Tamiflu, Gripe das Aves e Rumsfeld - coincidências ou talvez não

A baixo publico um e-mail que anda por aí a circular na internet, é verdade que foi publicado pela DSALUD, não sei qual a sua credibilidade, mas que o Don Rumsfeld passou a Chairman da Gilead em 1997, vem no próprio site desta, assim como também é verdade que Gilead está ligada ao Tamiflu...um dia virá à luz toda a história do Tamiflu, seja ela qual for...mas que lá muito estranha é, é!

--//--

(segue o e-mail que recebi)

Extracto publicado na Revista DSALUD do número 81 (abril-2006) por José António Campoy

Você sabe que o vírus do gripe das aves foi descoberto há 9 anos no Vietnam?

Você sabe que desde então morreram apenas 100 pessoas EM TODO O MUNDO TODOS ESTES ANOS?

Você sabe que os NORTE americanos foram aqueles que alertaram da eficácia do TAMIFLU (PARA o ser humano como antiviral) como preventivo?

Você sabe que o TAMIFLU alivia apenas alguns sintomas da gripe comum?

Você sabe que sua eficácia antes da gripe das aves como antiviral foi questionada por grande parte da comunidade científica?

Você sabe que um vírus SUPOSTO de mutante como o H5N1 o TAMIFLU apenas alivia a doença?

Você sabe que unicamente a gripe das aves só afecta do pássaro para pássaro?

Você sabe quem comercializa o TAMIFLU?

LABORATÓRIOS ROCHE e você sabe a quem comprou a ROCHE a patente do TAMIFLU em 1996? às CIÊNCIAS DE GILEAD. Você sabe quem era o presidente das CIÊNCIAS de GILEAD e é hoje o accionista principal?

DONALD RUMSFELD, secretário de defesa actual dos EUA;

Você sabe que a base do TAMIFLU é a estrela do anis?

Você sabe quem ficou com 90% da produção mundial desta árvore?

ROCHE você sabe que as vendas do TAMIFLU  passaram de 254 milhões no 2004 para 1000 milhões em 2005?

Você sabe quantos milhões mais podem ganhar ROCHE nos meses seguintes se continuar o negócio do medo?

Agora o resumo da história:

Os amigos de Bush decidem que uma droga como o TAMIFLU é a solução para um pandemia que ainda não ocorreu e que causou em todo o mundo 100 mortes em 9 anos. Esta droga não cura nem a gripe comum.

O vírus nem sequer afecta o homem em circunstâncias normais.

Rumsfeld vende a patente do TAMIFLU a ROCHE e esta ganha uma fortuna.

Roche adquire 90% da produção da estrela do anis, como base antiviral.

Os governos de todo o mundo ameaçados de uma pandemia compram quantidades industriais de ROCHE do produto.

Nós acabamos por pagar e Rumsfeld, Cheney e Bush fazem o negócio....

NÓS SOMOS LOUCOS, OU SOMOS ESTUPIDOS? PASSA ESTA MENSAGEM DE MODO QUE FIQUEMOS A SABER DO NEGOCIO DE TRILIÕES destes chico espertos americanos.

Aquilo que já se suspeitava - o Tamiflu não passa de uma jogada comercial - começa a ser provado cientificamente

Gripe das Aves – as 10 coisas que não quer saber

1 – Encontramo-nos neste momento numa situação pandémica (felizmente, para já, só ao nível das aves);

2 - A Gripe das Aves veio para ficar;

3 – A transmissão do vírus  H5N1 de uma forma eficiente entre a população Humana é uma questão de tempo;

4 – Quando a transmissão entre Humanos for eficiente a Gripe das Aves vai demorar entre 4 a 6 semanas a se alastrar a todo o mundo;

5 – A prazo todos seremos infectados;

6 – Não existe vacina;

7 – Os anti-virais não são eficazes (a eficiência do Tamiflu só se prova na sua capacidade de se fazer vender);

8 – Mais de 50% das pessoas infectadas (registos WHO) pelo H5N1 morreram;

9 – Só se prevê lá para 2008 que seja possível a disponibilização geral (1º mundo) de uma vacina contra o H5N1;

10 – São raros os países que estão minimamente preparados para uma situação de pandemia do H5N1;

É cada vez mais importante ter o mínimo de reserva de mascaras respiratórias em casa

Como estava e está previsto a Gripe das Aves transformou-se numa pandemia, para já, felizmente, ainda só ao nível do reino animal, afectando apenas localmente e em número relativamente baixo os indivíduos que mais proximamente lidam com os animais infectados. Na Turquia, a estas horas, já se pode ter iniciado  o último movimento (mutação do vírus) que afectará o homem à escala mundial, 4 a 6 semanas, é o tempo previsto para que o vírus H5N1, com características do vírus da gripe humana normal, se espalhe por todo o mundo. Não vale a pena entrar em pânico, deixar de comer aves (a não ser nas e das zonas afectadas), ou comprar remédios à toa (ainda por cima sem qualquer prova de eficiência), mas tão só estar preparado para se necessário ter máscaras para utilizar, se as coisas dão para o torto vai ser difícil encontrar e não esquecer que a malha da máscara tem de ter um tamanho minúsculo.
