Mexican scientist Jorge Fernández de Castro revealed that the U.S. wants to locate epidemiological stations in Mexico, which would make daily reports on the status of Mexican health.
"The National Institute of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, has been eager to have a kind of medical CIA here for many years," he said.
"That U.S. eagerness comes from afar. Today, the subject of swine flu — calling it this in order to avoid confusion — has revived that discussion in the heart of Washington."
"The U.S. fears for its health. Its government was highly irritated as it learned belatedly of that pandemic, after Canada. It was unthinkable that its [intelligence] services had not been alerted."
"As a director general in the Secretariat of Health, first of Epidemiology and then of Preventive Medicine, I lived those foreign pressures, together with Federico Chávez Peón. On three different occasions we rejected them."
"A CIA in Mexico's health? Impossible!" said Fernández de Castro.
