WHO officer in China helps to hide bird flu?
(Mar. 08, 2006) Boxun published a message sent by anonymous person(full text in Chinese), it says that WHO officer in China received bribery and help China government to hide the seriousness of bird flu in China.
Boxun claims that it cannot confirm the information at the beginning of the publishment, then publishes its full contents as it received.
It mentioned that WHO received dead birds (sample) in 2005, and WHO officer released the person's name to government. It said that two persons were executed in February 27 2006.
The message says bird flu has caused 820 deaths in China since summer 2005.
Note by Boxun editor:
One public clue may help understand the situation: the WHO officer in China supported and agreed the official data release by China government. While the scientist in Hong Kong - Guan Yi denied the official data with many solid evidences. In theory, WHO officer in China should have more direct information than a scientist in Hong Kong.
As the biggest citizen journalism site in Chinese, Boxun is largely supported by volunteers, and we do not have the resources to translate its full contents. The quality of translation is also problematic (sometime). Please understand us. (boxun.com)
Semper Hmmmm....
I've read other stuff about this.
Another couple of points are:
WHO has not tested everyone who might have had H5N1. Reasons? Remote villages, bodies buried or otherwise disposed of before any samples taken, and this one - if the sick or dead person had not had any contact with poulty/birds, it wasn't bird flu so they didn't test. Add to that the fact that some tests were initially negative and later positive, and some may not have been re-tested after initial neg. I read that regular flu shows up in nasal and throat swabs, but H5N1 is not at those sites after a few days, goes down into the lungs. Which often can only be found out with an autopsy.
(If anyone has it more accurately, correct me and ping me!)
WHO people being compromised by bribery is not a shocker either. Anything in connection with the UN is larded with crap.
Hmmmm indeed. I hope they are incorrect, but it won't surprise me if they are right.
