WHO scandal exposed: Advisors received kickbacks from H1N1 vaccine
manufacturersby Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) A stunning new report reveals that top scientists who
convinced the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare H1N1 a global
pandemic held close financial ties to the drug companies that profited
from the sale of those vaccines. This report, published in the British
Medical Journal, exposes the hidden ties that drove WHO to declare a
pandemic, resulting in billions of dollars in profits for vaccine
manufacturers.

Several key advisors who urged WHO to declare a pandemic received
direct financial compensation from the very same vaccine manufacturers
who received a windfall of profits from the pandemic announcement.
During all this, WHO refused to disclose any conflicts of interests
between its top advisors and the drug companies who would financially
benefit from its decisions.

All the kickbacks, in other words, were swept under the table and kept
silent, and WHO somehow didn't think it was important to let the world
know that it was receiving policy advice from individuals who stood to
make millions of dollars when a pandemic was declared.

WHO credibility destroyedThe report was authored by Deborah Cohen (BMJ
features editor), and Philip Carter, a journalist who works for the
Bureau of Investigative Journalism in London. In their report, Cohen
states, "...our investigation has revealed damaging issues. If these
are not addressed, H1N1 may yet claim its biggest victim -- the
credibility of the WHO and the trust in the global public health
system."

In response to the report, WHO secretary-general Dr Margaret Chan
defended the secrecy, saying that WHO intentionally kept the financial
ties a secret in order to "...protect the integrity and independence
of the members while doing this critical work... [and] also to ensure
transparency."

Dr Chan apparently does not understand the meaning of the word
"transparency." Then again, WHO has always twisted reality in order to
serve its corporate masters, the pharmaceutical giants who profit from
disease. To say that they are keeping the financial ties a secret in
order to "protect the integrity" of the members is like saying we're
all serving alcohol at tonight's AA meeting in order to keep everybody
off the bottle.

It just flat out makes no sense.

But since when did making sense have anything to do with WHO's
decision process anyway?

Even Fiona Godlee, editor of the BMJ, had harsh words for the WHO,
saying, "...its credibility has been badly damaged. WHO must act now
to restore its credibility."
