Swine flu, Bird flu ‘never happened’

January 25, 2010 - Swine flu is under scrutiny once again as pharmaceutical companies are being accused of hyping up a false pandemic. The Council of Europe is putting the virus on its winter agenda which is now underway. The Council of Europe’s Head of Health also claims the World Health Organisation colluded with major drug companies and changed the definition of pandemic.
