Tamiflu, Donald Rumsfeld and the business of the fear

 

3 Sea 2006 - It was enough that the United States touched the alarm bell so that the world shook of fear before the perspective of a pandemic. Although nine years have passed since the famous virus of the bird influenza was detected in Vietnam and the mortal victims still do not reach one hundred. An average one then of eleven deaths to the year… anywhere in the world! An insignificant detail that did not prevent to George Bush to undertake his second “preventive war” in just a short time, this time to fight against another weapon of as vaporous massive destruction as “found” in Iraq: virus H5N1.

 

After all it had also found a powerful “preventive weapon”, a called antiviral Tamiflu that commercialized the Swiss company Roche and who in hardly days became the hen of gold eggs. In fact, the income by their sale happened of 254 million in the 2004 to more than 1,000 million in the 2005. And its ceiling unforseeable is given the grotesca reaction of the western governments with massive requests of the product. The reality, nevertheless, is that the effectiveness of the Tamiflu is questioned by great part of the scientific community. Many are wondered how it hopes that it can serve before a mutant virus when as soon as it alleviates some symptoms - and not always as the current influenza. Obvious the answer to the protagonism of the Tamiflu in our lives is not purely commercial scientist but.

 

The Tamiflu was until 1996 property of Gilead Inc. Sciences company that that year sold the patent to the laboratories Roche. And knows who was then its president? Then the present Secretary of Defense of the United States, Donald Rumsfeld, who still today continues being one of his main shareholders. And remembers that it spent the year last? Since as soon as he began to be spoken of the bird influenza Gilead Inc. Sciences wanted to recover the Tamiflu alleging that Roche did not deliver attacks sufficient to make it and to commercialize it. And which it had “force” to obtain demonstrates it to it that both companies seated “to negotiate” and decided in a time record to constitute two joint committees, one that was in charge to coordinate the world-wide manufacture of the drug and to decide on the authorization to third making it and other to coordinate the commercialization of the seasonal sales in the most important markets, including the United States. In addition Roche paid to Gilead Inc. Sciences retroactive exemptions by value of 62.5 million dollars.

 

And to top it all the North American company remained with other 18.2 million dollars extra by sales superior to the entered ones between 2001 and 2003. To which there is to add a data: Roche has remained with 90% of the world-wide production of starred anise, tree that grows fundamentally in China - although also it is in Laos and Malaysia and that are the base of the Tamiflu. The scene, what it doubts fits, was complete. It was only necessary to begin little by little to find birds infected with the virus in different countries - a bird here, another pair to create world-wide alarm with the aid of scientists and little scrupulous politicians more there or little intellectual capacity and the great mass media - who as everybody knows not indeed characterize to investigate what they publish or they emit. And what has to do Donald Rumsfeld in all this? Then absolutely nothing. According to an official notice emitted the past month of October by the Pentagon the present North American Secretary of State did not take part in the decisions that the Government took from his friends Bush - the president and Cheney - the vice-president on the preventive measures who was to adopt before the pandemic threat. The official notice affirms that it abstained, that did not have anything to do in the decision of the American Administration to support and to advise the use of the Tamiflu to world-wide level. And we create to him. Like when he assured solemnly that in Iraq there were arms of massive destruction. In addition the fact that its name appears united to a massive vaccination against a supposed influenza of the pig during the Administration of Gerald Ford in the decade of the 70 - that it gave like result more than 50 died because of the indirect effect is not more than a coincidence. As it is it that the FDA approved aspartamo to the three months of which Rumsfeld got up to the Cabinet of Ronald Reagan although after ten years of studies any decision had not been taken.

 

The paper of the Vistide

Only somebody very badly thought can consider that it had something to see the fact that shortly before getting up itself to the North American Government Rumsfeld he was the president of the manufacturing laboratory of aspartamo. And, by all means, it did not have anything either to do with the purchase after 11-S of the Vistide, drug acquired massively by the Pentagon to avoid the indirect effect that could produce the vaccine of the smallpox between the North American soldiers to whom it was applied to them massively before sending them to Iraq. That the Vistide was also a product of the laboratories Gilead Inc. Sciences, creative of the Tamiflu, is another coincidence. So you all the information close by follow that still are going to occur on the bird influenza and it fills its homemade medicine kit of Tamiflu. And if there is to buy something more, it is bought. It lacked more.
