| Live Bird Flu Virus Shipped To 18 Countries As Vaccine | ||
| The Right Perspective - New York City March 6, 2009 Bird Flu Accidentally Sent As Vaccine  Officials at the World Health Organization and and the European Centre for Disease Control have launched an investigation into how live Avian Bird Flu virus (both H5N1 and H3N2) was accidentally shipped to 18 countries as Bird Flu vaccine.  Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. accidentally sent an “experimental virus material,” which mixed H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabelled H5N1 viruses, to an Austrian research firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in late December. That company then shipped portions of the mixture to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. Subcontractors in the Czech Republic caught the error in early February when testing the shipment on ferrets. The animals died from the inoculation, indicating a live Bird Flu virus. Officials say the 37 people who were exposed to the virus have so far not shown any signs of infection. However, an Austrian news article from February 11 reports a Vienna hospital treated 19 outpatients on February 9 because of exposure to “bird flu virus.” The article said no one was sick, there was no evidence of infection, and the females were prophylaxed with antivirals (presumably Tamiflu). People infected with a mixture of H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could become incubators for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people. Baxter International Inc. follows a BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) protocol which prevents the cross-contamination of materials. “It was a combination of just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure,” said Christopher Bona, Baxter’s director of global bioscience communications. Bona would not give any more information due to “trade secrets”. The mishap comes at an unfortunate time for Baxter International Inc., which was just about to secure a European-wide license for the Avian Bird Flu vaccine. ************* Related Links: * Doctors To Find UK Babies Injected With Toxic Meningitis C Vaccine Steve Connor, The Independent * Toxic Novartis Meningitis C Vaccine Emergency Recall UK Steve Connor, The Independent ************* |
