This is a quote from an article published at Talk Radio News February 2 2010:

'The World Health Organization (WHO) is caught up in yet another scandal following a Council of Europe investigation into whether health experts raised the “scare” level for the H1N1/ Swine Flu virus last year. The allegations were presented at a hearing in Strasbourg from January 25-29. The Council suggests the WHO Emergency Committee, which has been at the center of this recent debacle, had insider interest to help boost sales for pharmaceutical companies including Novartis, Cadila and BioSante–to name a few.

The names of the 18-member WHO Emergency Committee that act as advisers on the swine flu are closely being kept secret by the organization. It is alleged by Council of Europe investigators, specifically Dr. Wodarg, Honorary Member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe– the WHO, by upgrading the status of the flu to a pandemic, has been directly involved in boosting multi-billion dollar business deals for pharmaceutical companies that have links to its members. 

Since the virus was upgraded to a pandemic on the 11th of June in 2009, pharmaceutical companies have sold billions of dollars worth of vaccines worldwide.

“The WHO basically held the trigger for the implementation of the pandemic preparedness plans and with this for high revenues for the involved producers of pandemic vaccines and some antiviral drugs. The WHO by its decision to announce the pandemic therefore had a key role to play. By its announcement, it also decided on expenditures to be made from national budgets worldwide, which, according to analysts, amount to 18 billion USD. '
