In my 15 years of farming I have never heard the term "speckling"...I can't find a definition of what they are referring to ...anyone?
GM sugar beets found in soil mix sold to gardeners
from the organic and nongmo report
Contamination incident highlights challenges of containing GM beets
In May, genetically modified sugar beet plants were found in a soil mix sold to gardeners at a landscape supply business in Corvallis, Oregon. The contamination incident raises doubts about the ability of the sugar beet seed industry to keep GM sugar beets from contaminating non-GMO sugar beets and related plants.
Discovered in soil mix
The GM Roundup Ready sugar beet plants, called “specklings,” were found in Fertile Mix, a soil mix called sold by Pro Bark. Business owners Jeff and Julie Jackson said they had no idea the plants were in the soil mix.
An unidentified individual purchased the mix, found the sugar beet specklings, and contacted Carol Mallory-Smith, a professor of weed science at Oregon State University. Smith took samples from 10 plants, tested those using protein-based GMO “strip” tests, and found that about half tested positive for the genetically modified Roundup Ready gene.
Following the discovery, Pro Bark stopped selling Fertile Mix, but the Jacksons don’t know how much of it had already been sold.
“Extremely difficult to prevent pollen movement”
The source of the soil mix is in question. According to one report, a farmer sold the soil containing the specklings to a materials handling company who in turn sold it to Pro Bark. The farmer may have been growing the GM sugar beet specklings for seed and accidently mixed the specklings with soil.

Inside the Taliban: 'The more troops they send, the more targets we have'
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/aug/1
"The situation is very simple here," "We are Muslims and tribal people, the Taliban are Muslim and from the same tribes, the foreign troops are non-Muslims and there was no referendum from the people to ask them to come here. God told us to fight the occupation so the people are against the occupation. The people are ideologically similar to the Taliban, so the Taliban don't hide, they live with the people."

AlterNet alleges dairy industry knows that milk may endanger your health
http://thebovine.wordpress.com/2009/09/0
A mutant protein linked to major diseases has invaded the world’s dairy supply, including, most likely, the jug of milk in your fridge.
The protein, called A1 beta-casein, is well known in the scientific community. While most dairy companies, trade groups and government agencies consider it harmless, a growing body of research implicates A1 beta-casein in diabetes, heart disease, autism and schizophrenia.

Why We Won’t Get Bin Laden
If we can’t kill hornets on a U.S. military base then we sure as hell can’t whack Osama bin Laden. What the hell am I writing about?
I spent part of this week on a U.S. military base that houses an elite Special Operations unit. Can’t tell you where because the particular unit is classified. In any event one of my co-workers, a legendary retired helicopter pilot, was standing outside the trailer where we were working and leaned up against a wood railing. Without warning a couple of hornets stung my friend in the ass. Nothing like watching a sixty year old retired Air Force officer with bad knees run for his life. The cloud of swarming hornets tried to catch him but the man, motivated by a surge of adrenalin, escaped.
Needless to say we had no volunteers willing to suck the poison out of his ass. He was left to his misery. Friendship is one thing but sucking an old man’s wrinkled ass is where I draw the line.
Which brings me to explaining why we can’t eliminate Bin Laden.

sugar beet mops: radioactive biofuel
"An Irish company, Greenfield Project Management, is proposing to plant sugar beets in the area ( Belarus region contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear accident) and convert them into ethanol. The beets would be radioactive, but in theory, none of the dangerous material would get into the ethanol—it'd get distilled out. (Um, presumably there are ways of checking this.) The radioactive residue could then get disposed in conventional waste-treatment facilities. What's more, the beets themselves should start pulling radioactive material out of the soil..."

transgenic beets for the new fructan/sugar economy
If you eat a butter lettuce out of the garden - straight up - you know what I mean when I say its oily, a bit slimy even...like onions: those are the oliosaccarides that slide over your pallet - they store their sugars as fructans. Think tulip slime...they are biopolymers. Biotech has taken note.
Sugar beets have been genetically engineered to convert their carbohydrates to fructans rather than sucrose, with the production of polymers for plastics and other industrial products the goal.
"The biochemistry of fructan synthesis has been determined,
and the first genes encoding these biosynthetic
enzymes have recently been cloned, opening new biotechnological
opportunities for the use of fructans. Until now
the major obstacles have been the limited availability of
long-chain fructans and the heterogeneity of harvested
fructans. It will now be possible to genetically engineer
plants to produce large quantities of fructans of defined
structure and size. here
The lowly fodder/sugar beet is poised to become the nextgen industrial power tuber for the production of fuel, bioplastic and other industrial commodities.
The energy beet (for ethanol) being trialed in Nova Scotia this year is "not for human consumption", is 18% pure sucrose (no starch), and is a "nextgen beet". What are its traits and why is it so difficult to find out?
The beet ethanol project is part of a growing industry expertly described by the ETC Group in a recent press release: Biomass Power Grab Highlighted as Biotech Industry Meets in Montreal

An American bought yellow beans at a Mexican market, planted them for a few years and claimed a patent on what he called the Enola bean; it was his new bean, he said. The absurdity of the theft was followed by expensive court proceeding- FIVE appeals, the last this month which resolved once again: common sense says the bean obviously belongs to the campesinos of Mexico, the true innovators of this nutritious, staple bean.
Its an identity theft of a culture's genetic heritage and we need to establish these as big crimes. The patent has been upheld during this decade of appeal, and farmers have paid for it. Biopiracy is too kind a term here: there isn't a hint of nobility or swash buckle - it is pure evil

Protect Farmland from sewage sludge
Dr. Murray McBride, professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York,
in rebuttal to N Viro's article outlining the safety of its sludge product (and erroneously quoting him) in the Halifax Chronicle Herald: Protect Farmlands from Sewage Sludge
"Research has also shown that these chemicals can concentrate in the fat tissue of cattle. It is only reasonable to conclude that fire retardant chemicals, and many others, will increasingly enter the human food chain as well as natural ecosystems with continued sewage sludge application on land.
In summary, my position is that sewage sludge products should not be applied to our agricultural lands where food crops are grown. There are far too many unknowns and uncertainties about the amounts, behaviour and toxicity of the thousands of chemicals in sewage sludge products, and the precautionary principle must be applied here.
Farmlands must be protected as the irreplaceable resource that they are — we hold them in trust for future generations".

road map for the nanotsunami
Another example of the scramble to measure and control the nano experiments being trialed now on our planet.
Review article calls for measures to enable safe design of nanomaterials
By Jennifer Marcus
6/19/2009 9:55:00 AM
"The recent explosion in the development of nanomaterials with enhanced performance characteristics for use in commercial and medical applications has increased the likelihood of people coming into direct contact with these materials.
There are currently more than 800 products on the market — including clothes, skin lotions and cleaning products — claiming to have at least one nanocomponent, and therapeutic nanocarriers have been designed for targeted drug delivery inside the human body. Human exposure to nanomaterials, which are smaller than one one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair, raises some important questions, including whether these "nano-bio" interactions could have adverse health effects.
Now, researchers at UCLA and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI), along with colleagues in academia and industry, have taken a proactive role in examining the current understanding of the nano-bio interface to identify the potential risks of engineered nanomaterials and to explore design methods that will lead to safer and more effective nanoparticles for use in a variety of treatments and products".
Read more of the review which acknowledges that: "relatively little is known about the intracellular activity and function of engineered nanomaterials" and its time to stop "waiting for for knowledge to unfold randomly".

yes big bro is watching, just how is the question.
"Cheap, ubiquitous sensing has the potential to turn the worlds of privacy and civil rights upside-down," said Brad Templeton, a futurist civil rights activist who chairs the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Who suggests collaboration in a opensource sensing project.
"If closed, proprietary technologies are used for security or environmental sensing and surveillance, citizen fears will delay or block important projects. These fears can take the form of a generalized concern for privacy and civil liberties, or worries regarding discovery of recreational drug use. If we want progress on either security or environmental monitoring, we need to separate these clearly from other more controversial uses of sensing technologies, and enable to public to know exactly what data — on real security or environmental threats — are being collected, who precisely has access to this data, how it will be used, and when it will be discarded. This is what we hope to achieve with Open Source Sensing". Here
For one of very many examples of the capabilities of nanosensors:
Detection, Stimulation, and Inhibition of Neuronal Signals with High-Density Nanowire Transistor Arrays
Fernando Patolsky, Brian P. Timko, Guihua Yu, Ying Fang, Andrew B. Greytak, Gengfeng Zheng, Charles M. Lieber
We report electrical properties of hybrid structures consisting of arrays of nanowire field-effect transistors integrated with the individual axons and dendrites of live mammalian neurons, where each nanoscale junction can be used for spatially resolved, highly sensitive detection, stimulation, and/or inhibition of neuronal signal propagation. Arrays of nanowire-neuron junctions enable simultaneous measurement of the rate, amplitude, and shape of signals propagating along individual axons and dendrites. The configuration of nanowire-axon junctions in arrays, as both inputs and outputs, makes possible controlled studies of partial to complete inhibition of signal propagation by both local electrical and chemical stimuli. In addition, nanowire-axon junction arrays were integrated and tested at a level of at least 50 "artificial synapses" per neuron.

this food safety bill means business; HR 2749
If I was an American small farmer, I'd be sure worrying about HR 2749. I read it for myself before reading the tangled spectrum of spin out there in cyberspace. Read it for yourself.. This Bill, unlike its predecessors that have languished around for awhile, is speeding through and is now before the House. The cards are coming down.
The FDA will determine the practises for production of all food, trace what it decides to, conduct warrantless searches, and charge you for it..... small farms get 2 years to get it together. Very small farms get 3.. how very nice of them.
Oh, and no one is paying any attention now because there were just too many food safety bills out there and we are too busy in our freedom gardens, even though there are a few very wise sources and clear bells in the cyber muck.
The maddening thing for me is the lack of common sense and the easy morality cloak that a draconian bill about safe food can inspire. Small farmers aren't objecting to sound agricultural practises and healthy safe food, we are objecting to centralized, corporate dictate of what, how and if we grow food. This is misplaced authority which properly belongs to the community. But we have given over this freedom: the lack of gmo or nanotech labeling classically reminds us. This is precisely why people are massing toward known sources of their food.
A food safety guideline, education and reinforcement belongs with regions of eaters. It iocal politic - local food producers and elders and independent scholars/ investigators, research, regional vulnerabilites (Uranium mines) and infrastructure. They don't belong to the corporate, global persons who will profit from the dismantling of regional foodsheds and the fabulous food and farm renaissaince we have been experiencing - a surge which is threatening the survival of agribus as we've know it.
Interesting that the Big Genes are pairing with Produce...getting in while its good.

The General looks at the Data
I am writing you in my official capacity as the President of the Natural Solutions Foundation. However,the basis of the information that I am about to share with you comes from decades of experience engaged in real-world, real-time intelligence gathering and analysis. In this environment, the work involves piecing together divergent 'bits' of information from divergent sources into a coherent picture of past events/situations from which you can reliably predict future events/situations.
Having the 'picture' ( from connecting the 'dots' or 'bits' of information ) provides the base from which counter actions, plans and solutions develop.
That is the simplistic process. Now let me show you some of the 'dots' as they exist today. You do the connecting. You paint the picture that comes to your mind. I think after you do, you will see why it is so urgently important that we create the Push Back that we need to protect our health, our rights and our freedom at this time.
DATA SET 1
1. An 'informal' [ e.g. illegal ] clinical trial of the Avian Flu vaccine on about 200 Polish vagrants resulted in 11 immediate deaths and an additional set of 20 later deaths ( approximately 15% of the test population ). The doctors and nurses involved were charged with murder. ( Fact 2008 )
2. Approximately 3500 Chinese children died in an Avian Flu vaccine experiment. ( Rumor 2008 )
3. The Philippine government convicted WHO ( the World Health Organization ) of involuntarily sterilizing over 3 million Philippina women through the use of vaccines. ( Fact )
4. The WHO documented in 1985 that one of its goals for the use of a sterility vaccine disguised as a smallpox vaccine was to ' eliminate 150 million excess subSaharan Africans. ( Fact 1985-ongoing )
5. The WHO 5-shot vaccine for tetanus in third world countries in South and Central America caused the involuntary sterilization of millions of women. ( Fact - ongoing )
6. Monsanto's Mon 810 corn causes sterility according to studies published by the Austrian government. ( Fact 2009 )
7.Monsanto's 810 corn contains the Cauliflower Mosaic virus which, when ingested, lowers the body's CD 4 cells to a point which, on immune tests, indicate that a person has HIV/AIDS. The lowered CD 4 cells result from eating GMO corn, the staple of the diet in many parts of Black Africa. MON 810 is grown in Europe for animal feed and in many places, including the US, around the world for human food. ( Fact, ongoing )
8. Merck's Gardasil vaccine causes death, collapse and chronic illness in young women and girls, including a new, never-before diagnosed 'disease' called Juvenile ALS, a fatal condition in which the nervous system is slowly destroyed while consciousness remains unimpaired. This vaccine increases cervical cancer 44.7% in women and girls who already have Human Papilloma virus. Cervical cancer is easily detected and cured in the early stages and is not a major killer of women. Gardasil contains substances which may cause sterility in women receiving it and any protection only lasts a few years, so 9 year olds will probably not be sexually active by the time this protection has worn off. ( Fact, ongoing )
9. Baxter International Inc. was in the process of applying for a contract to provide Avian Flu vaccines to European countries in the event of an Avian Flu epidemic. Its Austrian laboratory shipped Seasonal Flu vaccines to 18 countries in Europe. A laboratory technician tested the Baxter Seasonal Flu vaccines sent to the Czech Republic and discovered they were contaminated with a highly pathogenic variation of the Avian Flu, 72 kilograms of it, although the Level 3 precautions were in place and such contamination 'could not have happened accidentally' according to experts in the field. No documentation of the destruction of this highly infective material has been provided, although the Austrian Health Ministry insists that the deadly viral material was destroyed. ( Fact 2008,2009 )
10. A WHO investigation into the Baxter contaminated vaccine issue resulted in NO findings and NO disciplinary actions. An Austrian investigation into the same events yielded the same results. ( Fact 2009 )
11. Baxter has been rewarded with a lead role in developing, producing and disseminating the Swine Flu vaccine for the upcoming pandemic. ( Fact 2009 )
12. Swine Flu was first identified to the public as a serious problem in April/May 2009 when 168 persons in Mexico were confirmed by the CDC and WHO to have died from the Swine Flu. The number was later revised down to 16 deaths. ( Fact 2009 )
13. It normally takes 12 to 18 months to develop a vaccine after a specific virus has been identified. ( Fact 2009 )
14. The U.S. government has spent a billion dollars to develop a vaccine for a disease which is not a significant health threat. ( Fact 2009 )
15. The 'seed culture' for the Swine Flu virus was provided to vaccine companies in May 2009. Baxter International Inc. announced in June 2009 that they would have the vaccine ready in July 2009. ( Fact 2009 )
16. A WHO container of Swine Flu virus from Mexico City exploded in a passenger train in Luzon, Switzerland. All the current Swiss cases of swine flu are from the area where the explosion took place. It is illegal to ship pathogenic viruses in this way. ( Fact 2009 )
17. A significant number of virologists and other scientists are on record stating that the Swine Flu was created in a laboratory and could not evolve naturally. ( Fact 2009 )
DATA SET 1 YOUR PICTURE, YOUR CONCLUSIONS
DATA SET 2
1. Canada, Sweden, Norway, France and other countries have announced intentions to vaccinate every man, woman and child. To do so, they are ordering 2 shots per person of unsafe, untested and unnecessary Swine Flu vaccines from a variety of manufacturers. The US Departments of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services both stated that they would do so 'beginning with those who wanted it.' ( Fact, 2009 )
2. President Obama announced shortly after his inauguration that every man, woman and child should receive the Avian Flu vaccine this fall along with seasonal flu shots this coming fall.President Obama is on record as saying that he believes that vaccinations should be mandatory. ( Fact, 2009 )
3. The United States has spent $714 million GPS mapping every front door of every house and apartment in the country and who lives in each house or apartment under the direction of the White House.
4. Many people have reported that they have received calls at home or at work from agencies of the U.S. government inquiring about the number of 'unvaccinated children' in the household. ( Fact, 2009 )
5. The United States, Norway,Sweden, Austria and other countries have announced that in case of a Swine flu pandemic all health and security authority shall revert to team centers run by the WHO.
6. Every recent major event like 9/11, the Madrid bombings or the London bombings have been accompanied by a materially identical 'training exercise' simulating the actual event involving, confusing and distracting the actual responders. ( Fact 2001-ongoing )
7. A major set of FEMA training exercises is scheduled for 27 July, 2009. ( Fact,2009 )

Prevent Martial Law!
Self shielding and Codex Bills may be presentedf in Congress by Health Freedom allies!
Push back working: Urgently important to act on self shielding legislation - and take that demand viral!
We have the word of the most outspoken health friend freedom has in Congress that he is considering two new bills to support our freedom, in addition to the nutrient health claims bill that will be re-introduced to Congress shortly.
1. A self-shielding law that would give you the right to choose to remain at home rather than take a dangerous pandemic vaccine or be incarcerated or quarentined.
Click HERE to tell your legislators you demand your right to self-shield instead of taking the dangerous vaccine OR being incarcerated http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/c
2. A Codex Anti-Harmonization Bill. Taking the US out of the Codex's restrictions on our nutrition would be a major step forward!
Meanwhile a New Farm and Food Safety Bill Threatens
You can read our Counsel Ralph's blog on HR2749 here:
http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogsp
In it he writes: "While Self-Shielding in the face of manufactured pandemics and weaponized vaccines got our attention; while Codex further degraded the food supply... Congress was planning its own surprise: the forced-industrialization-of-farming bills, such as HR 875 & 759, have been replaced by a new "fast-tracked" (sic) "Food Safety" bill - HR 2749 - that threatens food, health and freedom. It is, in reality, a "martial law food control bill"
This new Farm and Food Safety (sic) legislation, HR 2749 is being pushed forward with limited debate as if it were a non-controversial bill and it, like the other dangerous Farm and Food Safety bills, contains implementation and harmonization language for Codex.
The worst of the Farm and Food Safety (sic) legislation, HR 2749 is being moved under a "Suspension of Rules" which is how "non-controversial legislation, like naming post offices" is usually done; limited debate, no amendments, one "up or down" vote and while it probably won't be voted on this week, it could come up in the next couple weeks.WE MUST FLOOD CONGRESS WITH MESSAGES REGARDING THIS!

Remember, each of these Action Items can be sent in by every member of your family!
Have you clicked and sent the Action Items? Great. Now you can get to work and find ways to motivate the people in your email list, your relatives, the folks at your local Farmer's Market, Church, Synagogue, Mosque, Block Club, School, University or whatever groups of people with whom you communicate. A health fair in your area? A folk dance or festival? Great. These are urgent issues and all we need is a click of the Freedom Mouse from a large number of people. It really is up to us to mobilize the kind of Push Back that really does work.
Apparently, the Natural Solutions Foundation's enthusiastic Push Back - YOUR enthusiastic Push Back - is giving us the purchase we need to have legislation to permit self-shielding AND protection from Codex considered by a significant Congressman.
And our Push Back may even be impacting the plans of those who control Congress. In order to get HR 2749 out of committee, the sponsors had to allow an exemption into the bill -- breaching their hard line position that all food producers were to be treated like industrialized Agrabiz. That exemption covers any "food (i) produced on a farm; and (ii) sold ...directly to a consumer or restaurant." While it is not as strong as we'd advise (actually, we advise that the bill be defeated!) we were the first to call for explicit protective language for family farms, natural, organic, home, etc. food production and processing -- and your Push Back made this exemption possible! The bill must still be defeated, but along the way, we want to see the exemptions strengthened!
NOW is the time to pour on the Push Back heat. Now, when every member of Congress and State Legislature is aware of these issues. Now, while the horrifying FDA-Can-Declare-Martial-Law-And-Seize-Yo
Self-Shielding is Your Right!
You know that Health and Health Freedom are under multiple attacks, rather like a castle being attacked by infantry swarming over the walls, catapults slamming into the towers, corpses dumped into the wells to poison the water and flaming arrows arcing high over the walls to land in the thatch roofs of the homes within the walls.
Under Common Law, which the Constitution of these United States says is to be respected, your Home IS your Castle and you are inviolate within it. Both the UN Declaration of Universal Rights and the Geneva Conventions agree. But, just as so many other protections and strong walls of freedom are being breached, so your home is about to be breeched. Under current legislation, there will be no vaccine exemptions for any reason. You will either take the vaccine, weaponized and dangerous as it is, or you run the very real risk of relocation, incarceration, isolation, quarantine and God knows what else. One thing for sure, a vaccine refuser will be viewed as somehow disloyal and there is no reason to think the food, conditions or treatment will support your health!
Like a prophet running around in rags inside the castle being breached sobbing, "Repent ye, repent ye", there are well-meaning people propagating petitions to refuse vaccines which have the right sentiment, but no political impact whatsoever. There are well meaning people telling you that because 48 States have vaccine exemption options, the "Pandemic Emergency"vaccination will, too. They are governed by different laws and we believe that there will be no exemptions for them.
Taken together with the fact that virtually every country of which we are aware is either ordering 2 shots of the untested, unsafe and unnecessary Swine Flu vaccine from some vaccine company or other (and there are apparently 89 different Swine Flu vaccine trials running at the moment!) the race is on to corral us all into either a vaccination line or a relocation line.
These are the vaccines that the FDA wants you to believe are, along with Tamiflu and its cousin Relenza, the ONLY ways to protect and treat Swine Flu. You remember that I told you in one of my earlier reports that we are no longer permitted to discuss Nano silver in this light, so we are not discussing it in that light. But I want you to know that I find that Nano silver, www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
, is the finest universal nutrient immune system support that I know and has no known toxicity in any person of any age or health condition. I trust it implicitly and believe that having a store of it for my own use and that of those that I love is very important.
CHILDREN FIRST!
Make no mistake: Health Canada, the US and Scotland have said that children will be first. I personally am concerned that the White House-directed $714M GPS marking of every door in America (with a list of who lives behind that door) plus the phone calls that we are told were received many homes over the last months asking how many unvaccinated children live in the home may mean that YOU might be able to refuse vaccination and accept the consequences, but children will not be permitted to have their vaccination refused by parents and they may be either mandatorily vaccinated in public schools OR removed from the home if their parents refuse.
The fact is, governments are getting ready to turn over their health, police and other powers to the WHO/UN (aka "the New World Order") now that their PPP (Planned Pandemic Pretext) is being activated. Jane Burgermeister, the courageous journalist who has filed criminal charges over what she says is genocidal intent by drug companies and governments reports:
US: F.E.M.A. is planning nationwide terrorism drills in the United States set to begin on July 27th, 2009.... [9/11, 7/7, the Madrid Bombings and other disasters have all occurred during virtually nearly identical "exercises" involving those responders and troops who would otherwise focus on an event of their magnitude and suddenness - REL]
In the event of a pandemic declaration, WHO will coordinate the activities of Homeland Security and FEMA from a special pandemic control room linked to supercomputers of the UN security forces which appear set to be the the nerve center for any operation to transport large numbers of Americans by rail or road to the FEMA camps or [to or - REL] from special quarantine centers [to be - REL] set up at 19 airports.
Any systematic and sustained disruption to the operation of the WHO pandemic control room, of Homeland Security and FEMA headquarters or of the logistics of its units, of railways or other transport infrastructure leading to FEMA camps would be a severe blow to any covert mission to mass murder Americans and leave the country to be occupied by foreign troops under the direction of WHO and the UN. [This suggests the possibility of a false flag event during a Pandemic Emergency situation. We have no information to suggest any such event, but we are mindful of the implications of such an event - REL]
SWEDEN: Sweden has ordered two doses of Swine Flu Vaccine per person (18 million). The Swedish authority that deals with disease control says on their website that in case of a pandemic there will be "cooperation" with the EU and WHO. Sweden's pandemic plan indicates special pandemic "crisis management committees" will be given significant emergency powers in the event of a pandemic and be able to usurp the authority of other branches of local and national government, and will apparently also be ultimately taking their orders from WHO and the EU. http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:CoP
AUSTRIA: Under Austria's Influenza Pandemic Plan of 2005, WHO and the EU are set to take charge of Austria via a special crisis management team (SKKM) to be set up in the Federal Ministry of Interior in the event of a "pandemic" emergency. Inoculating the entire Austrian population with (Baxter) shots is a declared objective of the SKKM. The injections will contain a mix of "whole virus", mercury and adjuvants - and so be very toxic. http://www.bmg.gv.at/cms/site/attachment
Similar pandemic plans exist in countries all over Europe. In some countries, such as France, the injections could be mandatory.
