I favorited a @YouTube video http://t.co/v6VyFAeF Holocaust Vaccine, Population Control The Eugenics Connecti http://www.infowars.com/%e2%80%98acci... _______________ Czech newspapers are questioning if the shocking discovery of vaccines contaminated with the deadly avian flu virus which were distributed to 18 countries by the American company Baxter were part of a conspiracy to provoke a pandemic. The claim holds weight because, according to the very laboratory protocols that are routine for vaccine makers, mixing a live virus biological weapon with vaccine material by accident is virtually impossible. The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses, reports the Canadian Press. Baxter flu vaccines contaminated with H5N1 - otherwise known as the human form of avian flu, one of the most deadly biological weapons on earth with a 60% kill rate - were received by labs in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Slovenia. Initially, Baxter attempted to stonewall questions by invoking trade secrets and refused to reveal how the vaccines were contaminated with H5N1. After increased pressure they then claimed that pure H5N1 batches were sent by accident. This was seemingly an attempt to quickly change the story and hide the fact that the accidental contamination of a vaccine with a deadly biological agent like avian flu is virtually impossible and the only way it could have happened was by wilful gross criminal negligence.

IOSH says the UK Government is not giving people enough time to comment on plans to cut health and safety regulations: http://t.co/oQwyOlXe The UK Government is not giving people enough time to comment on plans to cut health and safety regulations, a leading professional body has said. The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) is concerned that new government guidance for its departments and other public bodies recommends as little as two weeks consultation on changes to policy or legislation, or sometimes no final consultation at all. Currently, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) gives people at least three months to have their say – a policy IOSH supports. Severely cutting back that timescale would be foolhardy when lives are at stake, said the Institution. IOSH is the largest professional body for health and safety practitioners in the world, with more than 40,000 members. Its members work at operational and strategic levels across all employment sectors. IOSH head of policy and public affairs Richard Jones said: “We have diverse experience and expertise and are keen to contribute to government consultations, but it’s vital that there is sufficient time for the consultation process, so we have the opportunity to comment. “We therefore would be concerned if the consultation period on important consultations was reduced below the current 12 weeks.” Mr Jones said stakeholders need adequate time to gather and submit data if the ‘impact assessments’ that support legislative proposals are to be sufficiently robust and evidence-based. “We have already recently raised concerns about the speed and scale of the consultation exercise the government is currently undertaking into proposed health and safety reforms,” he added. “We have urged that the government do not to rush this process because we need carefully considered and high quality outcomes, in order to save lives and sustain businesses. This latest development, far from heeding the concerns that we and others have raised, seems to herald a potential worsening of the situation. “It’s vital that those who may have important intelligence to contribute and those who may be affected by government proposals, are given full opportunity to have their voices heard. Consultation isn’t about rushing, it’s about listening.” The new guidance referred to can be found at: http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/sites/default/files/resources/Consultation-Principles.pdfMore articles from IOSH: Olympic health and safety successes can benefit construction companies (31st July 2012)From Newsletter Stories Does less regulation really benefit employers?
