Subject: ALERT - Baxter Pharmaceuticals "Accident" contaminates vaccines with Avian Flu (H5N1) combined with H3N2 - creating worldwide Pandemic Alert

It may be a good idea to avoid getting innoculated (human or animal) with any flu vaccines for awhile unless you can determine if the vaccine was made by Baxter Pharmaceuticals.

Apparently Baxter Pharmaceuticals has "accidentally" mixed live Avian FluÂ (H5N1 and H3N2)Â into some of their vaccines, which were then shipped to medical distributors in 18 countries. Â This was "discovered" by Baxter on February 6, 2009 but they don't say what steps they've taken to remedy the situation, nor what countries are involved, nor which vaccine is involved. Â

The problem is that combining these two (H5N1 and H3N2) results in the Avian Flu being easily assimilated into the human and animal bodies.

Baxter Pharmaceuticals issued a press release but isn't talking about the incident - they are using the cover that it is "proprietary information." Â

Baxter says the infected vaccines were meant to be used on animals - not humans.

The World Health Organization and the European Centere for Disease Control are reportedly watching the situation very closely (as reported in Canadian Press).

Please read the Canadian Health article (quoted below)Â for the best information about this which I've been able to find.

Other aspects of the world press, based on what Baxter is willing to say, reports that 18 of Baxter's lab employees were seen and treated with TamiFlu for avian flu exposure, that the vaccine killed live ferrets (who weren't supposed to die), caused laboratories to be sanitized, and that the vaccine was shipped to subcontractors in 4 countries: Â Austria, German, Slowenia, and the Czech Republic, who in turn may have shipped it to medical distributors in 18 countries (those countries as yet unnamed). Â This was all discovered in early February but Baxter still doesn't want to release new information on it.

Canada Health reports that 36 or 37 people were exposed, and that Baxter became aware of the problem on February 6th when innoculated ferrets died at the Czech facility. Â

("Ferrets are susceptible to human flu strains, but they don't die from those infections. Â Preliminary investigation found the material was contaminated with H5N1 flu virus, which is lethal to ferrets.") Â

The World Health Organization is reportedly recommending that world governments stock up on and use Baxter's H5N1 Avian Flu vaccine to protect against the Avian Flu pandemic which may be created by Baxter's accidental release of this contaminated. Â

Speculation abounds that Baxter's "inexplicable accidental release" may result in Baxter making huge profits from the sales of its H5N1 Avian Flu Vaccine around the world to protect against what Baxter themselves has somehow unleashed.

I found some confirming non-alarmist but highly questioning articles for this :

Bloomberg.com had the article (shown by Google) but has pulled it from its website, yet the Bloomberg article is referred to extensively in other articles. Â Here's the Bloomberg article as reprinted from another site, which apparently is the Baxter International press release:

Baxter International Inc. in Austria unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in three neighboring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease.

The contamination was discovered when ferrets at a laboratory in the Czech Republic died after being inoculated with vaccine made from the samples early this month. The material came from Deerfield, Illinois-based Baxter, which reported the incident to the Austrian Ministry of Health, Sigrid Rosenberger, a ministry spokeswoman, said today in a telephone interview.

"This was infected with a bird flu virus," Rosenberger said. "There were some people from the company who handled it."

The material was intended for use in laboratories, and none of the lab workers have fallen ill. The incident is drawing scrutiny over the safety of research using the H5N1 bird flu strain that's killed more than three-fifths of the people known to have caught the bug worldwide. Some scientists say the 1977 Russian flu, the most recent global outbreak, began when a virus escaped from a laboratory.

The virus material was supposed to contain a seasonal flu virus and was contaminated after "human error," said Christopher Bona, a spokesman for Baxter, in a telephone interview. (Michelle Fay Cortez and Jason Gale,Â Bloomberg )

Officials investigate how bird flu viruses were sent to unsuspecting labs
Provided by: Canadian Press
Written by: Medical Reporter, THE CANADIAN PRESS
Feb. 25, 2009

Officials are trying to get to the bottom of how vaccine manufacturer Baxter International Inc. made "experimental virus material" based on a human flu strain but contaminated with the H5N1 avian flu virus and then distributed it to an Austrian company.

That company, Avir Green Hills Biotechnology, then disseminated the supposed H3N2 virus product to subcontractors in the Czech Republic, Slovenia and Germany. Authorities in the four European countries are looking into the incident, and their efforts are being closely watched by the World Health Organization and the European Centre for Disease Control.

Though it appears none of the 36 or 37 people who were exposed to the contaminated product became infected, the incident is being described as "a serious error" on the part of Baxter, which is on the brink of securing a European licence for an H5N1 vaccine. That vaccine is made at a different facility, in the Czech Republic.

"For this particular incident ... the horse did not get out (of the barn)," Dr. Angus Nicoll of the ECDC said from Stockholm.

"But that doesn't mean that we and WHO and the European Commission and the others aren't taking it as seriously as you would any laboratory accident with dangerous pathogens - which you have here."

Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses - if that indeed happened - could have resulted in dire consequences. Nicoll said officials still aren't 100 per cent sure the mixture contained live H5N1 viruses. But given that ferrets exposed to the mixture died, it likely did.

H5N1 doesn't easily infect people, but H3N2 viruses do. They are one of two types of influenza A viruses that infect people each flu season.

If someone exposed to the mixture had been co-infected with H5N1 and H3N2, the person could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people. That mixing process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.

Research published last summer by scientists at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control found that in the laboratory, H5N1 and H3N2 viruses mated readily. While less virulent than H5N1, a number of the offspring viruses appeared to retain at least a portion of the killing power of their dangerous parent.

Baxter International, which is based in Deerfield, Ill., said the contamination was the result of an error in its research facility in Orth-Donau, Austria.

The facility had been contracted by Avir Green Hills to make what Baxter refers to as "experimental virus material" based on human H3N2 viruses.

Christopher Bona, Baxter's director of global bioscience communications, said the liquid virus product was not a vaccine and was developed for testing purposes only. He deferred questions about the purpose of the testing to Avir Green Hills, but said the batch was to be used in animals and was never intended for use in humans.

Avir Green Hills said in an email that it took possession of the material in late December. It later sent the product to the sub-contractors. The email said the material was stored and handled throughout under high biosafety conditions.

Alarm bells rang in early February when researchers at the Czech sub-contractor inoculated ferrets with the material and the animals promptly died. Baxter learned about the problem on Feb. 6, Bona said from Deerfield.

Ferrets are susceptible to human flu strains, but they don't die from those infections. Preliminary investigation found the material was contaminated with H5N1 flu virus, which is lethal to ferrets.

Nicoll said the fact the ferrets died supports the working assumption that there were live H5N1 viruses in the material Baxter produced.

Bona said Baxter has identified how the contamination happened and has taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again. He said Austrian authorities audited Baxter's Orth-Donau research operations after the problem came to light and are satisfied with the steps taken.

Baxter is the only flu vaccine manufacturer to work with wild type flu viruses, felt to be more dangerous than the altered and attenuated (weakened) viruses other manufacturers use.

The company uses what is known as BSL3 level precautions in all its vaccine research facilities, Bona said. (Researchers at the U.S. CDC use BSL3-plus biocontainment when working with H5N1 viruses, a spokesperson for the agency said.)

People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses have somehow co-mingled in the Baxter research facility. That should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.

The company isn't shedding much light on how it did.

"It was a combination of just the process itself, (and) technical and human error in this procedure," Bona said. When asked to elaborate, he said to do so would give away proprietary information about Baxter's production process.

Bona said when Baxter realized its error, it helped the various companies destroy the contaminated material and clean up their facilities. And staff who had been exposed to the contaminated product were assessed and monitored by infectious diseases doctors. They were also offered the antiviral drug oseltamivir (Tamiflu).

Baxter's error is reminiscent of a 2005 incident where a U.S. manufacturer of kits used by laboratories to test their detection capabilities included vials of H2N2 virus in several thousand proficiency kits. H2N2, the virus that caused the 1957 pandemic, has not circulated since 1968 and is thought to be a prime candidate to cause the next pandemic.

That mistake, discovered by Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory, set authorities around the world scrambling to retrieve and destroy the vials of virus, which had been sent to labs in 18 countries. close window

Baxter sends out supposedly H3N2 to a vaccine testing lab as a control virus in their challenge studies. They put that in Ferrets and oops, the ferrets die which shouldnt die from H3N2. Turns out the clean H3N2 samples were contaminated with H5N1, which kills ferrets.

What are the chances that the largest Vaccine maker in the world just spread H5N1 around the world on purpose so that a few lab geeks would get infected and then their newly licenced H5N1 vaccine would have to be bought by ever country to protect themselves?

Hmmmm

The notion that Baxter is not reporting out all the details due to propietary production secrecy needs is beyond outrageous.

Sending H5N1 contaminated virus samples to three countries should qualify as a public health incident of global concern, and the International Health Regulations should kick in.

Delaying public reporting of this potential catastrophe for weeks is unforgiveable and reprehensible.

Baxter should be forced to publicly explain every step of its investigation and findings, so that other companies, universities, and government labs can check their security processes against what went wrong at Baxter.

Let me translate what Baxter said: "We care much more about profit than about global public health. We'd rather not reveal how we might have launched the next pandemic than tell you anything about how we (mis)handled H5N1."

Who provided the H5N1 sample to Baxter? Ultimately, probably a WHO collaborating lab. WHO should immediately ban Baxter from receiving any further samples of any sort from any WHO collaborating lab -- until Baxter offers a fully candid, transparent, honest report about what happened, and until WHO, the governments, and the publics of the effected countries have no further questions or concerns about Baxter's competence and candor.

jackson: my understanding from the canadian article linked by revere is that avir green hills contracted the h3n2 from baxter, not the other way around. (from the article: "The facility had been contracted by Avir Green Hills to make what Baxter refers to as "experimental virus material" based on human H3N2 viruses.")

avir green hills is working on a seasonal and pandemic vaccine, and i believe both are live-attenuated. i find it really weird that baxter, which is a vaccine company, denies that what they shipped avir green hills, et al. was a vaccine. instead, they said it was a "liquid virus product." i have no idea what this could be.

I do not think the contaminated sample came from the US (as in the Baxter article). I think it was made at "Baxter['s] pilot plant in Orth, Austria can produce smaller quantities of candidate vaccines for clinical trials using Vero cell technology" (the bit in quotes is from a Baxter doc on their Vero cell based vaccine technology. They have a production facility "The facility, located in Bohumil, Czech Republic, is engineered for BioSafety Level 3Â production, and can produce up to 100 million doses of pandemic vaccine annually,depending on vaccine specification, dosage and yields of strains").

As explained by a Baxter spokesman the 'error' occurred in Baxter Austria and they had subcontracted some research to AGH (Austria). AGH subcontracted work on the 'experimental Vaccine' to Biotest, and others, and forwarded it on the 30th Jan. (Friday). Biotest began trials the following week by the end of which they had dead ferrets and an obvious problem. On the following Monday (11th) people were being given Tamiflu in Vienna so someone knew or suspected H5N1 exposure. First press involvement was local to Biotest in the Czech republic at the end of that week (dated 17th) and spread from their. That is the chronology as I understand it and all players thought they were dealing with H3N2 and used appropriate protocols.

None of which is very interesting, apart from a PR point of view. What we want to know is the nature of the H3N2 entity. Was it live or a vaccine, what is the nature of the H5N1 (dead ferrets and prophylactic Tamiflu so assumed live), how the two ever managed to be in the same place at the same time to allow contamination and having occurred how it then got out of the BSL3 facility and into civi street. None of which Baxter seem willing to discuss.

The H5N1 was A/Vietnam/1203/2004 which is being used by Baxter in phase 3 clinical trials in Austria (NCT00462215)
