As winter flu sweeps across eastern Europe, a Russian MP blames America for it


Communist party official demands Russian secret services investigate “American biological warfare” as flu epidemic sweeps eastern Europe

A Russian MP has accused the United States of releasing a winter flu epidemic currently sweeping the country, in what he claimed is an unprecedented act of germ warfare.
Vadim Sovolyov, a member of the Russian communist party, has called on the country’s secret services to investigate the possibility that American agents deliberately spread this year’s seasonal outbreak of the virus.
“This wave [of flu] came from Ukraine. And I don’t rule out that it was specifically the Americans there who kicked off this situation, launching such a war against our country,” Mr Sovolyov told Russian News Service radio in Moscow.
“I think such a time has arrived, and we will send requests to the the ministry of health, the general prosecutor’s office, and possibly the FSB, asking them to use their own channels to seriously investigate, because this violates all acceptable norms,” he added.
Mr Sovolyov also claimed the United States has been waging a years-long germ warfare programme against Cuba from the US naval base at Guantanamo bay.

The United States has not publicly responded to the comments.
An outbreak of the A-H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu, has killed dozens of people across eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union over the past two months, including 18 people in Armenia and at least 50 in Ukraine.
Infections officially reached “epidemic” proportions in St Petersburg, where some 30 people are believed to have died, on January 22.
Moscow declared its own epidemic on Tuesday.

Russian health officials have advised vulnerable people to take precautions like avoiding public transport and wearing face masks, and urged people to get flu jabs every year. No qualified practitioner has linked the outbreak to a foreign power.
The H1N1 virus, a form of flu that is particularly damaging to younger, healthy people, swept the globe in a worldwide pandemic that is believed to have killed 200,000 people in 2009.
Since then it has become one of three main strains of flu virus that circulate seasonally amongst humans.
Russian public health experts have said those who have died were not vaccinated.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) says the current outbreak does not resemble the 2009 pandemic in scale or deadliness.
