However, while this may seem like good news on the surface, there is a bit of recent stained credibility that follows Baxter’s reputation and has effectively colored the company as worthless for the public who are in the know. While the United States corporate controlled media sat on this story, it was reported elsewhere in the world from Canada, Austria, the UK and Japan.
Apparently, in March 2009 Baxter sent flu vaccine that was “accidentally” contaminated with Avian Bird Flu to 18 different countries . The contaminated product, a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses and unlabeled H5N1 viruses, was supplied to an Austrian research company. The Austrian firm, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then sent portions of it to sub-contractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany.
Baxter hasn’t shed much light — at least not publicly — on how the accident happened. Earlier this week Bona called the mistake the result of a combination of “just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure.”
He said he couldn’t reveal more information because it would give away proprietary information about Baxter’s production process. 8561066.html

Parents in America take for granted that they have the right to raise their child as they see fit. Except in cases of severe, proved abuse or neglect, the government does not interfere. In those cases where it does, local government agencies work to protect the child while at the same time providing ample opportunity for the parent to regain or maintain parenting control.
That could change, if the United Nations Children’s Rights treaty is signed by President Barack Obama. It was brought to the table during the Clinton administration, and defeated, though narrowly. It’s back.
If passed, the treaty would ban homeschool and private school options, require sex and drug education without the parental right to opt their child out, give children the right to challenge any parenting decision in court, forbid parents from deciding their child’s religion or religious observances, make all forms of corporal punishment illegal, prevent minors under the age of 18 from being tried as adults under any circumstances, allow minors to obtain birth control and/or abortions without parental notification or consent, and give ultimate authority over any parenting decisions to the UN.
Christians aren’t the only ones affected by this! Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Budhists, Wiccans, Agnostics, Atheists, and everyone that I left out – your faith is being threatened too. You would be forbidden under this treaty to raise your child according to your faith – whatever it happens to be. If your child doesn’t want to attend religious observances, s/he can take you to court and allow the United Nations to decide if doing so is in “the best interest of the child” or not.
This is the ultimate issue of sovereignty. Hitler knew that the way to control a country completely was to teach the children according to the nazi doctrines. The Hitler Youth Organization was a testament to the success of this theory. The United Nations is now taking this concept to a global level, removing all parenting authority from parents and placing it in the hands of a single world-wide governing body.
Interestingly, the treaty says nothing of parental responsibility. Presumably, parents would still be responsible for decisions made by their minor children – even if they have no authority to control such decisions.
Who should bear the ultimate responsibility for raising a child – the parents, or the government?
