Geen ondersoek is nodig na die doeltreffendheid van entstowwe wat deur die OBP vervaardig word nie, sê me. Tina Joemat-Pettersson.
Geen ondersoek is nodig na die doeltreffendheid van entstowwe wat deur Onderstepoort Biologiese Produkte (OBP) vervaardig word nie, sê me. Tina Joemat-Pettersson, Minister van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye.
Dít was haar antwoord op vrae wat die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) in die Parlement aan haar gestel het. Volgens die minister vervaardig die OBP sy entstowwe in ooreenstemming met internasionale standaarde. Die doeltreffendheid en veiligheid van entstowwe word ingevolge registrasievoorwaardes gewaarborg. “Die stelsel by Onderstepoort Biologiese Produkte is deur die internasionale standaardorganisasie gesertifiseer en die laaste sertifisering was in 2008. Tot dusver was daar nog geen verslae van ondoeltreffendheid of kommer oor die veiligheid van dié entstowwe nie,” lui die minister se antwoord. Stomgeslaan Me. Annette Steyn, die DA se verteenwoordiger vir die landbou, sê die minister se antwoord het haar stomgeslaan. Luidens ’n verklaring het sy aan Joemat-Pettersson gevra of enige ondersoeke die afgelope vyf jaar deur die departement onderneem is om die doeltreffendheid van entstowwe van die OBP te bepaal. Steyn sê wat die minister se antwoord so verbasend maak, is die feit dat prof. Leon Prozesky, hoof van die department patologie aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, verlede jaar aangestel is om ’n onafhanklike ondersoek na die doeltreffendheid van entstowwe, soos dié vir slenkdalkoors, te lei.
Prozesky het boere van Aberdeen verlede jaar besoek om die uitslag van die ondersoek te bespreek. Volgens dié boere is bevind dat die kwessie van ondoeltreffende behandeling van slenkdalkoors nie regverdiglik voor boere se deur gelê kan word nie. “Om boere te blameer, is een van die minister se gunsteling-aktiwiteite,” sê Steyn. Steyn sê die resultate van die ondersoek wys glo dat die entstof in talle gevalle nié die nodige beskerming gebied het nie. Verslag Dié verslag is nie aan die publiek bekend gemaak nie. Steyn sê hoe langer die minister dié verslag stil hou, hoe langer sal vrae en kommer voorkom – wat kan aanleiding gee tot die vermoede dat die minister iets wil wegsteek. ’n Amptelike klag teen die OBP is volgens Steyn in April vanjaar in die kantoor van die Registrateur aangeteken. Landbou.com wag tans op terugvoer van die departement oor dié verklaring. 29 Mei 2012

There is a correction which needs to be made here I think on the comment by 'Onbekende Besoeke' and that is that ERC are not part of OBP at all. ERC have been doing their own independent work on development of a vaccine but this after 7 years has also not been forthcoming. ERC are funded mostly by Racing SA as far a I know and are not a 'State Institution'. OBP is a 'state owned company'. The other major Role Players here should be OVI-ARC who are the 'official reference centre' for the OIE and funded by the Department of Agriculture. They are supposed to have been keeping up with AHS research, the origianal research institute. But NO funding has been available for them to do AHS research ... for far too many years now. ERC seem to just be doing their own thing altogether and as for the AHS Trust - what happened there - they have just gone dead after 7 yrs of collecting Case Studies and donations? Lots of answers needed here!!

Perhaps the minister should keep to discussing fashion as she has no idea what goes on in her various departments - or doesnt go on in this case. While we all accept that a vaccine is not ever 100% effective, we also know (and can prove) that this 50 odd year old vaccine for AHS is less than 10% effective today. But then if the miinister has no record of what is happening how can she see the truth - something smells more than just fishy here and the true sufferers - our animals, continue to die horrible deaths and we pay hefty vets bills, courtesy of the minister!

I am dumbstruck that the minister can say this. I have found in the medical field the same thing with my personal medication. What is the government trying to hide? Are they wanting to line the pockets more with money that should be used to try and find better vaccines or are they not wanting to do the work required
2012/05/30 10:09:54 AM
Ministertjie - sal u u hand op die Bybel sit en hieroor in die Hof sweer dat dit wat u sê die waarheid is , die hele waarheid, en niks anders as die waarheid ?
2012/05/30 08:49:06 AM
Minister Tina en haar departement het lankal alle geloofwaardigheid verloor.
Ek bly so ver moontlik weg van enige OBP entstowwe.

If the vaccine was 100% effective, why do we still have AHS, vaccine administered by vets and horses are still dying .
Blood tests are done in the same entity ERC that develops the vaccine and manages AHS OBP ERC...they are all owned by the same stakeholder. Where is the PFMA , independent monitoring and segregation of disciplines Onderstepoort are in violation the PFMA and have a controlling monopoly, stopping and new dead vaccines , as they are the evaluation entity for these new vaccines from COMPETITORS (YES OP a state owned entity is abusing its position and railroading the registration of a vaccine that has already been developed)
So if it is 100% effective, can the 1000 horse owners that claim damages for the costs incurred treating and then disposing of their dead horses. If the Minister says it is effective, then if it FAILS SURLEY we have recourse to the MINISTER.. Can I ask all horse owners who have had a vet bill , treating a horse with AHS then to bring a class action against the Minister ,,,,she is after all guaranteeing (by not investigating the complaints) that the vaccine is effective. And cases of AHS or any deaths, will the MINISTER be willing to put her money where her moth is and refund the owners their Vet bills???

Very unfortunately I do not understand this whole article, but get the gist of it and just want to ask - on what grounds do you base your comments Tina Joemet-Petterson? What data are you looking at to say the vaccine is okay still - there is no accurate data? Can you tell us how many of the more than 1000 horses which died last year, were vaccinated? Do you have any idea what is going on out there on the ground each summer, where do you get your 'advice' or AHS information from? Have you seen the results of scientific ressearch showing the vaccine can 'cause AHS' as well? Have you seen the results of research done in Gambia now, finding a 'vaccine iduced virus' circulating there? I doubt you have any idea what is really happening with AHS in our country because there is NO data available on which to base you assumptiomns.

99% van OBP be enstof is minder werg as die verpakking veral die AHS entstof en as bloed mondsters ingestuur word is als negatief hoewel gie perd se oe bloei en dit net om die uitvoer mark oop te hou

me. Tina Joemat-Pettersson,jy leef in lala land. Dis tyd dat jy saam met ons langs ons sterwende perde kom sit voor jy sulke snert kwytraak.Ons is 1 Appaloosa stoet teler met 15 Ahs positief getoetste getalle vanaf Feb 2011- Feb 2012 ondanks, (of is dit danksy) julle wonderlike entstof.2300+ Lede op 'n facebook groep AHS The Equine Challenge wat mekaar met raad en daad bystaan om ons perde te probeer red.Dis tyd dat jy 'n "wake up catch"

me. Tina Joemat-Pettersson,jy leef in lala land, en dis tyd dat jy saam met ons langs ons sterwende perde kom sit om te weet wat aangaan. Daarna kan jy ons vertel die entstof werk.Besoek ook facebook groep AHS the Equine Challenge waar meer as 2300 lede van die publiek mekaar met raad en daad probeer bystaan om ons perde te red terwyl julle net nonsens kan kwytraak.Julle het 'n ernstige "wake up call" nodig.Appaloosa stoet teler en aan die ontvang kant van 15 positiewe getoetste Ahs perde sedert Feb 2011 - Feb 2012 ondanks, (of is dit danksy)julle wonderlike entstof.

Ek is uit die veld geslaan, dit is duidlik dat die geagte minister nie n 'Cooking clue" het waar van sy praat nie. Groot manne het onlangs vir my by Onderstepoort met hul eiemonde gese die entstowe is nie doeltreffend nie. En dat daar iets nie pluis is. Ek dink ek gaan hulle glo erder as die geagte minister...
2012/05/29 03:56:02 PM
Nadat ek my jersey kudde teen slenkdal geent het het dit my nogtans getref, ek het drie diere verloor en 20% het koors ontwikkel, diere wat met die lewendige entstof geent is as ook met die dooie entstof is geraak. Bure van my is ook geraak al het hulle geeint, en die entstof is volgens voorskrifte gebruik, so waar le die probleem, die minister yl en moet bykom. Dis mos maklik om van haar troonjie te se dis die boere se skuld, sys elk geval meer gepla oor haar voorkoms as die land se boere.
2012/05/29 03:47:55 PM
Waar 'n rokie is, is maar gewoonlik 'n vuurtjie. Dieselfde storie met die Perdesiek entstof wat maar nie veel beteken nie. Om aan kompetisies deel te neem, moet ons spuit,... die perde vrek soos vliee en OBP word net al ryker.
2012/06/01 08:43:03 AM
Ons het ook 'n probleem gehad dat minder as 50% van ons ooie dragtig geraak het - gespuit in ooreenstemming met voorgeskrewe voorskrifte. Dis substansiele skade
