Federal government purchases two million doses of smallpox drug

Federal government purchases two million doses of smallpox drug in preparation for bioterrorism attack.

(NaturalNews) First it was millions of servings of long-term storable
food. Then it was billions of rounds of high-powered ammunition and
thousands of tank-like armored vehicles. Now the occupying powers of the
U.S. federal government are stockpiling millions of doses of smallpox
medication in alleged preparation for a potential "bioterrorism attack,"
according to The New York Times (NYT).

Even though
smallpox was supposedly eradicated back in 1980, with the only known
remaining virus currently being held in government-owned laboratories,
Big Brother has contracted with Siga Technologies, a small
vaccine and antiviral drug company, to produce two million doses of an
antiviral drug known as Arestvyr, which is administered following a
viral infection.

The $463 million order, which was made by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS), is allegedly enough to contain a smallpox outbreak in a large
American city, according to Robin Robinson, Director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). However, if an outbreak were to occur nationwide, the government would need 12 million doses.

But according to Dr. Richard H. Ebright, a bio-weapons expert from Rutgers University
in New Jersey, the two million-dose order is excessive because the U.S.
government already has about 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine in
its strategic reserve. This number is astounding, considering that back
in 2001, the federal government possessed a mere 15 million doses of smallpox vaccine.

"Is
it appropriate to stockpile it? Absolutely," Dr. Ebright is quoted as
saying to the NYT about the purchase. "Is it appropriate to stockpile
two million doses? Absolutely not. Twenty thousand seems like the right
number."

Not surprisingly, Dr. Eric A. Rose, President of Siga and Vice President of the holding company owned by Siga's
multi-billion dollar owner, believes the two million-dose order is
appropriate. He has even come out in defense of the $200-per-dose price
the government paid for the drug with taxpayer dollars.


Arestvyr is not FDA-approved, has never been safety tested on humans


Despite all the glowing endorsements for Arestvyr, which some are
claiming will "save lives" in the event of a pandemic, the drug has
never been approved for use in humans by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). In fact, Arestvyr has never even been tested in humans at all,
according to the NYT, because smallpox has already been eradicated in
humans.

This means that, should the government one day declare a
smallpox or other pandemic, whether real or fictional, millions of
Americans will instantly become human guinea pigs for a drug
that has never been shown to be safe, let alone effective. Even claims
surrounding the benefits of Arestvyr in mitigating damage caused by the
smallpox vaccine itself are bunk, as those who recovered the drug were
admittedly also given other treatments in conjunction with it.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation advisor says entire US could be vaccinated for smallpox in three days


But none of this has caused anyone of prominence in the U.S. government
to bat an eye, as preparations are being made right now to administer
this costly drug to millions of people without proper safety testing.
Plans are also apparently in the works to vaccinate the entire U.S. for
smallpox, even though the vaccine has been shown to trigger harmful side
effects such as encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain.

"If we had to, we could vaccinate the entire country in three days," gloated Dr. William H. Foege, an advisor to the infamous Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and perpetrator of the universal smallpox vaccine fraud.
