Pfizer Employee Claims Company Fired Her After Infection From An Engineered Virus

The McClain suit brings to light an enormous gap in health safety.
If a scientist is not afforded the personal protection against bio-engineered viruses then no one is safe….. Will the public notice this?

Big Pharma must listen to it’s own Scientist and ensure safety first. Cleaning up accidents rather than preventing them is profitable and dangerous.

The word NOVEL was chosen to represent the new type FLU which recently put us to test , this was our eye opener. It should not be NOVEL to see protection afforded to all Americans by protecting the rights of Bio-Lab workers from Big Pharma Agenda’s.

We should be as concerned about this case as we are about terrorism. The potential to unleash catastrophes are as great and as the McClain case shows us, as likely from own Government and Big Pharma Laboratories as it is from foreign and domestic enemies.

If you did not like getting vaccinated for the NOVEL FLU, take a moment and write your Senator, call your local newspaper about the lack of adequate protection in Bio-Safety Labs.

What is not NOVEL is the fact that true homeland security is in the heart’s and actions or inactions of it’s citizens. If this case ends negatively and quietly for the McClains, we must demand that Pharma Bio-Labs through the country be added to the bio-terror list by Homeland Security for a lack of safety concerning bio-threats as told to us by known reliable sources, our own Scientists.

Hats off to the McClains for standing up to the Giants for us. The test is continuing, you the citizen hold the key to life and democracy for all of civilization , you must speak up now.
Demand that Whistle Blowers be protected… Demand a safety overhaul in Bio-labs… No Novel Hell for us….. No Novel BIO -END !!

This case is not believable in any way. The symptoms don't make sense, and no evidence whatsoever is provided that the former employee isn't just trying to make a buck.

@jennifermiracle: You are insane. Your conspiracy theories don't make any sense. Seek help.

Oingo, it is ok if you're in the pocket of big-pharma, but it would be nice if you spread some of the cash my way too. ;-)

I agree with oingo. I'm not a fan of the "big pharma" for many reasons, but her story just doesn't add up. Why didn't she see a doctor while this was happening? I know if I was suffering from "complete body paralysis as often as 12 times every month" I would certainly be at my doctor's office, if not in the emergency room. It doesn't make sence to just stop going to work, not say anything about it to your employer, then act surprised and sue when they fire you, unless it's a scam. This story will likely go away. Unfortunetaly, she will win. They will settle out of court to aviod the negative publicity and she will get exactly what she wanted all along; a big check.

oingo, it's really only one symptom. And besides it being an HIV like strain we really don't know much about the story.

Designing a virus to give the stated symptoms would not be difficult. the only tricky part is keeping it from being fatal the first time it seizes the nervous system.

You could do it with an inflammation response or with a neurotransmitter inhibition.

Yeah, I don't really buy it. From the information available, there are way too many holes in her story.

Holes in her story or not, I feel like Pfizer ought to release the genome for the virus in question so the issue can be decided definitively; right now it's a case of Pfizer-said/she-said.
I won't go so far as to say "Big Pharma" is actively trying to rip off anyone, but the fact remains that it's a business entity, and anything that looks bad on its report to its shareholders stands a good chance of getting glossed over or buried.
Frankly, I'd like a look inside the genome of a human-engineered virus of this level of suspicion, for caution's sake.

With all due respect and without full knowledge of the medical facts: the plaintiff's claims sound ficticious.

Recurrent and stereotypic "whole body paralysis" without residuae is
extraordinary and virtually unheard of in clinical neurolgy.

My guess is that the manufacturer will fight this claim vigorously.

Clarification: should read: as a consequence of
viral infection.

Popsci your not suppoesd to report on this kinda stuff, your stealing work from conspiracy theorists.

I cant wait till' the zombie virus escapes.....

I just had to say that :D

Anyways, that they dont wish to release the genome is understandable, why would you want to give up years of work as a freebie to competitors... and thus Pfizer's denial proves nothing.

THERE IS TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SAFETY IN THE BIOTECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY:

When a safety and health complaint is made to OSHA, the agency usually contacts the employer IN WRITING. The employer then replies back to OSHA saying how safe they are and the complaint is unfounded and without merit.

It is NOT until a second, third or fourth complaint is filed with OSHA does OSHA even respond in person. Thereafter, OSHA WORKS WITH THE EMPLOYER, which can be months BEFORE an inspection is done. OSHA is on the side of the employer and does not do it's job in protecting employee's.

Working for a non-compliant biotechnology company is non other than playing Russian roulette with your life. What the employee may be exposed to could take years to manifest itself in taking down the body. ANYONE who has been exposed to ANY virus, bacteria and/or fungi which causes human disease which has additionally been altered in any way is going to be in SERIOUS trouble, if not in the present... the future. Science has run amuck and the price is the loss of health as one knew it to be.

Ms. McClain has every right to know what she had been exposed to.

My son worked in the biotech industry and 5 months and 15 days after he first began work he ended up in Immediate Care Medical Clinic with bloody pus draining from his nose, a fever, had and was still vomiting, as he had been for days. The left side of his face was numb and within 10 days he was scheduled for the first of what would become four major sinus surgeries. He stopped producing B-Cells for an intact immune system and for 3 years, every 28 days he was at the hospital receiving immunoglobulin infusions (these lasted for approximately 7 hours each) with a cost in the thousands of dollars. Every microorganisms, both bacteria and fungus identified in him can be traced to the company he worked for. This has gone on for 10 years now and he still is infected. This took place in a research and development laboratory in California which not only searches the world for "novel" microorganisms but they are manufactured and are living microorganisms that are put on our food crops and used for insect control; biopesticides, bioinsecticides, biofungicides etc.

God help us all.
