There is not much argument any more, about the dangers
of MRSA st398 (cc398) to humans or its presence in pig herds.
Apart from in Britain where corrupt government veterinarians
continue to cover-up MRSA st398 in pigs and provide inadequate information on protection to
the hospitals.
Interestingly, a complicated row broke out yesterday about
secrecy over health threats. The British government admitted keeping information on
pandemic threats secret, despite transparency obligations. The excuse seems to
be to prevent panics.
Critics suggest that it is to protect crooked backs.
The Dutch
don’t panic, the Germans don’t panic, the Americans don’t panic, all admitting
MRSA st398 in their pig herds.
Does anyone seriously suggest the British would panic?
The public might decide the culprits need dragging before the
Courts. That might cause a panic.
