Sister Teresa Forcades i Vila is a Benedictine Nun, Public Health Doctor, and Crimes and Abuses of the Pharmaceutical Industry author. Residing in Italy, she was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1966.

Sr. Teresa is being reprimanded for speaking truth such as dangers of the World Health Organization's global H1N1 vaccine program.

Nun calls for urgent public action to thwart political consequences of H1N1

In the video series, BELL TOLLING for the Swine Flu (English subtitled), Sr. Teresa reflects on the history, gives scientific data of A type flu, and lists all the irregularities related to the H1N1 subject.

Sr. Teresa explains consequences of the declaration of a PANDEMIC, the political consequences from this declaration and makes a proposal to keep calm.

She calls for an urgent activation of all legal mechanism and the participation of all citizens in this matter.

Gaspar Hernández writes:

One of the more interesting emerging voices in the Church is Benedictine sister Teresa Forcades. Sr. Teresa was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1966. She has a doctorate in Public Health from the University of Barcelona with specialization in Internal Medicine (State University of New York). She also has a Masters in Divinity from Harvard University and a doctorate from the Facultad de Teología de Catalunya. She is the author of Crimes and Abuses of the Pharmaceutical Industry (Cristianisme i Justícia, 2006), La Trinitat, avui ("The Trinity, Today", Publicacions de l’Abadia de Montserrat, 2005), and La teologia feminista en la història ("Feminist Theology in History", Fragmenta Editorial, 2007). She has been a Benedictine nun and a member of the community of Sant Benet de Montserrat since 1997.

What's a nun doing talking on the Internet about the dangers of the Influenza A vaccine?

Our rule prescribes five hours of prayer and six of work. Ora et labora.

I devote part of the working hours to medical research. I'm a doctor of medicine and in 2006 I published the study Crimes and Abuses of the Pharmaceutical Industry.

When did you decide you had to speak out on influenza A?

In May this year I was asked to give a speech on the papillomavirus vaccine and I was very struck by the lack of scientific basis for the official recommendations. After a few days I spoke on TV-3 about this vaccine and since then I have been receiving requests to comment on the influenza A vaccine.

Doesn't the World Health Organization deserve to be trusted?

I don't understand the motives that have led WHO to act in the absurd way it is acting.

Absurd?

Yes. Last May, WHO changed the official definition of a pandemic -- it changed from a logical definition (a pandemic is an infection of global proportions and with a high mortality) to an illogical definition (a pandemic is an infection of global proportions).

What are the consequences of this change?

Under the new definition of "pandemic", the annual [seasonal] flu more than meets the requirements to be one. Are we going to declare a world health alert every fall? Besides absurdity from the scientific standpoint, this has serious financial and policy consequences.
