Bird flu conspiracy

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is the first emerging epidemic of the 21st century.
And while SARS had a mortality rate of around 15%, H5N1 kills up to a third of the people it infects. It has gone through huge genetic changes and become more pathogenic.
A a series of recombination expanded its host range.

Indonesia has reported 126 cases of H5N1 bird flu, 104 of them fatal, since 2005.

With death count of nearly half the world total, Indonesia is the new hotspot for the virus.
According to the new book written by Indonesian Health Minister, Dr Siti Fadilah Supari, United States and the World Health Organization are part of a global conspiracy to profit from the spread of SARS and H5N1 .
She also claims that US laboratories are trying to create new biological weapons, as some samples ended up in US Defense Department laboratory: "some of our seed viruses had been in a laboratory known as a facility developing biological weapons in a superpower country".
As the nation worst hit by bird flu Indonesia has held back its virus samples since August 2007, and is still asking for guarantees from richer nations and drug makers that poor countries will get access to affordable vaccines derived from their samples.
Sharing samples is vital for research on virus mutation, and to see if the virus became drug resistant or grown more transmissible.
Even though Dr. Supari has agreed to share virus samples, Indonesia is still blocking sharing samples from human victims. They have also refused to send more than 200 samples from chickens to Australian laboratory.
In her new book Dr. Supari's said that the WHO laboratories are forwarding influenza viruses to Western companies so they could profit by selling vaccines back to developing countries: "The system of world health management has been very exploitative. It has been controlled by inhumanly desires, based on the greediness to raise capital and to control the world."
Dr. David Heyemann of the World Health Organization said "By not sharing viruses, Indonesia is putting in danger its own population because if those viruses are not freely shared with industry, vaccines will not contain the elements of the Indonesia infections."
The President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, supports Supari's claim that the virus is under control, stating the "occurrence rate and the number of affected areas are decreasing".
A spokesman for Who Laboratories refused to comment the book or the virus-sharing saying: "This matter is a sensitive case at present."
US officials were not available for any comments on the subject.
