(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 (

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/world/europe/14flu.html?_r=2), 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 know
Now 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_03/en/index.html).
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.
Does Baxter Pharmaceuticals have anything to do with the outbreak?You may recall that earlier this year, Baxter shipped live avian flu viral material to labs in 18 countries, including one in the Ukraine. (
http://www.naturalnews.com/025760.html) There is suspicion that Baxter could be tied to a planned outbreak of a weaponized virus as a population control bioweapon of some sort, but NaturalNews has not been unable to find any credible information sources supporting this theory. Lacking any better leads on this subject, as far as we can tell right now this remains an unproven
conspiracy theory. (If anyone has more credible info on this, please send it our way for review.)
It is
plausible that Baxter had something to do with this, but we just don't have any convincing
evidence to back it up at this point.
H1N1 vaccines likely offer little protect against the Ukraine super flu
People receiving
H1N1 vaccine shots right now need to know that currently-available H1N1
vaccine shots may offer no
protection whatsoever against the "Ukraine Strain." That's because once the virus mutates, changing it genetic structure, it can instantly render all existing vaccines obsolete.
Depending on the degree of genetic changes, there is a possibility that
some level of immunity may be conferred to people who already have
H1N1 antibodies, but here's the dirty little secret the vaccine industry doesn't want you to know: People who built their own
natural immunity to H1N1 through
exposure rather than vaccines have a much greater likelihood of exhibiting
natural immunity to genetic variations of H1N1. In other words, people who overcame H1N1 exposure on their own, without being vaccinated, have a far stronger defense against H1N1 variations that might appear.
This is yet another reason why flu vaccines are so dangerous: The deny your
immune system the important opportunity to exercise its own adaptive defenses and build stronger protections against future infections.
One possible scenario that could unfold with all this is that the Ukraine strain might spread around the world, wiping out those who got vaccinated against H1N1 because their immune systems suffer from a suppressed ability to naturally generate antibodies to a new strain. Meanwhile,
drug companies will try to scramble and create a whole new batch of "super flu" vaccines, but they're always too little, too late. Theoretically, millions of people could die around the world while waiting in line for yet another vaccine shot.
All they really need is vitamin D3, some herbal
anti-virals, a healthy diet and plenty of rest, but no one is telling them that.
Even the Ukraine super flu is no match for a healthy immune system. Remember: Out of 65,000+ hospitalizations, fewer than 300 people have died so far. That's still a very low mortality rate, even if the spread of the viral
infection seems aggressive.
WHO cranking up anti-viral drug push
Meanwhile, the WHO is upping its push for anti-viral
drugs, saying that drugs like Tamiflu should now be used earlier on swine flu victims (
http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g6p5Dtqau5AUbPvikpzic2aDIk6w).
They still won't recommend anti-viral herbs, foods, supplements or
natural remedies, of course. The WHO remains a faithful pusher of Big Pharma's profit agenda, even while denying the People of the world the truth about how they can save their own lives with anti-viral natural
remedies. To both the WHO and CDC, the swine flu pandemic has always been about pushing a pharmaceutical agenda at the expense of public health.
Had the public been informed about vitamin D and natural anti-virals like Lomatium, many lives could have already been saved. Instead, the drug pushers at the CDC and WHO have tens of millions of people standing in line waiting for vaccines instead of consuming natural
supplements and remedies that could help protect them from
influenza.
The profit agenda forces us to wonder: With the current H1N1 strain fizzling out -- and yet billions of dollars worth of vaccines still needing to be sold -- could the Ukraine strain have been engineered to scare up more demand and more sales of vaccines and anti-virals?
That's a question that all thinking people need to be asking right now. But we also need to be careful in assessing what's true here. Reading the postings about this on the 'net, I've noticed way too many people leaping to assumptions about what's happening in the Ukraine
without any real evidence to back that up. The reports about Joseph Moshe, in particular, appear to be a complete hoax.
While
it's possible this was an engineered bioweapon of some sort, it's not enough to just assume that's true and then declare it to be so. More evidence is needed before NaturalNews would back a theory like that.
We'll keep you posted on what we find. New documents tend to come our way after we post the first story on a subject like this, often leading to a follow-up story that benefits from more information.
