Military and Homeland Security Dictate Who Lives And Who
Dies In A Pandemic
New report says doctors must allow elderly, weak to perish
after "trigger event"

A new report compiled by a medical "task force" comprising
physicians from prestigious universities, medical groups, the
military and government agencies has outlined that specific groups
of people should not be treated and be left to die should a flu
pandemic or other deadly disease disaster infect millions throughout
the USA.
Doctors in the pay of federal government agencies
including the Department of Homeland Security, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the Department of Health and
Human Services have concluded that the already ill, the weak,
the severely injured and the elderly will have to "forgo"
life.
According to the report, which appears in the May
edition of Chest, the medical journal of
the American College of Chest Physicians, those who won't be treated
will include:
- People older than 85.
- Those with severe trauma, which could include critical injuries
from car crashes and shootings.
- Severely burned patients older than 60.
- Those with severe mental impairment, which could include advanced
Alzheimer's disease.
- Those with a severe chronic disease, such as advanced heart
failure, lung disease or poorly controlled diabetes.
Designated hospital "triage teams" will
ultimately decide who gets treated and who is left to perish.
Dr. Asha Devereaux, lead writer of the task force
report, told the AP
"the proposed guidelines are designed to be a blueprint for
hospitals 'so that everybody will be thinking in the same way'
when (our emphasis) pandemic flu or another widespread
health care disaster hits."
"Prior to the rationing of critical care resources,
hospitals and surrounding areas must first experience a “trigger”
event that includes a declared state of emergency and lack of
critical equipment or infrastructure." the report states.
"The decision to initiate emergency mass critical
care (EMCC) must occur in conjunction with local and regional
Medical Emergency Operations Command authority and not by individual
hospitals."
"If a mass casualty critical care event were
to occur tomorrow, many people with clinical conditions that are
survivable under usual health care system conditions may have
to forgo life-sustaining interventions owing to deficiencies in
supply or staffing," the report continues.
"While the notion of rationing health care
is unpleasant, the report could help the public understand that
it will be necessary," a senior vice president at American
Hospital Association, said.

Critics and commentators have pointed out that the
proposed rules are discriminatory and effectively exclude care
for the poorest, most disadvantaged citizens in an emergency.
Others have noted that the report may set a grim
precedent for other disasters such as a repeat of a Hurricane
Katrina type situation.
We have previously reported on moves to use a disease
outbreak as justification to suspend Constitutional rights.
Last September we reported the fact that the World
Health Organization and the U.N. have been handed
control over response procedures in the event of
a pandemic outbreak in the U.S. after an agreement was signed
by President Bush at the 2007 Security and Prosperity Partnership
meeting, bypassing congressional approval.
The origins of the agreement can be traced back
to 2005, when President Bush announced a new
International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza
to a High-Level Plenary Meeting of the U.N. General Assembly,
in New York.
In
April of 2005 President Bush also added pandemic
influenza to the list of diseases for which quarantine is authorized.
China's zealous martial law tactics in dealing with
SARS, home detention, curfews, mandatory vaccinations, restriction
of travel, are the model for what could unfold in the US.
The federal blueprint for the exact same scenario
was released and picked up by the Associated
Press a year earlier in 2004.
This is a slow process of conditioning the public
to accept mandatory vaccinations and restrictions on mobility
under a rule of martial law.
The ball started rolling back in 2001 when the Model States Emergency
Health Powers Act was passed, which allows for total government
takeover of every industry, vehicle, building, location, distribution
process, you name it.
And when this flu pandemic happens who will we blame? Surely
not US scientists playing around with the deadly 1918 Spanish
flu virus at "less than the maximum level of containment"
according to the New
Scientist magazine.
