No honest investigation into accidental global release of Spanish Flu virus

By Mike Adams

What if a terrorist acquired a deadly strain of influenza that had killed millions of people in the past? What if that terrorist were able to replicate that virus, obtain the names and addresses of organizations all around the world, and distribute it across the world? What if that became headline news, and everybody found out about it? You would think that law enforcement officials might be interested, right? You’d think that somebody would investigate how this deadly strain of influenza got shipped to all of these organizations around the world…

In reality, that’s not what would happen at all. Such a hypothetical event actually occurred, except it wasn’t a terrorist. It was a research company that claimed to have “accidentally” distributed all of these samples of the deadly H2N2 influenza strain, which is most famous for killing millions of people around the world in 1957. It was called the “Spanish Flu” at the time, although that name is not technically accurate.

This company took this deadly virus and replicated it, then put it in kits that were part of an everyday influenza identification testing kit. They overnighted these kits through postal mail or courier services to over 4,000 destinations around the world in many different countries. When this became headline news, however, nobody was interested in finding out whether this was a crime. Nobody thought, “Why is this happening?” Nobody raised the alarm and said, “You know what, this is a threat to human health.” This is a deadly virus and people born after 1957 have no immunity whatsoever to this virus. This means you could re-release this old H2N2 influenza strain into today’s population, and you could observe the same kill rate experienced back in 1957. You could see the same mess all over again with millions of people dying worldwide.

As if all of these viruses aren’t dangerous enough on their own — for example, Marburg in Angola and the bird flu virus in Southeast Asia — we actually have companies replicating these deadly strains and distributing them, just to make sure that they’re in everybody’s labs all over the world.

It gets worse. Some of these shipments were lost.
