Activists allege that these two institutions have a working relationship with pharma companies. The main charge against GAVI is that it has representatives from pharmaceutical companies on its board while the PHFI accepts grants from pharma companies. “BMGF and GAVI are pushing the [vaccine] agenda with governments around the world, including India,” says Ritu Priya Mehrotra, professor of Social Medicine and Community Health and School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi. The community health activist says the biotechnology industry was pushing more and more vaccines into India and that the health ministry was not ensuring that adequate testing was done before recommending their use in government programmes.

The India Supreme Court is expected to rule on this case in October 2014, and Health Impact News will report on the verdict, since this story has not been reported at all in the mainstream media yet, to my knowledge.
The criminal charges against the HPV vaccine outside the U.S. are so numerous, it would take a completely separate article to try and cover them all. Spain, France, India, Japan, and many other countries all have pending court cases involving fraud and injuries due to the HPV vaccine. But you will not read about them in the U.S. mainstream media, which continues to report how safe the vaccine is.
Iowa State University Scientist Stands Trial for Fraud in HIV Vaccine: Cost to Taxpayers is Millions of Dollars
In June of 2014 HIV vaccine researcher Dong-Pyou Han confessed to fraudulently injecting samples of rabbit blood with human antibodies to make an experimental HIV vaccine appear to have great promise, and earn $19 million in grant money (funded by your tax dollars) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
So what was widely reported as “promising” research in developing a vaccination to prevent HIV turned out to be completely bogus. The Des Moines Register is reporting that Dr. Han has not even retained his own attorney, but is being represented by a public defender. They report:
Han was indicted in June on four felony counts of making false statements. National experts have said it’s very unusual for a researcher to face criminal charges and the possibility of prison for scientific fraud. Usually, researchers caught faking results face professional punishments, such as being fired from universities and banned from participating in government financed projects. But authorities have said Han’s fraud was particularly brazen and cost the government millions of dollars. (Source.)
This story was barely mentioned in the national mainstream media when it first broke in June, and coverage today is only at the local level.
Vaccine Manufacturer GSK Convicted of Fraud
In a case that has been covered by the mainstream media this year, British manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has been fined by the Chinese government for a record Rmb3bn (nearly $500 million) for bribing doctors to increase sales. The Wall Street Journal reports:
Five of the company’s managers, including Mark Reilly, its former top China executive, were convicted of bribery-related charges and received suspended prison sentences, a Glaxo spokesman said Friday. Glaxo still might be fined in the U.S. and U.K., and it faces several continuing investigations around the world.
Chinese authorities began investigating the company in June 2013, laying bare a tale of intrigue involving a mysterious sex tape, whistleblowers, private investigators and a culture of bribery and graft in China’s vast medical industry. (Source)
GSK markets three different vaccines in China: Hib vaccine, Influenza vaccine, Hepatitis B vaccine.
In a separate story not covered in the mainstream media earlier in 2014, the FDA warned that a GlaxoSmithKline plant in Canada that makes the flu vaccine FluLaval failed to take appropriate steps to prevent microbiological contamination of products, among other violations. (Source.)
Flu Vaccine Fraud in Europe
Europe’s biggest drugmaker Novartis had its offices in Italy searched by police in June of 2014 for information related to two flu vaccines. This one was covered by the mainstream media as Bloomberg reported:
Italian police searched two of the company’s sites as part of a probe into possible fraud related to the purchase of the vaccines by the Health Ministry, one for a pandemic in 2009, according to an e-mailed statement from the police. The police allege Novartis inflated the cost of an additive to the vaccines, known as MF59, by six-fold. (Source.)
Flu Injuries and Death Convictions in the U.S.
Most people in the U.S. do not realize that the U.S. government is forced to pay out damages to people injured and killed by vaccines on a regular, ongoing basis. The reason this is not generally known, is because the mainstream media never reports it, even though the information is public information posted every quarter on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ website.
