			Baxter scientists patented the “swine 
			flu” vaccine two years before outbreak of “novel swine flu” 
			virus. Austrian Baxter scientist involved in H1N1 vaccine patent 
			also advises World Health Organization! 
			  
			Otfried Kistner, the head of 
			virology at Baxter’s Austrian subsidiary in Orth an der Donau, which 
			contaminated 72 kilos of vaccine material with the live bird flu 
			virus and sent it to 16 labs this February, was part of the 
			Austrian-based Baxter team that applied for a provisional patent for 
			the “swine flu” H1N1 vaccine in August 2007, almost two years 
			before the first “swine flu” outbreak in Mexico City in 
			April2009 in a location about 50 kilometers from a Baxter facility.
 Baxter’s Vaccine Patent Application US 
			2009/0060950 A1 gives “Kistner et al” as the applicant 
			for the patent for the H1N1 vaccine that was provisionally filed on 
			August 28, 2007.
 
 Also Kistner is an advisor to
			
			WHO
			and took part in the WHO meeting in Geneva 2005 on the
			
			Evaluation and Development of Influenza 
			Pandemic Vaccines.
 
 It was WHO which supplied Baxter with the live bird flu virus that 
			Baxter used to contaminate 72 kilos of vaccine material, sending it 
			to 16 labs in four countries, nearly sparking a pandemic in 
			February.

			Baxter Files Swine Flu Vaccine Patent

 Barack Opharma issues the ultimate bad news during his weekly 
			Friday night bad news dump:
			
			Legal immunity set for swine flu vaccine 
			makers 17 Jul 2009.
 
			  
			The last time the government embarked on 
			a major vaccine campaign against a new swine flu, thousands filed 
			claims contending they suffered side effects [paralysis, death] from 
			the shots. This time, the government has already taken steps to head 
			that off.  
			  
			Vaccine makers and federal officials 
			will be immune from lawsuits that result from any new swine flu 
			vaccine, under a document signed by Secretary of Health and Human 
			Services Kathleen Sebelius, government health officials said 
			Friday.  
			  
			The document signed by Sebelius last 
			month grants immunity to those making a swine flu vaccine, under the 
			provisions of a 2006 law for public health emergencies.

				Baxter can take no more H1N1 flu vaccine 
				orders  
				16 Jul 2009 
				   
				While at least 50 governments have 
				placed orders or are negotiating with drug companies for 
				supplies of flu vaccine against the [their] fast spreading H1N1 
				strain, the lone U.S.-based maker has already taken on as much 
				as it can handle.    
				Baxter International Inc said on 
				Thursday it has taken orders from five countries, including 
				Britain, Ireland and New Zealand, for a total of 80 million 
				doses of H1N1 vaccine and will not take any more. 
					
					'Clearly we believe this demand 
					has the potential to translate into a significant 
					opportunity.'    
				
				
				Baxter 2Q Profit Up 7.9%; Full-Year 
				Guidance Raised 
				16 Jul 2009 
				  
				Baxter International Inc. posted a 
				stronger-than-expected 7.9% rise in second-quarter profit with 
				help from improved margins and product sales that continued to 
				avoid any hits from the economic downturn.    
				The medical-products maker boosted 
				its 2009 earnings guidance while saying the increase doesn't 
				reflect at this point any contribution from making a vaccine for 
				the H1N1 flu strain.    
				Baxter reported a second-quarter 
				profit of $587 million, or 96 cents a share, up from $544 
				million, or 85 cents a share, a year earlier.

				The OMFG moment of the century: 
				Illinois-based Baxter working on vaccine to 'stop' swine flu 
				outbreak in Mexico 25 Apr 2009 Specialty drug maker Baxter 
				International Inc. will work with the World Health Organization 
				to develop a vaccine that could stem [foment] an outbreak of a 
				deadly swine flu strain in Mexico.    
				Baxter spokesman Christopher Bona 
				said Saturday that the Deerfield, Ill.-based company has asked 
				the
			
			WHO 
				for a sample of the flu strain.    
				He says Baxter has patented 
				technology that allows the company to develop vaccines in half 
				the time it usually takes - about 13 weeks instead of 26.

				And an official of the World Health

				Human trial of swine flu vaccine 'soon' 
				15 Jul 2009 
				  
				The federal government has defended 
				its policy of not following the United Kingdom's lead and 
				rushing out a swine flu vaccine. Biopharmaceutical company CSL 
				will start clinical vaccine trials on 240 healthy adults in 
				Adelaide next week.    
				The vaccine is due to be rolled out 
				in October.    |
