HERA

Vuoden 2021 syksyllä EU kertoi uuden "terveyspalveluorganisaation" perustamisesta, jonka on tarkoitus aloittaa toimintansa tämän vuoden alussa. Yksikkö sai nimekseen Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA). Wikipedia kertoo: 

"Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA) is a European Commission health service created to prepare the EU for a future pandemic and to avoid the mistakes made during the EU's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen first announced plans for such an agency in 2020. On 15 September 2021, the EU announced the launch of HERA and the agency was established on 16 September. HERA is expected to be fully operational in early 2022.

HERA will assess potential health threats, promote research, ensure the availability of critical production and help build stockpiles. During a health crisis, the agency would activate emergency funding and help coordinate monitoring, acquisition and purchase of medical equipment or treatments." [Wikipedia]

Koko organisaatio on perustettu pääasiallisesti koronapiikkejä varten. HERAn kivijalkana on HERA Incubator -ohjelma, jonka tarkoitus on edistää koronapiikkien kehitystä ja tuotantoa uusia variantteja varten.

"The EU is setting up a European bio-defence preparedness plan “HERA Incubator” against COVID-19 variants to bring together researchers, biotech companies, manufacturers, regulators and public authorities to monitor variants, exchange data and cooperate on adapting vaccines."

"The bio-defence preparedness plan “HERA Incubator” will start off immediately, it will lay the foundations for a future fully-fledged bio-preparedness authority, the European Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA)." [https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_21_642]

 

HERAn taustalla vaikuttaa lobbausorganisaatio European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA) ja sen alaisuudessa toimiva Vaccines Europe.

Mielenkiintoista tämän uuden EU-organisaation nimessä on sen lyhenne. Jostain syystä nimi Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority ei saanut lyhenteekseen kirjainyhdistelmää HEPRA, kuten olisi voinut olettaa. Miksi lyhenteeksi valittiin HERA? 

Hassu sattuma, Hera oli kreikkalainen jumalatar, joka tunnetaan kostonhimoisena ja julmana jumalattarena.

"Hera is the goddess of women, marriage, family and childbirth in ancient Greek religion and mythology, one of the twelve Olympians and the sister and wife of Zeus. She is the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Hera rules over Mount Olympus as queen of the gods. A matronly figure, Hera served as both the patroness and protectress of married women, presiding over weddings and blessing marital unions. One of Hera's defining characteristics is her jealous and vengeful nature against Zeus' numerous lovers and illegitimate offspring, as well as the mortals who cross her." [Wikipedia]

Hera

Hera tunnettiin parhaiten hänen vihamielisestä suhtautumisestaan puolisonsa Zeuksen toisten naisten kanssa siittämiin lapsiin. Heraan liittyvissä tarinoissa toistuu usein syntyneisiin ja syntymättömiin lapsiin kohdistuva viha ja murhanhimo.

Hera yritti tappaa Herakleen (Herkules) tämän ollessa lapsi. Myöhemmin Hera teki Herakleesta hullun, jonka seurauksena Herakles tappoi omat lapsensa: 

"One example of Hera's revenge is the story of the hero Heracles who was Zeus's son by the mortal woman Alcmene. Hera first tried to kill Heracles as a baby by sending two serpents to his bed, but this failed when Heracles killed the serpents. She later caused Heracles to go mad and kill his wife and children. As punishment for killing his family, Heracles was forced to perform the Twelve Labors. Hera made these labors as difficult as possible, hoping that Heracles would be killed."

Hera tappoi myös Lamian lapsia ja sai tämänkin tappamaan omat lapsensa:

"Lamia was a beautiful Libyan queen loved by Zeus. Thus, through no fault of her own, she incurred the wrath of Hera upon herself. Angry with Zeus’ interest for her, the goddess showed no mercy towards Lamia: every time the girl gave birth to a child, Hera either murdered it or made Lamia kill it herself." [https://www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Monsters/Lamia/lamia.html]

Kun Leto oli raskaana Zeukselle, Hera yritti estää lapsen syntymisen:

"According to Hyginus, when Hera, the goddess of marriage and family, and the wife of Zeus, discovered that Leto was pregnant by Zeus, Hera banned Leto from giving birth on "terra firma", the mainland, any island at sea, or any place under the sun. But Poseidon brought the island of Ortygia up to a higher position; it was later called the island of Delos. There Leto, clinging to an olive tree, bore Apollo and Artemis after four days." [Wikipedia]

Kun Zeus teki Kalliston raskaaksi, Hera yritti tapattaa Kalliston ja tämän syntymättömän lapsen:

"In yet a third version, when Kallisto was seduced by the god Zeus, his jealous wife Hera angrily transformed her into a bear and persuaded the goddess Artemis to shoot her. Zeus sent Hermes to recover the child Arkas from her womb and delivered him into the care of the nymphe Maia. Kallisto was again placed amongst the stars." [https://www.theoi.com/Heroine/Kallisto.html]

Näistä esimerkeistä saa aika hyvän käsityksen Heran suhtautumisesta lapsiin. Ja juuri tämän toisten lapsia murhaavan jumalattaren mukaan EU päätti nimetä uuden koronapiikkien tuotantoa ja myyntiä edistävän "terveyspalveluorganisaation"? 

Tässä HERA Incubator -dokumentissa puhutaan aivan avoimesti siitä, että yhtenä ohjelman tavoitteena on lisätä koronapiikkien kehitystä lapsille kaikissa ikäryhmissä - siitäkin huolimatta, että korona on perusterveille lapsille hyvin vaaraton. Mitäs se Susan sanoikaan näistä lasten piikittämisistä?

"The EMA will also continue to work closely on monitoring and assessing the possibilities for vaccine development for children and adolescents, in accordance with the agreed paediatric investigation plans. It is essential that paediatric patients of all ages are included in clinical trials and the new VACCELERATE network is ready to enable this where possible." [HERA Incubator: Anticipating together the threat of COVID-19 variants]

Ymmärrättekö nyt, miksi nimeksi valittiin HERA?
