Dear brothers and sisters, May 16, 2009;
Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmathullahi Wa Bharakhathuhu.
With the onset of swine flu the following mails were written.
and
Now there is a game on: the blame game.
===
Adrian Gibbs (75) believes the disease - which has spread across the world in recent weeks - may have been made accidentally in laboratories where vaccines were being developed.
The Australian virologist was one of the first to analyse the genetic construction of the swine flu virus, and he was part of the team which developed anti-flu vaccines
Tamiflu and Relenza.
Gibbs has no concrete evidence, but he believes that scientists accidentally created the H1N1 virus while trying to create flu vaccines: “It is the simplest explanation.”
===
If the above claim is true, the cost of the vaccines required to protect the world population might fall on the drug industry. However there are denials.
===
The
swine flu virus did not result from a laboratory accident, the
World Health Organization said Thursday, working to debunk rumors started by an Australian virologist and circulated by news outlets all over the world.
“We took this very seriously,” Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the agency’s deputy director general, said of the virologist’s assertion. “But the evidence suggests that this is a naturally occurring virus, not a laboratory-derived virus.”
===
The World Health Organization supports the drug companies and claims that the swine-flu virus evolved naturally elsewhere. Where? Mexico?
===
In an initial step toward what could be the first wrongful-death suit of its kind, Texas resident Steven Trunnell has filed a petition against Smithfield Foods, the world's largest pork producer, based in Virginia, and the owner of a massive pig farm in Perote, Mexico, near the village of La Gloria, where the earliest cases of the new H1N1 flu were detected.
...The suit will hinge on the fact that the first confirmed case of H1N1 appears to be a 5-year-old Mexican boy from La Gloria who lived not far from the Smithfield pork-farming operation. Local villagers had been complaining about the smell and the vast amounts of manure created by the Smithfield pig farms for some time, and H1N1 infection rates in the community were high. The idea that factory farming — where pigs are packed together closely — could provide a breeding ground for new viruses also has some scientific backing. A recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that such operations could increase the risk for transmission of new viruses, including swine and avian flu.
===
If the virus originated in the farm the food industry would eventually be expected to bear the cost.
We see very large commercial groups blaming each other. From our perspective the virus has evolved either in the laboratory or in the pig farm.
The safety of mankind rests in eliminating both possibilities. As we have already shown the black cumin, being a cure for all diseases except death, is the medicine for the flu that seems to mutate every year. As there is a safe medicine, there is absolutely no need to create artificial viruses in anticipation and endanger mankind.
So we demand that all virus work in the laboratories be stopped immediately and all stocks of created viruses be destroyed. As the swines do carry the viruses we demand that all swine be killed as well.
We pray to Allah Subhana Wa Taala for the same.
Your brother,
