The Maya of Pandemics
Excuse to meddle
NDM-1 (New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase 1) superbug story is too much like ‘AIDS-started-in-Africa’ kind of hoax.
While Hong-Kong and China were being targeted for swine-flu, the real story lay, South of USA, in a US-owned slaughter house.
An 86-year-old Ontario man was found to be carrying bacteria resistant to most antibiotics because of NDM-1, or New Delhi metallo-1, an enzyme that alters the DNA of various types of bacteria. NDM-1 is endemic in India and Pakistan and has spread worldwide due to global travel.
But the patient, who was admitted to hospital and then a rehabilitation centre after suffering a stroke last October, had not travelled outside southwestern Ontario for the last decade. None of the man’s family members or other close contacts were carrying the superbug, nor had any been to parts of the world where NDM-1 is widespread.
“So it’s really unfortunately a mystery in terms of his source, and it certainly suggests that he acquired it here in the southwestern Ontario region,” said Dr. Susan Poutanen, an infectious disease physician at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
“So whether it was in Toronto, whether it was outside of Toronto, whether it was in hospital or whether it was in the community, at this point we really can’t say,” added Poutanen, principal investigator of a study describing the case. (via Case of NDM-1 superbug appears to be first acquired within Canada: researchers | 05/30/2011 | Sheryl Ubelacker, Health Reporter | The Canadian Press).
Another hot-air balloon
For the last two years, India was held responsible for this ‘creation’. First detected and peddled by British ‘scientists’, this super-bug ‘discovery’ is hogging media attention.
Western medical science trying to show certainty and assurance, where none can be possible (currently), uses these tools for propaganda purposes. Truth maybe real victim of methodology.
Maya it is.
