[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Tekst”]A year ago, in April 2009, the discovery in Mexico and the USA of a virus unknown until then, called H1N1, awoke the menace of a deadly pandemia and triggered a chain of unprecedented actions on behalf of the authorities who have spent thousands of millions of Euros as is now being criticised.
After one year, we still have no answer to the question of whether the World Heath Organisation’s (WHO) decision of declaring the first pandemia of the 21st Century was an excessive dramatization or whether it was governed by trade interests.
The governments spent huge amounts of money in vaccines, which subsequently proved to be a total waste due to the minimal number of people wishing to be vaccinated.
In the name of transparency and in order to respond to the criticism toward its action, the WHO – that denies any influence from the laboratories in its decisions – has created an independent committee to assess how the pandemia was dealt with, and its conclusions are expected to be known this spring.
The H1N1 flu caused 16.900 deaths throughout the world. In Mexico, where the virus was discovered, 1.200 people died and 72.000 people were infected.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
