Topic: Baxter International

A report is discussed regarding Baxter International accidentally mixing live bird flu virus with seasonal flu vaccines. The hosts suggest that such incidents are underreported by mainstream media and question the relationship between pharmaceutical companies and the promotion of pandemic fears to sell stockpiled vaccines.

An examination of USADA's leadership reveals deep ties to major pharmaceutical companies like GlaxoSmithKline and Baxter International. CEO Travis Tygart's compensation and the agency's research grants are scrutinized. The hosts conclude that USADA functions more as a pharmaceutical research and lobbying arm than a simple sports regulator.

Chinese researchers have reportedly created 127 hybrid viruses by mixing H1N1 and avian flu genes in a laboratory. Meanwhile, Baxter International has received European approval for a new seasonal influenza vaccine. The hosts recall Baxter's previous "mistake" of contaminating vaccines with live bird flu virus, expressing concern over ongoing lab-created pathogens.

A laboratory in Lyon, France, is reportedly conducting experiments to combine the highly contagious H1N1 swine flu with the lethal H5N1 avian flu. The hosts compare this research to previous biosecurity incidents involving Baxter International and express concern over the potential for a global pandemic.

Police in Poland reportedly recovered 11 tons of stolen human blood plasma belonging to Baxter International. The hosts recall Baxter's previous controversy involving the accidental distribution of H1N1-contaminated vaccine materials in Europe. They speculate on the black market value and potential uses for such a large quantity of medical plasma.

Reports from Kiev, Ukraine, claim that aircraft were seen spraying a mysterious substance over the city days before a major pneumonic plague outbreak. While some dismiss these as "chemtrail" conspiracies, local residents reported being advised to stay indoors during the spraying. The discussion links the incident to Baxter International, a pharmaceutical company with facilities in the region previously involved in a vaccine contamination scandal.

Polls indicate that 70% of the French public refuses to take the H1N1 vaccine, viewing it as experimental or a pharmaceutical scam. Reports from France suggest concerns that vaccines might contain a lethal mixture of H1N1 and H5N1 bird flu. The discussion references a previous incident where Baxter International distributed H5N1-contaminated material to six European countries.

Reports from Ukraine suggest a highly lethal respiratory illness, referred to as N1N1, is causing widespread fatalities. The hosts link the outbreak to the presence of a Baxter International research and development lab in the country. They suggest the situation in Ukraine represents a true pandemic compared to the milder H1N1 cases elsewhere.

A virulent respiratory illness in Ukraine has resulted in hundreds of thousands of infections and dozens of deaths, with some reports describing it as a hemorrhagic flu. Suspicions are raised regarding a Baxter International plant in the region, given the company's past accidental release of live viruses. The World Health Organization maintains the outbreak is likely a mutated strain of the pandemic H1N1 virus.

The Ukraine is experiencing a severe outbreak of an unidentified viral pneumonia, leading to travel restrictions and a ban on large crowds. The hosts reference claims by biologist Joseph Moshe that Baxter International's laboratory in the Ukraine was involved in creating biological weapons. Reports indicate the illness causes lungs to fill with blood, leading some to label it a "hemorrhagic flu."

The World Health Organization is overseeing the production of 3 billion doses of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine, leading to concerns about the use of controversial adjuvants to stretch the supply. While the FDA has historically been cautious, the pandemic is seen as a catalyst for licensing these additives in the U.S. market. Baxter International is identified as a key manufacturer, despite past controversies involving the accidental distribution of live viral materials.

Baxter International and Novartis AG are highlighted as primary producers of vaccines and adjuvants, with institutional investors like Goldman Sachs holding significant shares. A recent appearance by Janet Napolitano on Real Time with Bill Maher is scrutinized, suggesting the media appearance was timed to normalize her presence before major government actions.

Baxter International reported increased profits tied to swine flu vaccine production, despite past controversies involving live avian flu contamination. In Europe, journalist Jane Burgermeister has filed a lawsuit against the WHO and high-ranking officials, alleging a conspiracy to implement forced vaccinations.

The pharmaceutical industry is reportedly using "pay to delay" tactics to keep generic drugs off the market as major patents expire. The hosts suggest the swine flu vaccine push and the HPV vaccine mandates are financial maneuvers intended to sustain corporate profits for companies like Baxter International.

Baxter International announced full-scale production of a swine flu vaccine, which is expected to be commercially available in July. The announcement followed the World Health Organization's declaration of a global pandemic. The hosts revisit Baxter's history, including a past incident where bird flu was accidentally mixed with seasonal flu vaccines, and note the company's headquarters in Illinois.

A discussion on the safety of propylene glycol in electronic cigarettes leads John C. Dvorak to request a copy of the Merck Index. He describes the book as an essential chemical reference used by chemists to identify reagents and lethal poisons. The hosts search for an online version of the index but find the hotel's internet proxy makes the process difficult.

Reports suggest Tamiflu may no longer be effective against the Mexican flu, leading to a discussion of Relenza as an alternative powder-based inhalation treatment. Relenza is noted for its unique delivery system involving blister packs and a vortex device. The discussion also highlights Baxter International, a Chicago-based company contracted for vaccine production, and its proximity to political figures in the Obama administration.

The U.S. Army investigated the disappearance of vials containing Venezuelan equine encephalitis from a lab in Maryland around the same time 21 polo horses died. Additionally, Baxter International, a company previously caught including live bird flu virus in vaccine materials, has been selected to manufacture the new swine flu vaccine. These events are presented as circumstantial evidence of a more complex origin for the current outbreak.

A report in Science Magazine details a mishap at Baxter International involving the accidental distribution of live bird flu virus. Despite the potential public health risk, the company's stock price has remained high due to lucrative government contracts for vaccine production. The hosts suggest the lack of mainstream media coverage indicates the public has become desensitized to such biological risks.

Baxter International is under scrutiny for accidentally mixing live bird flu virus (H5N1) with seasonal flu vaccines. The hosts suggest that such incidents are underreported and question the motives of a company that holds significant contracts for the very vaccines needed to treat the virus they allegedly distributed.
