After pointing out that the vaccine has been very badly developed, Dr Girard declared: “Let’s take the pessimistic hypothesis: one death among every 1000 patients. There are plans to vaccinate 60 million people, and you so you already have 60,000 deaths, and this time, young people, children, pregnant women.”
On the same broadcast Dr Girard also said: “I am a medical specialist and I am against medicines that have no purpose. This vaccine is not just badly developed: it is not developed!”
On Swine flu: Is it serious doc?, which was televised on France 24 international news back in July, Dr Girard said the World Health Organisation (WHO) has “a tendency to overreact” and he pointed out that it is very difficult to say for sure whether swine flu was the actual cause of death in cases where people have died.
He added that it is very difficult to make predictions for the virus and that he thought that the vaccine will be as dangerous when it comes to fatalities as the swine flu itself.
Dr Albert Osterhaus, Head of Virology Department at the University of Rotterdam, and another guest on the programme, did not agree with Dr Girard on this.
