CLG: Baxter working on vaccine to stop swine flu, though admitted
sending live pandemic flu viruses to subcontractor By Lori Price 26

working on vaccine to 'stop' swine flu outbreak in Mexico (25 Apr
2009). But, looky here! Baxter admits sending live avian flu viruses
to subcontractor --People familiar with biosecurity rules are
dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow
co-mingled [!] in the Orth-Donau facility. (27 Feb 2009) Is Baxter

torture terror suspects. By Lori Price 26 April 2009 Guess where the
first swine flu outbreak occurred? That's right, Fort Dix, New
Jersey, in 1976. Thirteen soldiers died, leading the US government to
force a questionable vaccine on the population -- backed by a legal

*vaccine.* [Key flu articles here.]

passenger jets crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
