Report: WHO overstated H1N1 threat

A joint report into the handling of the H1N1 outbreak has found that some scientists who advised governments to stockpile drugs, had previously been on the payroll of big drug companies.

The report, published in the British Medical Journal, found World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines on the use of medicine to treat the virus were prepared by experts who had received consulting fees from the top two manufacturers of the drugs - Roche and GlaxoSmithKline.

Well, this isnt news to some of us who always believed there to be ulterior motives when the WHO declared H1N1 a pandemic.

"A report by the Council of Europe, also released on Friday, accused the WHO for a lack of transparency over the pandemic announcement - saying it wasted huge sums of money and provoked "unjustified fears".

Paul Flynn, the author of the report, told Al Jazeera that the WHO warnings were "exaggeration on stilts".

How will we ever be able to trust the World Health Organisation" again ?

In my opinion, heads should roll for this.
