(NaturalNews) A UN report leaked to The Observer claims that swine flu could "kill millions" of people in poor nations and cause a total breakdown of society unless wealthy nations come up with US$1.5 billion to pay for pandemic vaccines and anti-viral drugs. It warns that the fragile economies of developing nations could be completely destroyed by the breakdown of social services, infrastructure and medical care.
The report specifically says:
"Countries where health services are overburdened by diseases, such as HIV/Aids, tuberculosis and malaria, will have great difficulty managing the surge of cases. And if the electricity and water sectors are not able to maintain services, this will have serious implications for the ability of the health sector to function. ...If suppliers of fuel, food, telecommunications, finance or transport services have not developed plans as to how they would continue to deliver their services, the consequences could be significantly intensified."
This UN report identifies 75 countries that remain vulnerable to this chaos scenario: 6 nations in South America, 21 nations from Asia and 40 in Africa. The only way to prevent the possible collapse of these nations, the report says, is for this $1.5 billion to be spent on vaccines and anti-viral drugs.
There is no mention in the report of teaching the citizens of poor nations how to use their own local indigenous medicine, or how to get more vitamin D from sunlight, or even how to boost their immune system health through dietary changes. The suggestions of the entire report come down to just two things: Vaccines and anti-viral drugs.
Just another UN medical scamSo what's the real story behind all this? All be blunt: In my opinion, this report is just another Big Pharma scam. It's designed to scare people into sending even more money to the drug companies to buy their drugs and vaccines. The threat of the "complete collapse" of these poorer nations is designed to leverage first-world fear to motivate these nations to spend more money on precisely the things that make the pharmaceutical industry wealthy.
There's no doubt that the citizens of poor nations need help improving their health, but that should be accomplished through education and the use of local medicinal plants, not through the chemical intervention of greedy corporations from first-world nations. The last thing the people of poor nations need is yet another imperialist band of profit-minded corporations telling them to get injected.
Haven't we already learned what happens when drug companies are allowed to exploit the people of poor nations? Pfizer, for example, exploited the children of Nigeria to run illegal drug experiments (http://www.naturalnews.com/026685_P...). This cost the drug company $75 million in a class action settlement, and it cemented the company's reputation as an evil killer in the minds of many.
It's obvious to the leaders of such nations that drug companies have no interest in actually helping their people; they're only interested in exploiting them for profit. This UN scare story is just another first-world tactic to funnel yet more money to the drug companies who will only harm the populations of poor nations.
