Die Helden aus Stolberg
Posted by Ivo Cerckel on April 27th, 2009
Im Jahre 1957, haben die Aufsichtsbehörden in einigen Ländern Contergan auf den Markt erlaubt.
30. April/1. Mai 1960:
Auf einem Neurologen-Kongress in Düsseldorf berichtet der Neurologe Ralf Voss über die Nervenschädigungen, die seinen Beobachtungen zufolge durch Thalidomid verursacht werden. (1)
Die Aufsichtsbehörden haben nichts getan.
Es war der Firma Grünenthal, der Hersteller von Contergan in Stolberg, Aachen, die die Initiative zu ergreifen hatte um Contergan vom Markt zu nehmen
26. November 1961:
Die Zeitung “Welt am Sonntag” veröffentlicht den Artikel “Missgeburten durch Tabletten? Alarmierender Verdacht eines Arztes gegen ein weitverbreitetes Medikament”. (1)
27. November 1961:
Die Firma Grünenthal kündigt in einem Telegramm an das Düsseldorfer Innenministerium an, ihre Thalidomid-Präparate im In- und Ausland sofort aus dem Handel zu nehmen. (1)
Ja, ich weiß,
Grünenthal wusste vor dem 1. Mai 1960, dass Contergan wurde eine teratogene, d.h., dass Contergan Monster schafft.
Aber
die Aufsichtsbehörden wusste, dass es nach diesem Zeitpunkt auch.

Regulators stopped the sale of thalidomide only after international outcries? The whistle on thalidomide was blown at a congress of neurologists on 30 April - 1st May 1960 in Duesseldorf. The regulators who had allowed thalidomide did not do anything. The regulators allowed Gruenenthal, the maker of thalidomide, to wait 18 months until 27 November 1961 to take the initiative (the initiative was thus taken by Gruenenthal, not by the regulators) to withdraw thalidomide from Europe.

1958 he was the Minister Of Health and a bad one and a racist. He was told by Australian Doctors to stop the drug Thalidomide and he wouldn’t and caused a lot more Thalidomide children to be born. He was warned about it in 1958 he didnt stop it until 1962.

IVO:
Suzie, the whistle on thalidomide was blown at a congress of neurologists on 30 April - 1st May 1960 in Duesseldorf. Australian obstetrician Dr William McBride first warned against thalidomide only in 1961. Thalidomide was only taken from the market on 27 November 1961, that is 18 months after the Duesseldorf congress. It was taken from the market not by the regulators who had allowed it in the first place, but by its manufacturer, Gruenenthal GmbH in Stolberg, Aachen.

The Welfare State needed thalidomide to be instituted, at least for its alleged necessity to be confirmed. The Welfare State is not even able to allow thalidomiders to survive. Thalidomide was created by the Nazis, reported The Sunday Times on 08 February 2009.

Ivo:
Why do you think I am no longer living in Belgium, one of Western Europe’s people’s republics which allowed thalidomide and then acquitted the murderers of a thalidomide monster?
In 1962, a Belgian woman was found not guilty of murdering her thalidomide baby
[Ivo: probably born after 01 May 1960].
There was much celebration in Liège when she and her co-accused - her mother, sister, husband and the family doctor - walked free.

The heroes from Stolberg prevented the bureaucrats from instituting a complete police state.
The bureaucrats have now created the swine flu.
Back to the Middle Ages!
Their only interest is knowing which stocks are up and which are down.
The perverts are still trying to institute their police state.
Who are those perverts?
The WHO, the World Health Organisation.
The World Health Organisation?
Yes, for the WHO, physical integrity does not form part of health.
Who are the real pigs?

Yes, Mr Stock, let’s fight together against Leviathan, aka the pigs.

Aachen. Der Aachener Arzneimittel-Hersteller Grünenthal will die Conterganopfer bei der Suche nach weiteren Geldgebern für die Conterganstiftung unterstützen.
Das teilte der Bundesverband Contergangeschädigter am Dienstag nach dem ersten Treffen mit dem neuen Konzernchef Harald F. Stock mit. Grünenthal «empfinde Verantwortung», weitere Zustiftungen zur Verbesserung der Lebenssituation der Betroffenen zu organisieren.

Yesterday when I found this Aachener Zeitung, AZ-WEB.DE, article, there were already three readers’ comments.
This morning not one and no possibility any longer to comment on the article.
Firefox says “connecting to comments” and then “done” and no comments.
Explorer does not say anything and no comments.

Why the regulators were so relaxed about thalidomide (after 01 May 1960)?

Swine flu deflation

The markets have been remarkably relaxed about the rise in the World health Organization pandemic alert Phase 4 (sustained human to human transmission) - and tonight perhaps to Phase 5.
They seem not to care that confirmed cases of H1N1 avian-swine flu have spread to Israel, Spain, France, New Zealand, and Korea.

It’s not me who says “This surprises me”.
It’s Mr Evans-Pritchard.

I said in reaction 5, April 28th, 2009 at 10:13 pm,
that the bureaucrats’ only interest is knowing which stocks are up and which are down.
Now I said in reaction 8, April 29th, 2009 at 8:54 am,
that the markets don’t care about the bureaucrats’ warnings.
Wait, time will resolve this contradiction.
We may even not have to wait much longer.
Here’s Another snip from Mr Evans-Pritchard’s column:
We can all argue about the likely damage from a “severe pandemic” along the lines of 1918 Spanish Flu’ or the Neapolitan pandemic of 1775.
The World Bank has floated a figure of $3 trillion, or 4.8pc of global GDP. The US Congressional Budget Office has come up with something similar. These are arbitrary telephone book numbers. UNSNIP
Ivo:
Yes, the World Bank that’s the sister organisation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Bastards! (and I don’t apologise for this qualification.)
