Vaccines for cholera in Haiti also does not address the other diseases possible, previously even more likely, by means of not solving the waste treatment and safe water infrastructure. Moreover,
"Cholera vaccine is not supposed to be given at the same time as polio vaccine in children under 10. So that has forced Partners in Health and GHESKIO to defer cholera vaccination in 9-and-under children until after they've received polio vaccine, and then to track them down and give them the cholera vaccine." -Vaccination Against Cholera Finally Begins In Haiti
If the Washington Post board wishes to write a legitimate editorial, it ought to write an editorial in context and based on the complex reality of the situation.
It ought to examine why poverty-pimping Paul Farmer is giving cholera vaccines in St. Marc where a world renowned epidemiologist, who is an actual cholera EXPERT say there is NO CHOLERA? ( Piarroux: Haiti Epidemic Could Be Gone in Months, Vaccination Target St Marc Has No Cholera.)
The Washington Post ought to write about how Paul Farmer of Partners in Health (PIH), dubbed by some Haitians as "Partners in Death," completely fabricated the story he is "flat broke and has to go out and seek funding for cholera vaccines. He (says he) finds this ridiculous that he is forced to do this. But his balance sheet shows $64 million in liquid assets (cash/stocks). Double what it was in 2009. This is the classic charade played by the NGO's on the good hearted people of the world. " (Quoted from http://bit.ly/IMCZF8 . Hard copy of PIH 2011 and 2010 Consolidated Financial Statement at http://bit.ly/Ipo6Ji & 2009 HIP Form 220 at http://bit.ly/JFxcVQ .)
For Farmer's "Partners in Death," collecting on Haiti's foreign imposed misery is an industry. Like all the NGO-lifers, poverty-pimp Farmer gets his reputation, prestige, power and makes his living peddling the victims of the US-Euro one-percenters and victims of US-Euro warmongering, narcissism, invasions, perverted elections, corporate welfare, false aid, unfair trade, imposed hunger, diseases, land/resource-grabbing and containment-in-poverty.
"One would be hard put to find a more fitting metaphor than cholera for the aid given and its end result. Indeed cholera has appeared in Haiti, Afghanistan, and the DRC." --Dady Chery, Foreign Aid, Foreign Wastes. (See also, Clinical Megalomania sold as humanitarian intervention at Corruption uninterrupted in Haiti.)
Paul Farmer is not a cholera expert. Experts on cholera object to the waste of resources in Haiti with ineffective vaccines.
Under President Preval the Haitian Ministry of Health rejected cholera vaccinations. The Haiti Ministry under Martelly had an ethics committee that initially blocked the Farmer cholera vaccination as "experimental."
But, despite the fact that Sanchol was not approved by WHO at the start of the outbreak, was rejected by two Haiti health ministers, held back by one Haiti ethic committee, was initially rejected by the CDC/PAHO, then given "cautious approval", despite all this, the powerful Dr. Farmer - who is Deputy UN Envoy behind only Haiti proconsul, Bill Clinton - managed to reverse Haiti government objections, PAHO/WHO objections and relieved his power on the cholera victims as laboratory rats for his Partners in Death.
Farmer's project cost a reported $1.3 million. The American Red Cross contributed $1 million, Hillary Clinton's USAID apparently supported part of the cost.
Dr. Piarroux who points out that there is NO CHOLERA in Saint Marc where the Farmer group supposedly administered vaccine to 50,000 Haitians further points out that if the international will truly existed, cholera could be eradicated in Haiti in MONTHS.
Thing is, if UN-imported Haiti cholera was eradicated immediately this would not make enough monies and work for the 42,000 charitable organizations "helping" Haiti, nor allow for the perpetual NGO dependency and US occupation behind UN guns.
Ending UN cholera immediately would give the career do-gooders with for-profit-hotel plans in Haiti, no excuse for their feeding frenzy, money laundering, tax evasions. Ending Haiti cholera quickly would take the benevolent industry's most currently profitable Haiti reason to gain further access and useful career contacts with key corporatocracy stakeholders at big pharma, at the UN, WHO, PAHO, State Department, at the World Bank , or to better tap Wall Street venture capitalist foundation monies, hang out on the red carpet in Cannes with Sean Penn raising funds (for Haiti cholera victims?).
Recall folks, President Obama nominated Farmer's partner and PIH co-founder, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, to head the World Bank.
God forbid UN-imported cholera to Haiti should quickly end, taking away defenseless Black Haiti bodies for testing new pharma products, or for fueling the good doctor's next, best selling Tracey Kidder Tarzan narrative. That's simply an unthinkable prospect.
Farmer's Shanchol oral cholera vaccines supposedly were given, last month, to only 1% of the population, half of that 1% was in a place where there was no cholera to begin with. That should tell the Washington Post about the intentions of these foreign health organizations to combat and have an expeditious effect on an epidemic where 5% or 550,000 of the population are infected by foreign feces.
