Excerpt:

Ten days after two steam and hydrogen explosions blew up the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, the fire that melted its core died out spontaneously. But the drama of this catastrophe still flourishes, nourished by politics, authorities, media, and interest groups of ecologists, charitable organizations, and scientists. It lives in the collective memory of the world and propagates real health, social, and economich arm to millions of people in Belarus,Russia, and the Ukraine. It is exploited in attempts to strangle the development of atomic energy, the cleanest, safest, and practically inexhaustible means to meet the world’s energy needs. The world’s uranium resources alone will suffice for the next 470,000 years (IAEA 2008).

Widespread illness has been observed in children in the Yaroslav Oblast
following immunization with tickborne encephalitis (TBE) vaccine. The
vaccine in question is named “Encevir” and has been temporarily withdrawn
from use due to high rates of adverse reactions. The regional
administration of Rospotrebnadzor [the Russian equivalent of a health
protection agency] has stated that adverse reactions affected 70 children
and 10 adults. 49 cases were assessed as moderately affected and the
remainder as mildly affected. Encevir is a product of the Russian
Federation company Microgen, which is based in Tomsk. Currently only a
vaccine of German origin is in use and there have been no complaints
following its use.

Meanwhile tick activity is increasing and has resulted in 750 tick attacks
including 102 attacks on children. 2 suspected TBE cases have been
hospitalized. By contrast, only 56 tick attacks were registered during the
same period of last year [2009]. The risk of infection after tick attack is
proportional to the duration of blood sucking. Transmission is negligible
during the first 24 hours, whereas by 72 hours transmission of infection
occurs in almost 100 per cent of cases. Epidemiologists warn that the risk
of tick attack is increasing and it is not safe even in suburban parks
within Moscow.
