Almost no more independent medical experts, warns German newspaper

Germany's newspaper Tagesspiegel analyses the thesis of Wolf-Dieter Ludwig, head doctor of the Helios Klinikim Berlin-Buch, that the "swine flu" pandemic is just "a piece of theatre with which the pharma companies want to earn money", - and comes to the conclusion that

1) there are almost no medical experts left in government or universities who are independent of big pharma;

2) researchers and managers are following the same goal, namely, to get their products used, "if necessary without a real emergency".

Tagesspiegel looks into the "questionable" alliance between big pharma and government.

Twelve of the 16 members of the "vaccine commission" at the Robert Koch Institute have links to big pharma, notes the report.

Robert Haas, who coordinates Germany's pandemic planning at the Robert Koch Institute, is also an advisor of the„European Scientific Working Group on Influenza“, which is financed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Novartis, Baxter und Sanofi and lobbies for their drugs.

„President“ of the lobby group is the Dutch virologist Albert Ostherhaus, who is also the member of a working group established by WHO to develop the swine flu jab.

The head of the WHO expert group for vaccines is David Salisbury, the head of the vaccine department of the UK Health Ministry, who is reported to have lobbied for pharma companies to get immunity.

Salisbury also had a key role in WHO's recommendation to implement mass global vaccination with the "swine flu" jab this July even though the safety of the jab is unpreoven.

Epidemiologist Klaus Stöhr, the head of a WHO-flu programme, has been pushing the idea that a pandemic is inevitable and will cost millions of lives.
Stöhr started working for Novartis in 2007.

The report says that big pharma companies finance almost all medical research today and so have acquired undue influence on it and government health policy,
