the laboratory services, measurement standards,
reference materials, genomics and proficiency testing marketplaces.”
“…a leading global producer and
distributor of reference materials and proficiency testing schemes.
Headquartered in Teddington, Middlesex, UK, LGC Standards has a network
of dedicated sales offices extending across 20 countries in 5 continents
and more than 30 years experience in the distribution of reference
materials. These high quality products and services are essential for
accurate analytical measurement and quality control, ensuring sound
decisions are made based on reliable data. We have an unparalleled
breadth of ISO Guide 34 accredited reference material production in
facilities at 4 sites across the UK, the US and Germany.”
LGC Standards entered into a partnership with ATCC, of which the latter is:
“…the premier global biological
materials resource and standards organization whose mission focuses on
the acquisition, authentication, production, preservation, development,
and distribution of standard reference microorganisms, cell lines, and
other materials. While maintaining traditional collection materials,
ATCC develops high quality products, standards, and services to support
scientific research and breakthroughs that improve the health of global
populations.”
“…the distribution of ATCC cultures and
bioproducts to life science researchers throughout Europe, Africa, and
India and [...] to make access to the important resources of ATCC more
easily accessible to the European, African, and Indian scientific
communities through local stock holding of more than 5,000 individual
culture items supported by our local office network delivering the
highest levels of customer service and technical support.”
And who owns the patent on the virus? The Rockefeller Foundation!
Why has the issue of patent ownership of the Zika virus not been the object of media coverage?
Lest we forget the words of David Rockefeller in an address to a Trilateral Commission meeting in June of 1991:
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York
Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have
attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for
almost 40 years. … It would have been impossible for us to develop our
plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity
during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to
march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an
intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the
national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”
Is the ownership of the Zika Virus by the Rockefeller Foundation part
of that agenda of “supernational sovereignty [dominated] by an
intellectual elite and world bankers…”?
Of significance, the Zika virus is a commodity which can be purchased
online from the ATCC-LGC for 599 euros, with royalties accruing to the
Rockefeller Foundation.
