Phil Young interviews Don Beswick a former employee of Wellington Hospital New Zealand. Don says: "The snake venom refers to the three mystery deaths in Dunedin which appears to have been the testing of a lethal agent (Category A) while the illnesses ME and CFS appear to be the testing of a non-lethal incapacitating agent (Category B). One of the earliest incapacitating agents was VEE (Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis which kills horses and incapacitates humans) with symptoms similar to ME and has been investigated by scientists in Eastern countries, eg. Russia and by British and American scientists.
VEE is a virus which is normally transmitted by mosquitoes but is highly infectious when disseminated in aerosol form with a particle size of 1-5 microns, i.e. weaponised. In the 1960's VEE was "standardised" by the United States Army which means approved for operational use. When the political and medical aspects are added together one can make the case that the earlier illness ME is a variant of VEE. One can also assemble the case that the later CFS is aerosol dissemination of a harmless carrier virus containing a foreign gene for a particularly damaging toxin. Back in the 1980's the Russians inserted the gene (DNA or RNA) for cobra venom into the genome of an influenza virus and similar work has been done by Western scientists. The engineered virus is disseminated as an invisible aerosol which is unknowingly breathed in by the victim. A similar process appears to have been used in the 3 mystery deaths in Dunedin but using the gene for haemolytic rattlesnake venom rather than neurotoxic cobra venom. Both types are lethal. I explained all this in my book. The subject is not well understood in New Zealand, and as far as I can ascertain I am the only writer in New Zealand to investigate this subject."
