Baxter, the US pharmaceutical giant, reached at least seven huge settlements over the past 12 months, some of them for millions of dollars. The company had been accused of fraud amid allegations that it had overpriced medicines by as much as 1,300%.

Baxter, isn't this the company that has a major lab located within 50 miles of where the swine flu first broke out?

The most telling point is that Baxter filed for a patent on H1N1 on August 28, 2008, almost a year before anyone ever heard of it. (end of April, May 2009)

Normal 0 0 1 141 809 SoulGate Foundation 6 1 993 10.2006 0 0 0 There is a lot of information in the media about swine flu. To the point of overwhelming. Although not necessarily untrue, it is limited in facts and worst of all – it’s presented grossly out of context. Harks of propaganda = presenting facts selectively, and using a loaded message to produce an emotional rather than rational response. Mr Obama seems to think that emergency rules will make it easier to handle anticipated surge in patients. Yes, after all that fear mongering, people are lining up for the jab. As a result, the swine flu panic is sweeping the world. Unfortunately, the biggest casualty of this corporate driven, politically supported media-manufactured hysteria is common sense. Some real facts for considerations at my blog, Consciousness [R]Evolution.My intention for this blog was always to pull the facts together to paint a broader context. You draw your own conclusions.
