Dear Friends,

Alicia has authorised this reply to go out to all,
in response to the posturing by Byrne and Brussels.

I agree with Alicia – the vaccines are there right
now, does it really take another 4 years to get the
show on the road and £40million. The hellish
slaughter in 2001 went ahead on pathetic scientific
advice based on shoddy 'models' that have been
proven to be mickey-mouse and were NOT VALIDATED.
Like the Blair's war, very "iffy" mandates to kill.

Dear Bryn,

If you want to send this to all please do – it is up
to you – I hope what I say can be proved wrong but I
fear it can't!!

'Emergency vaccination' doesn't add up to a row of
beans.

I am sorry to say that, but whatever Byrne says
about 'emergency vaccination' it adds up to no
change – at the most, vaccination to curb the
infection. This will inevitable lead to the
slaughter of the vaccinated animals as happened in
Holland in the last outbreak.

Why? Because 'those in charge' continue to
procrastinate about the science available and
continue to do nothing about VALIDATING the existing
tests for showing the difference between vaccinated
animals and naturally infected animals – the famous
carrier animal syndrome.

To get on and make a supreme international effort to
validate those tests was the biggest 'Instruction'
'Decision' (call it what you will) to come out of
the Brussels FMD December Conference, I know because
I was there as a delegate.

But as ever everything has come to nought – nothing
is achieved except a mountain of 'Reports' leading
nowhere. Showing once again what an APPALLING waste
of time and money these, show case, 'tremendously
important ' conferences are.

As is obvious absolutely NO lesson have been learned
at all, except to continue to test out the efficacy
of that very useful one, how to bluff the public
into believing otherwise. Like so much on so many
political subjects but in this case FMD, the same
people win all the time by working very hard at
doing nothing.
Alicia
