“MANIPULATIVE VIRUS?” 

SWINE FLU, BIRD FLU AND NOW THE EHEC VIRUS

• EHEC virus used as a geo-economic tool to create an eco strategic scenario among rivaling entities within the European Union?
• EU subsidies for farmers and producers affected by the EHEC virus allegedly amount to 210 Million Euro. Is this the real reason of the outbreak?
• Pharma and Agriculture Industry behind EHEC scare?
• Obtaining impartial information from mainstream media is becoming scares these days for neither print nor visual media are independent  entities  

EHEC scare and the Pharmaceutical  Industry 

Within the last couple of years the world has increasingly been confronted with viruses such as Swine Flu, Bird Flu and last but not least the EHEC virus. In the case of the Swine Flu the WHO (World Health Organization) declared a pandemic. Later, rumors mounted that allegedly the Pharma Industry collaborated with the WHO in order to share the financial benefits such pandemic creates for the industry.

Some even argued that the Pharmaceutical Industry sponsors the WHO and has allegedly some of the organizations decision makers on the payroll.  In case of EHEC, cucumbers gown in Spain were initially blamed for the virus, causing tremendous economic harm to the agricultural sector of the country.

Pharmaceutical companies, under pressure from competition, shareholders and the need to develop new profitable drugs use such opportunities to market their products whenever there are allegedly new viruses and contagious diseases spreading, either deliberately or by coincident. In the end it is all about markets. And in recent past, reports on such viruses have been on the increase.

Agriculture Lobby behind EHEC scare?

Once Spain destroyed tons of cucumbers, authorities reported that the cucumber from Spain was not the cause for spreading the virus.  The damage was done, or was it? Could it be that the EHEC virus is used as a geo-economic tool to create an eco strategic scenario which has advantages for certain entities within the European Union?      

As a subsequence of the EHEC cucumber blame, Spain was forced to eliminate a large amount of their top agricultural export product, thus losing, both reputation and allegedly vast amount of money.

Mainstream European media, who depend on funding and advertising from corporations and large enterprises, quickly took up the bait to blame Spain, one of the vulnerable EU member state, for the cause of EHEC. Playing with the fear of people when it comes to contagious diseases is and always has been a fool prove concept to generate profit, one way or the other......

Food for Thought: 

Geo-economically speaking EHEC costs the EU allegedly 210 Million Euros to compensate the agricultural sectors affected by the virus. On the other hand Agricultural subsidies in the EU have always been a challenge and stir of discussions and controversy. 

Who profits from the 210 Million Euros? See also   http://www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/eu-agrarsubventionen-bruessel-zahlt-und-zahlt-und-zahlt-1.459827 and http://farmsubsidy.org/

Common people have to believe what the mainstream media tells them. There is no way for common citizens to crosscheck main stream media reports. Most of us take the info provided to us for grant. So if the main stream media reports that up to  now already  an X amount of people are infected by the EHEC virus, the public is already opinionated, without being able to verify the claim. 

And media on the other hand are under the influence of their donors and sponsors, who in most cases are large corporations with specific interests, thus obtaining impartial information is almost impossible.
