Excuse me Tim Roberts, what was that you said?....

In reply to
FYI - Vaccine makes us laughing stock: Vet

Is it any wonder Mr Roberts lost his credibility, have you read his document called


'A MEANS TO CONTAIN AND ERADICATE “EQUINE INFLUENZA” FROM AUSTRALIA'

If not, try this link

An extract from the above document:


Proposed CISI Policy
Containment, Isolation and Selective Inoculation Policy (CISI) is a modification to the current containment policy, under which the horse industry in Australia will be able to resume relatively normal business within 21 days of implementation. However, there will be some constraints (The Containment Area must remain quarantined from rest of Australia until cleared of EI) but normal business should be able to resume within the Containment Zone with immediate effect. At the same time eradication is attainable.

For CISI to work, the authorities and industry participants will need to disregard state borders (as being the containment zones), and treat the containment zone in New South Wales and Queensland as one and the same.

CISI Policy only becomes viable because of the live recombinant vector vaccine. In this vaccine the Canarypox virus carries the EI virus antigents. (ProteqFlu). The principal of this vaccine is that the EI component of this vaccine is inactivated and only selected genes from the EI virus into live infectious but non disease causing Canarypox Virus.

The CISI policy is simple to apply, unlikely to fail and economically viable and the one most likely to get the whole NSW and Queensland horse industries back into full operational mode in the shortest period possible. We must be reminded that one of the biggest employers in both NSW and Queensland is on its knees.If the currently proposed zonal vaccination program fails we would have a devastating setback and could even push the industry over the brink.
.....and now he's saying


"We are the laughing stock of the world over this," Roberts told the Sydney Morning Herald."Why do we have to use the genetically modified vaccine?"Roberts claims Australia has been far too slow in responding with any effective measures and maintained the use of "killed" vaccine would have been a much better option.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit! Excuse me for thinking he's tooting his own horn, its hard enough to sort out the wheat from the chaff in this nightmare and if self proclaimed experts go changing their views so radically one has to become cynical as to their own agenda. Try Googling his name and see who his big clients are....


Three cheers for Heath Ryan while I'm here!!!
