Wetback Flu & the Nat'l Medical Bill: A Means to Detain Any American

Wise Up Journal
02.01.2009
By Gabriel O’Hara

The majority of this article is made up from an absolutely horrifying section of the National Medical Bill. Horrors that you’ve not heard about in 70 years are actually written down and are legal. Everything in this article has a link to the official bill. The section in question of the Medical Bill springs from the World Health Organisation standards and recommendations. Most countries are likely to have the same bills because most follow the WHO’s lead, however in some countries these emergency plans can not be seen even by homeland security so this Irish Medical Bill could be a window into what other Governments are also prepared to do.

These specific emergency measures can legally be carried out without the so called emergency ever happening in your country, all that is required is a simple alert from the unelected people at the WHO. As we will see, these psychotic Government actions to a so called “imminent” emergency will actually do more damage than if the emergency hit.

We’ll come to the Medical Bill in a moment but first we’ll look at this 2008 pamphlet from the Government that states a worldwide pandemic would be caused by “a new influenza strain” and they are pretty confident when they state “there will be more pandemics”. It also lets us know who is in control of kicking off the alert and actions when it says, “You will be advised to begin these preparations if and when the World Health Organisation confirms that a pandemic is imminent.” The Department of Health & Children’s National Pandemic Influenza Plan shows the WHO puts our global society currently at phase 3 of a phase 6 global pandemic, “The World Health Organization (WHO) uses six phases of pandemic alert as a system for informing the world of the seriousness of the threat.“ Phase 3: “Human infection(s) with a new subtype, […] We are now in Phase 3 (January 2007).” The power to alert/get nations into implementing WHO actions is further consolidated in to the hands of one person, the current Director-General (Chinese Margaret Chan) and the pandemic plan says, “the designation of alert phases, including decisions on when to move from one phase to another, is made by the Director-General of the World Health Organization. The transition between phases may be rapid and some phases may be skipped. “

National Pandemic Influenza Plan also lists the following:

“A number of legal issues may arise from the public health management of pandemic influenza.”

“The World Health Organization has identified and categorised non-pharmaceutical public health interventions as follows:”

“Measures to increase social distance”
“Measures for people entering or exiting an infected area within a country”
“Section 31 [Health Act] gives power to the Minister to make regulations to prevent the spread of an infectious disease and to treat people suffering from infectious disease. The regulations envisaged by the Act include:”
“Requirement for adults and children to stay in their homes”
“Requirement for adults and children to submit to examination, vaccination, immunisation”
It then lists “suspension of travel”, “suspension of other gatherings”, and finally lists “possible security issues” as a wider scope of power given to them.

Lets look at Part IV of the the Health Act which deals with infectious diseases and see how Governments will treat us when the WHO gives the ok. Lets look at how the law will make all our rights evaporate when we need them the most. http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1947/en/act/pub/0028/

Section 38 contains a purposeful loophole to detain anyone. It legalizes the detention of, by force if necessary, people who are not identified as infected but are a “probable” source. The name of section 38 is “Detention and isolation of person who is probable source of infection” and it states the following, “force may, if necessary, be used for the purpose of carrying out any provision of this subsection.”

Part 2 of section 38 redefines the word person into patient: “(2) Where an order is made under this section in relation to a person (in this subsection referred to as the patient), the following provisions shall have effect[….]”. This makes it legal for the government imprison people known not to be infected and label them as patients.

Part K of section 38 tries to pretend that a person or a parent of a detained child can make an appeal to be released but it is entirely up the decision of the minister and this “nice” sounding part actually allows the legal interpretation for people to be detained for what ever amount of time the state demands. The key word of part K is “determination” which has a couple of definitions in the dictionary one being “settlement of a dispute”. Part K states, “if no determination of an appeal under paragraph (h) of this subsection is made by the Minister and communicated to the person in charge of such hospital or other place within twenty-one clear days from the receipt by the Minister of such appeal, such person shall release the, patient”. If a determination/decision is made by the Minister for the status quo then the men, women and children detained will not be released. It also makes it legal for Government officers to detain people even if the Minister has not made any decision because it says if the government officer (”the person in charge of such hospital or other place“) is not told (”communicated to”) that the Minister has not made a decision (or even that there is an appeal) the officer does not have to release the person. If the detention officers are not told there was an appeal, they don’t know to release you based on a “no determination“.

The Health act gives the power of relocating people (persons) to government facilities/camps/accommodation: Health Act section 40, “A health authority may provide accommodation for persons who are compelled to leave their homes on account of any steps taken under this Act or the regulations made thereunder for the prevention of the spread of infectious disease.” It gives the government the right to detain people in government facilities not just hospitals with the following line, “the order to allow for the patient’s isolation in a hospital or other place convenient“.

Health Act section 32 A and B below deals with the entire population not just the infected and uninfected population incarcerated in hospitals and “other places”. It gives the Minister power to order the injection of the entire population (quote: “all adult persons” and “all children”) with a vaccine they believe might immunise against a pandemic “caused by a new influenza strain“. You are probably thinking how could they create a vaccine so fast, doesn’t it take years to prove it is safe? They are prepared to alter the entire population’s immune system and DNA with what would be officially an untested experimental vaccine, are you prepared for that? It’s the law now.

Health Act section 32:
“The Minister may by order declare that-”

“it is necessary, for the purpose of preventing the spread of a particular infectious disease, that all adult persons should submit themselves to a specified measure in relation to their protection or immunisation against such infectious disease”

“The Minister may by order declare that—”

“it is necessary, for the purpose of preventing the spread of a particular infectious disease, that all children should be submitted to a specified measure in relation to their protection or immunisation against that infectious disease”.

Going back to the little public pamphlet that looks like it was designed for children it mentions 8 possible emergencies. All the other emergencies beside a pandemic are played down, even a nuclear incident at Sellafield is nothing to worry about according to the pamphlet as it says “any radioactivity from an incident would be diluted before reaching Ireland.” For other emergencies they use words of possibilities like, “in the event of such an incident”, “you may be asked”, but with the pandemic, which is allocated more pages, they have definite statements such as, “there will be more pandemics”, “if and when”, “every household in the country will receive a leaflet before the pandemic reaches Ireland”, follow “advice from the telephone hotline that will be set up or from official Government announcements to the media.” Months after this pamphlet was released the Irish government performed for the first ever time test announcements over all media as the Irish Times reported in Dec 2008: “the State’s radio and television airwaves fell silent for the first time early this morning as part of a Government exercise on giving urgent messages to the nation.”

The National Pandemic Influenza Plan says when a pandemic is completely over “it may be a long time before the health services recover”. Business, farming, and food supplies will take just as long if not longer to recover. How will a family whom are not incarcerated at a government facility during a WHO pandemic phase feed themselves when public gathering are illegal, when food markets are closed and leaving the home is forbidden? Issuing people masks and gloves, keeping stores open, not injecting the entire population with an experimental vaccine, and not rounding up people into camps would save more lives. The goal of these “legal” measures are clear. “If and when” (as the government say’s) they implement the World Health Organisation measures because of a pandemic or phantom pandemic alert we’ll find that these actions will kill more people than a real pandemic ever could. The legal measures have been adopted for such a disaster to take place and you wont be able to counter them when implemented. You might want to think of getting these laws taken out before the WHO announces it’s alert.

Bird Flu In Our Vaccines.

F. William Engdahl
Global Research
August 15, 2008

There is alarming evidence accumulated

by serious scientific sources that the US Government

is about to or already has ‘weaponized’ Avian Flu.

If the reports are accurate, this could unleash a new pandemic

on the planet that could be more devastating than the

1918 Spanish Flu epidemic which killed an estimated

30 million people worldwide before it eventually died out.

Pentagon and NIH experiments with remains in frozen state

of the 1918 virus are the height of scientific folly.

Is the United States about to unleash a new racially selective

pandemic through the process of mandatory vaccination

with an alleged vaccine "against" Avian Flu?

=

There is reason to believe that sections of the international

pharmaceutical industry cartel are acting in concert with

the US Government to develop a genetically modified H5N1 virus

substance that could unleash a man-made pandemic, perhaps more deadly

than the 1918 ‘Spanish Influenza’ pandemic claiming up to 30 million lives.(1)

Rima E. Laibow, MD, head of the Natural Solutions Foundation,

a citizen watchdog group monitoring the pharmaceutical industry states,

"Our best intelligence estimate is that pandemic Avian Flu has already

been created through genetic engineering in the United States,

fusing the deadly genome of the 1918 Pandemic,

misnamed the ‘Spanish Flu’, with the DNA of the innocuous

H5N1 virus in a growth medium of human kidney cells, according to

the National Institutes of Health and the vaccine’s manufacturer.

Some virologists believe that this would insure that the man-made

mutant virus recognizes human cells and knows how to invade them." (2)

If true, as Laibow points out,

"A basic virological fact that the public has not been told is that

it is impossible to make a vaccine against a virus that does not yet exist.

Public relations efforts to the contrary, IF a vaccine is being made

against the Avian Flu virus in its pandemic form, that means that

the pandemic virus must already exist, period, end of discussion."(3)

The genome of the 1918 pandemic, the so-called "Spanish Flu",

was recently intentionally resurrected by the United States government

from a frozen corpse that died of the flu in 1918 in Alaska.

Because of that resurrection, both the Avian Flu,

and its "vaccine" are now a significant threat to public health.

The Spanish Flu, which was not Spanish at all,

was created in the US through an early bioweapons program

and injected into healthy young men (i.e., ’soldiers’)

as the first mandatory vaccination in the military during World War I.

The "Spanish Flu", which originated in Kansas on US Military bases,

was one of the deadliest pandemics in modern history. It was also

one of the most successful biological weapons ever created,

until now.Aspartame and Tyson Foods doubts

To date, there have only been around 385 human cases of Avian Flu

identified worldwide (assuming those identifications are trustworthy,of course),

with 243 deaths. To put the absurdity of this effort into perspective,

Laibow points out, Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), which researchers

believe is heavily associated with aspartame consumption,

is a leading cause of death which, according to the CDC, for example,

killed 460,000 Americans in 1999 and the numbers keep rising (www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5106a3.htm.)

But, aspartame is not under criticism. Interesting as a footnote

on Aspartame, G.D. Searle, the Chicago drugs company that held

the patent on Aspartame was in danger of losing its license

from the US Government Food & Drug Administration in the 1980’s

until Donald Rumsfeld, out of Government, was named President of Searle.

Rumsfeld used his contacts in Washington to get the FDA to approve

Aspartame despite known tests showing serious health effects on rats.

As I document in detail in my book,

Seeds of Destruction: The Hidden Agenda of Genetic Manipulation, the same

Don Rumsfeld went on to become chairman and principal stockholder

of a California pharmaceutical company, Gilead Sciences Inc.,

which developed and patented Tamiflu in 1996,

first as a drug for AIDS, later as a vaccine for H5N1 Avian Flu.

In 1997 Donald H. Rumsfeld was named Chairman of the

Board of Gilead Sciences, where he remained until early 2001

when he became Defense Secretary.

As Secretary he refused to sell his stock at the time he came under

conflict of interest allegations when he ordered $1 billion worth of Tamiflu

be bought to injected into the US military personnel as a "precaution."

It was later proven that Tamiflu was in no antidote for H5N1

and its side effects were sometimes very severe.

Laibow adds, "Given the shockingly obvious lack of any threat

from an un-weaponized H5N1 virus, how can we explain

the Bush Administration spending billions of dollars preparing

each of the 50 States, for what it calls the ‘inevitable Bird Flu pandemic,’

which they say could kill half or more of all Americans

and similar numbers of people around the globe?"(4)

Ominously, on June 3, Associated Press reported,

"Tyson Foods Inc. has begun killing and burying the carcasses

of 15,000 hens from a flock that tested positive for exposure to a strain

of the bird flu in northwest Arkansas, state officials said Tuesday."

Tyson Foods is the largest industrialized producer of chickens

in the world and has been repeatedly under attack

for its unsanitary conditions of breeding and slaughtering.

In January 2005, a US Government Accountability Office (GAO)

report to the US Senate, "Safety in the Meat and Poultry Industry,"

concluded that US meat and poultry processing plants had

"one of the highest rates of injury and illness of any industry."

They cited exposure to

"dangerous chemicals, blood, faecal matter, exacerbated

by poor ventilation and often extreme temperatures. Workers

typically faced hazardous conditions, loud noise, must work

in narrow confines with sharp tools and dangerous machinery."

The industrialization of chicken-raising and slaughtering in the USA

has progressed to the point that by 2003 when the first cases

of H5N1 Avian Flu virus were reported from Asia,

five giant multinational agribusiness companies dominated

the production and processing of chicken meat in the United States.

The five companies were Tyson Foods, the largest in the world;

Gold Kist Inc; Pilgrim’s Pride; ConAgra Poultry; and Perdue Farms.(5)

Most outbreaks of Avian Flu in Asia have been traced back

to such mass chicken industrial factory centers.(6)

In May this year, The Canadian Press reported from Toronto,

"An experiment mating H5N1 avian flu viruses and a strain of human flu

in a laboratory produced a surprising number of hybrid viruses

that were biologically fit, a new study reveals. And while none

of the offspring viruses was as virulent as the original H5N1,

about one in five were lethal to mice at low doses, showing they retained

at least a portion of the power of their dangerous parent." (7)

The Toronto article went on,

"The work suggests that under the right circumstances

- and no one is clear what all of those are - the two types of flu viruses

could swap genes in a way that might allow the H5N1 virus

to acquire the capacity to trigger a pandemic.

That process is called reassortment.

‘This study is just showing exactly that:

There is a risk this virus can successfully reassort with a human virus,’

said Richard Webby, director of the World Health Organization’s

collaborating centre for influenza research

at St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee." (8)

Pentagon Bioweapon research

Prof. Mathew Meselson, a professor of molecular biology at Harvard,

and well-respected scientist in the area of chemical and biological warfare,

confirms that the United States government has extensively

researched and developed biological weapons in the past.

Meselson described an American facility, north of Terre Haute, Indiana,

built in 1944 that would have produced 500,000

4 pound anthrax bombs monthly once in full operation.

Meselson was part of a team that proved the accidental release

of anthrax at a Soviet facility in 1979, disproved charges

of biological warfare in Laos and Cambodia in the late 1970s,

and was a driving force behind popularizing

the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1994.

Since coming in office, the Bush-Cheney Administration

has done much to weaken that Chemical Weapons Convention

as well as ones on biological weapons. One of George W. Bush’s

first acts as President in early 2001 was to oppose a proposed

international Biological and Toxic Weapons Protocol,

without explanation, leading to the death of the talks.

In a 2004 study, the British Medical Association warned that the world

was perhaps only a few years away from "terrifying biological weapons

capable of killing only people of specific ethnic groups,"

citing advances in genetic weapons technology. (9)

The US Department of Homeland Security has ominously enough announced

it is ordering production and stockpiling of a pandemic influenza vaccine:

"The U.S. Government is taking steps to minimize the need

to make vaccine allocation decisions by supporting efforts

to increase domestic influenza vaccine production capacity.

Significant funding is being provided to develop new vaccine technologies

that allow production of enough pandemic influenza vaccine

for any person in the United States who wants to be vaccinated

within six months of a pandemic declaration." (10)

The curious role of Sanofi Pasteur

The US Government has been financing the development of a vaccine against

H5N1 on a "fast track" basis since 2004. Sanofi Pasteur in Swiftwater,

Pennsylvania, a subsidiary of the giant French pharmaceutical firm,

the third largest in the world, manufactured an inactivated vaccine

made from an H5N1 virus isolated in Southeast Asia in 2004.

Sanofi Pasteur, part of the French-based Sanofi Aventis Group,

was awarded a contract by the US Government’s National Institute

of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes

of Health (NIH), NIAID to manufacture the H5N1 vaccine in May 2004.(11)

In April 2007 the FDA approved the Sanofi Pasteur vaccine for H5N1

even though one year before the FDA cited Sanofi Pasteur

for producing contaminated Fluzone vaccines.(12)

The FDA approved H5N1 vaccine is itself apparently not really

effective in event of a human-to-human outbreak of Avian Flu.

On announcing its approval, the FDA stated,

"two injections given 28 days apart may provide ‘limited’ protection

if a pandemic occurs. About 45% of people who got the vaccine

in a study developed an immune response to the virus."(13)

Until now H5N1 has not mutated into a form that can easily spread

from person to person. Is that what the researchers at Sanofi Pasteur

and various labs under contract to the US Government are engaged in?

If so it would be classified Top Secret, clearly.

The respected British magazine, New Scientist, commented,

"If H5N1 does mutate, it is unclear if vaccines developed now would still work

against a pandemic strain. Manufacturers could tailor a new vaccine

to that strain, but current production methods take months." (14)

The magazine noted that research on the Sanofi vaccine

was conducted by the National Institutes of Health as part of

the US Government’s efforts to prepare for a flu pandemic.

The salient question is whether they prepare "for a flu pandemic"

or whether they prepare a flu pandemic.

Why is the US Government spending hundreds of millions

of taxpayer dollars to stockpile this H5N1 vaccine

which likely would not work against such a pandemic outbreak?

On July 2, 2008, the London Daily Telegraph newspaper reported,

"Three Polish doctors and six nurses are facing criminal prosecution

after a number of homeless people died following medical trials

for a vaccine to the H5N1 bird-flu virus." (15)

The report added that the medical staff, from the northern town

of Grudziadz, were being investigated over medical trials on as many

as 350 homeless and poor people last year, which prosecutors

say involved an untried vaccine to the highly-contagious virus.

Authorities claim that the alleged victims received €3 to be tested

with what they thought was a conventional flu vaccine but,

according to investigators, was actually an anti bird-flu drug.

The director of a Grudziadz homeless centre,

Mieczyslaw Waclawski,

told a Polish newspaper that last year,

21 people from his centre died,

a figure well above the average of about eight.

The Polish report did not specify if it was the vaccine being developed

under contract to the US Government Department of Homeland Security

by Sanofi-Pasteur.

However, it is known that Sanofi-Pasteur has been producing

large quantities of such a vaccine at a factory they have in China.

Dr. Laibow reports that the "Pandemic Avian Flu Vaccine" was scheduled

to be delivered to the United States this month by the French vaccine maker,

Sanofi Pasteur, from a facility they own in China, where it is being produced.

The US Government issued its "Vaccine" allocation plan in July.

Laibow fears that a most sinister scenario of a deliberate release

of Avian Flu pathogens on the population that could activate martial law

and forced vaccination with resulting deaths in the millions could be imminent.

Spanish Flu virus revived by Pentagon

In 2003 US Army scientists created ‘Spanish Flu’ virus in the laboratory.

According to a report at the time by the watchdog group,

The Sunshine Project, which monitors biological and chemical weapons

research of the United States Government issued a statement

that "The ‘Spanish Flu’ influenza virus that killed 20-40 million people

in 1918 is currently under reconstruction.

Several genes of the extraordinarily lethal 1918 flu virus

have been isolated and introduced into contemporary flu strains.

These proved to be lethal for mice, while virus constructs

with genes from a current flu virus types had hardly any effect.

These experiments may easily be abused for military purposes,

but provide little benefit from a medical or public health point of view."

They continued, "The 1918 Spanish Flu was highly infectious and

– in comparison to contemporary flu viruses – killed a very high

percentage of those infected, including many younger people.

The Spanish Flu alone caused the medium life expectancy in the US

in 1918 to drop by 10 years. Hence, flu viruses are perceived today

as a serious biological warfare threat. Just two weeks ago,

a 15 million dollar research grant was awarded in the US to develop

protective measures especially against a bioterrorist attack with flu viruses."

The statement added, "Despite the very dangerous nature

of the 1918 virus, efforts to reconstruct it started in the mid 1990s,

when Dr Jeffrey Taubenberger from the US Armed Forces Institute

of Pathology in Washington DC succeeded in recovering and sequencing

fragments of the viral RNA from preserved tissues of 1918 victims.

In the current issue of the scientific journal Emerging Infectious

Diseases new genetic details of the 1918 flu virus will be published."

Most ominously, they report, "But after (partially) unravelling

the genetic sequence of the virus, the scientists went a step further

and began bringing the Spanish flu back to life. Unnoticed by the public,

they succeeded in creating a live virus containing two 1918 genes

that proved to be very lethal in animal experiments.

This experiment is only one genetic step away

from taking the 1918 demon entirely out of the bottle." (16)

They conclude,

"A resuscitation of the Spanish flu is neither necessary nor warranted

from a public health point of view. Allegedly, the recent experiments

sought to test the efficacy of existing antiviral drugs on the 1918 construct.

But there is little need for antiviral drugs against the 1918 strain

if the 1918 strain had not been recreated in the first place.

‘It simply does not make any scientific sense to create a new threat

just to develop new countermeasures against it.’

says Jan van Aken, biologist with the Sunshine Project,

‘Genetic characterization of influenza strains

has important biomedical applications.

But it is not justifiable to recreate this particularly dangerous eradicated

strain that could wreak havoc if released, deliberately or accidentally.’"17

Let us sincerely hope not, but as Prof. Stephen Block, Stanford University biophysicist with years of experience in classified Pentagon and US Government biological research remarked in another context, "We’re tempted to say that nobody in their right mind would ever use these things." Block added, "But not everybody is in their right mind…" 18Sanofi Pasteur delivers H5N1 vaccine

On April 28 of this year in an official Press Release from Sanofi Pasteur US headquarters in Swiftwater, Pennsylvania and Lyon, France, the company stated, "Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of Sanofi-Aventis Group, announced today that the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has accepted H5N1 bulk vaccine antigen to produce approximately 38.5 million doses of vaccine to protect against a new strain of avian influenza. Sanofi Pasteur has a multi-year contract with HHS as part of its pandemic program, and will receive a payment of $192.5 million booked in the second quarter of 2008 for acceptance of the bulk vaccine lot."19

Then, on June 16 of this year, Sanofi Pasteur issued the following release announcing that it will, "donate 60 million doses of H5N1 vaccine to the World Health Organization (WHO) over 3 years for the establishment of an H5N1 vaccine global stockpile."

The President and CEO of Sanofi Pasteur, Wayne Pisano, said in the release, "The H5N1 virus is currently circulating in some of the poorest regions of the world and an outbreak of pandemic influenza would most likely hit populations living in areas with limited access to vaccines. This donation of H5N1 vaccine aims to address the needs of those most vulnerable populations. In addition to supporting the efforts of governments," Pisano added, "it is essential that industry collaborates with international organizations such as WHO, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other global health players. This is the best way to build a stockpile of vaccines for developing nations, ready to be deployed on the ground in the event of a pandemic flu outbreak."20

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in addition to being a financial supporter of the so-called Doomsday Seed Vault in the Arctic, has dedicated its foundation billions to support population control especially inAfrica. Among other projects they, as well as the Rockefeller Foundation, are financing The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, whose head is former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. 21

As the world’s leading influenza vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur produces approximately half of the influenza vaccine distributed worldwide. In the US it produced more than 40 percent of the influenza vaccine distributed for the 2007-2008 influenza season. The fact that the US Government has revived the 1918 Spanish Flu virus to make "tests" indicates that anything is possible. There are in this world some people not in their "right mind." God forbid if it is so in this instance.

GRAIN, Fowl Play: The Poultry Industry’s Central Role in the Bird Flu Crisis, http://www.grain.org/go/birdflu ,

February 2006. In their report they note, "The transformation of poultry production in Asia in recent decades is staggering. In the Southeast Asian countries where most of the bird flu outbreaks are concentrated—Thailand, Indonesia, and Viet Nam—production jumped eightfold in just 30 years, from around 300,000 metric tonnes (mt) of chicken meat in 1971 to 2,440,000 mt in 2001. China’s production of chicken tripled during the 1990s to over 9 million metric tons per year." (Cited in Engdahl, Op. Cit., p. 288.).

As well, a report by a Canadian organization,

Beyond Factory Farming, described the transmission

likely pathways from the giant industrialized chicken centers:

‘In Thailand, China and Vietnam there is a highly developed industrial

poultry industry which has expanded dramatically in the past decade.

The large poultry companies raise millions of birds, hatch chicks

to supply other intensive poultry operations, export live birds and eggs

to countries such as Nigeria (where the first Highly Pathogenic

Avian Influenza outbreak in Africa was recently reported) and produce

and export feed which often includes "litter" (i.e., manure) in the ingredients.

[…]

‘Manure that may contain live virus is spread on surrounding farmland,

or exported as fertilizer, and through run-off may end up

in surface waters where wild birds feed and rest.

Chicken manure is even found in fish farm feed formulations

where it is introduced directly into the aquatic environment.

Wild birds and poultry thathave fallen victim to HPAI in Asia, Turkey

and Nigeria appear to have been directly exposed to HPAI

virus originating in the factory farm system.

In Asia, a flock of wild ducks died from HPAI

—after having come into contact with the disease at a remote lake where

a fish farm used feed pellets made from poultry litter from a factory farm.

In Turkey a massive cull of backyard flocks—and the deaths

of three children—took place after a nearby factory farm

sold sick and dying birds to local peasants at cut rate prices.

Nigeria has a large and poorly regulated factory poultry production sector

which is supplied with chicks from factory farms in China.’
