Baxter International of Deerfield California was caught shipping live avian flu virus mixed in their vaccine materials to 18 countries. This live avian flu virus somehow found its way in to the vaccine samples they sent out & was then shipped worldwide. This should have been setting off alarm bells because current biosafety laws make it impossible for this to happen. Cross contamination of materials should seldom happen & this could have caused a world wide avian flu epidemic.
These samples were not for the swine flu vaccine as this happened last December prior to swine flu finding its way in to our lives. This was for regular seasonal flu shot development.
Baxter Internationals lab in Austria somehow did the impossible and not only mixed vaccine and live avian flu virus, they shipped it to 19 countries. Here we are thinking that these billion dollar companies are so careful and they could have created a worldwide pandemic that would have reduced the population.
Luckily one of the labs that received the vaccine samples tested them on ferrets. The ferrets died and they immediately knew that something was wrong. A potential catastrophe was averted. Or was it?
