 Ukraine's Pneumonic Plague: A New Strain of Flu Many Times More Lethal Than H1N1 Very good article

Joseph Moshe (MOSSAD Microbiologist): 'Swine Flu Vaccine is Bioweapon'

http://britanniaradio.blogspot.com/2009/10/whats-really-happening-in-ukraine.html

'Professor Moshe had called into a live radio show by Dr. True Ott, broadcast on

Republic Broadcasting claiming to be a microbiologist who wanted to supply

evidence to a States Attorney regarding tainted H1N1 Swine flu vaccines being

produced by Baxter BioPharma Solutions. He said that Baxter’s Ukrainian lab

was in fact producing a bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. He claimed that the

vaccine contained an adjuvant (additive) designed to weaken the immune system,

and replicated RNA from the virus responsible for the 1918 pandemic Spanish flu,

causing global sickness and mass death.'

Why are there so many deaths and infections in Ukraine?

Is it the plague? A mutated virus? Or is the plague the cover for introducing a mutated virus? More on the Ukrainian puzzle

The first deputy minister of Health in Ukraine said in a statement that they have a

different h1n1 swine flu than the rest of the world and US. In 6 days 500 000 people

have been infected, 93 confirmed deaths. Statements from a lot of departments and

officials seem to disagree but the fact is that if this is the h1n1 it might of either

mutated or this is another swine flu strain.

The reason for this is obviously as stated above and that the strain in the Ukraine

has a much bigger rate of filling the lungs with blood. This can be blamed on lack

of public health but according to sources this is not the case. The plague or virus

in the Ukraine has 10 times the mortality rate than the normal swine flu.

In a paper published in microbiology news called resurrecting influenza pandemic

strains. The author recognized 5 strains of weaponized flu.

Confirmation that this is a mutated version: (or not a mutation of h1n1 but a viral

pneumonia which is something different)

1.  250 000 to 500 000 infected in one day, way faster than any other country

the h1n1 has been

2. Many cases of viral pneumonia where the lungs fill with blood,  a much higher

viral pneumonia rate than any other country

3. Ukraine Health minister said himself that "swine flu has mutated"

4. Much bigger death rate than normal

On the ground though, unconfirmed reports say that people are going on as normal,

they also say that this is fear mongering. (speaking to locals)

WHO needs to confirm that the genes have are different, if they are not that means

the swine flu has not mutated.

Everyone is waiting for the gene sequences which will confirm whether this has been

hyped up, a real mutated h1n1 or just bad health services in the Ukraine.

Update 1.

Please note. The h1n1 and the viral pneumonic plague is two different things. What we

are saying is that either the h1n1 has mutated OR there is a viral pneumonic outbreak

at the same scale of the h1n1.

There are now as of time of writing 871,037 Influenza/ARI Cases over the Ukraine,

39,603 has been hospitalized and 135 people have died. We cant say home many

of those people are affected with which, either h1n1 or the pneumonic plague or

something else because it still remains unclear.

Ukraine remains in a state of Emergency.

Has Baxter International released a biological weapon?
Evidence appears to suggest that Baxter International is responsible for a new deadly outbreak of viral pneumonia in Ukraine.

Moshe claimed that Baxter's laboratory in the Ukraine out of all places was creating this biological weapon. All of this came out in the beginning of August, which is more than 2 months before the situation that is currently unfolding. For Moshe to correctly name the country where a new epidemic would be unleashed, requires either inside information, or an incredible coincidence as anyone with a basic knowledge of statistics can confirm for himself.

WHO is calling it H1N1, however, there seems to be mutations present.

'Don't know what caused the deaths'

Doctors at Sassoon Hospital, who are in the thick of the swine flu battle, are a worried lot. Thirty-five patients with swine flu-like symptoms died in the last 45 days at the hospital, and not one of them tested positive for swine flu. The doctors still don't know what caused the death of these patients.

So there are now three areas of the outbreak. Ukraine, Romania, and India.

Update: Ebola-Like Virus Pandemic in Ukraine

...The more severe manifestation of ARI, Acute Respiratory Infection in the Ukrainian cases are clearly defined as a hemorrhagic disease that fills lungs with blood and produces bleeding at all orifices, a stark reminder of 1918 pandemic cases which reportedly were also linked to the swine H1N1. The ARI disease exhibits symptoms very similar to the ebola virus of which the family Filoviridae is responsible for severe and often fatal viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in primates, gorillas, chimpanzees, humans, and domestic pigs.

Clusters of Hemorrhagic H1N1 Pneumonia in Ukraine


Saturday, 07 November 2009 09:01

Recombinomics Commentary 11:54
November 4, 2009

Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast

All the six dead young people had symptoms of severe hemmorhagic pneumonia. The disease starts slowly, with temperature rising to 37.2 - 37.3 degrees, slight cough and pain in joints. Nasal catarrh developed at the end of the second or third day. Autopsy revealed that the lungs were soaked with blood, the oblast chief specialist said.

The above comments are from an early story describing cases in Ukraine. The clustering of hemorrhagic cases raised concerns. The concern was increased by anecdotal reports citing a high frequency of such cases in Lviv (see map). The recent WHO announcement that they were initially focusing of severe acute respiratory illness in Lviv also increased concerns.

Hemorrhagic pneumonia was also observed in the 1918 pandemic and was thought to be linked to cytokine storm. Consequently, those with robust immune systems (previously health young adults) disproportionately died, which has also been seen in the current outbreak (Mexico, US, and worldwide). However, the cases in Ukraine appear to be clustered, raising concerns that the virus has changed.

However, the change may be minor, since the current H1N1 has produced the above symptoms in earlier cases. More severe cases may be linked to a higher viral load, which could be linked to minor genetic changes, or simply due to concentration of virus in schools. In the US the spread of the virus has been linked to school openings, which lead to an explosion of cases and subsequent student deaths. However, now there are increases in fatalities in teachers and administrators, increasing concerns worldwide.

In Ukraine, weather changes and heating issues may have led to a surge in cases, and increased concentrations of virus could have produced conditions favoring high viral loads and increased cytokine storms.

Samples have been sent to Mill Hill, and sequence data should be released shortly. Similarly, investigations on hemorrhagic pneumonia in lviv should help resolve the mechanism for the high concentration of such cases in western Ukraine.

However, H1N1 spread in Kiev has been noted, and other countries such as Belarus have announced additional H1N1 suspect or confirmed fatalities.

Sequence analysis of these cases and an update on the frequency of hemorrhagic pneumonia in Ukraine and worldwide would be useful.

Suspected Hemorrhagic Pneumonia Outbreak Hits Ukraine

by Stephen Lendman / November 12th, 2009 (0)

On October 29, the Australian web site zik.com.ua reported that:

“Western Ukraine was hit by a severe epidemic of unidentified influenza, tentatively diagnosed by doctors as viral pneumonia. The number of dead has climbed dramatically. Doctors advise Western Ukrainians to stay home and use preventive medicine.”

On October 30, Jane Burgermeister’s theflu.com reported that:

“More than 30 people have died in the Ukraine as a result of a mysterious new virus that has an affinity for the lungs,” according to Swiss reports. Ukraine’s Health Ministry said the virus’ origin is unknown and showed “no signs of mutating to become more virulent.” So far, …

A million infected in Ukraine flu epidemic: minister
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5igljlXmqY49TbADWAZteRNljNEnQ

(NaturalNews) Here's what we know with some degree of certainty about the H1N1 virus in Ukraine right now: nearly 300 people have died from the viral strain, and over 65,000 people have been hospitalized (the actual numbers are increasing by the hour). The virus appears to be either a highly aggressive mutation of the globally-circulating H1N1 strain, or a combination of three different influenza strains now circulating in Ukraine. Some observers suspect this new "super flu" might be labeled viral hemorrhagic pneumonia (meaning it destroys lung tissue until your lungs bleed so much that you drown in your own fluid), but that has not been confirmed by any official sources we're aware of.

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has issued emergency quarantine orders for nine of the country's regions and ordered the deployment of mobile military hospitals. He announced that the nation had been simultaneously hit with two different seasonal flu strains plus H1N1 -- and then hinted that all three might have recombined into the deadly new Ukrainian super flu.

In his own words, as reported by Daily Mail, "Unlike similar epidemics in other countries, three causes of serious viral infections came together simultaneously in Ukraine: two seasonal flus and the Californian flu. Virologists conclude that this combination of infections may produce an even more aggressive new virus as a result of mutation."

On November 6, Ukraine's Deputy Health Minister Zinovy Mytnyk announced that over 600,000 citizens had already caught the new flu. British scientists are now conducting tests on the new viral strain to find out why it appears to be so deadly (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/wor...).

The mainstream media is blaming Ukraine's poor health care system for the relatively high rates of hospitalization and death (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/14/w...), but they refuse to mention (yet again) the vitamin D deficiency found across this population living at high latitude in the winter, where sunlight is relatively scarce.

Here's a useful blog for staying up to date on the Ukrainian plague:
http://ukraineplague.blogspot.com/

What we don't knowNow here's what we don't know about the Ukraine outbreak:

What is the actual genetic composition of this mutated strain?

Scientists have not released any meaningful news about the genetic sequence of the Ukraine strain. For the moment, the WHO is somewhat quiet on the matter. The last WHO update was from November 3 (and the situation has become considerably worse since). (http://www.who.int/csr/don/2009_11_...).

Was this viral strain released as a bioweapon?

There are numerous reports circulating widely across the 'net that cite aerial spraying across Kiev in the days before the new "super flu" outbreak. People are speculating that this was a bioweapon attack intentionally unleashed upon the Ukrainian population. So far, NaturalNews can find no credible information supporting this theory, but it remains a possibility to be researched further.

Ukraine’s Flu Mess

Media there is reporting 299 people dead so far and nearly 80,000 hospitalized.

from wiki:Pneumonic plague is one of three main forms of plague, all of which are caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is more virulent and rarer than bubonic plague. The difference between the versions of plague is simply the location of the infection. Pneumonic plague is an infection in the lung(s), bubonic plague is an infection of the buboes or lymph nodes, while septicemic plague is an infection in the blood stream. Typically, pneumonic form is due to a secondary spread from advanced infection of an initial bubonic form. Primary pneumonic plague results from inhalation of fine infective droplets and can be transmitted from human to human without involvement of fleas or animals. Untreated pneumonic plague has a very high fatality rate.

Norwegian scientists raise concerns about mutated form of swine flu

Scientists in Norway have identified a mutated form of the swine flu virus that is raising concern because it was found in two patients who died of the flu and a third who was severely ill with the disease, officials announced Friday.
In a statement, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said the mutation "could possibly make the virus more prone to infect deeper in the airways and thus cause more severe disease," such as pneumonia.
