Drug firms 'drove swine flu pandemic warning to recoup £billions spent on research'
The World Health Organization said it plans to conduct a review of
its response to swine flu as policymakers in Europe prepare for an
burgent debate on the influenza pandemic. Yesterday, the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe said false pandemics, a threat
to health will be a major theme of its next plenary session. Health
authorities worldwide are assessing whether their response to swine
flu is justified by its threat as cases retreat in the U.S. and
Western Europe. The new H1N1 virus, which has targeted children and
younger adults, has so far resulted in fewer deaths than attributed
to seasonal strains, which kills mostly the frail elderly. Council
of Europe parliamentarian Wolfgang Wodarg said last week he and
several colleagues had called for a commission of inquiry into a
false pandemic and the way it was handled at national and European
levels, claiming pressure from pharmaceutical firms. The WHO moved
to the top level of its six-step pandemic alert in June after the
discovery of swine flu in Mexico and the U.S. in April.
