Uncle Ferd says dem terrorists gonna try to kill us all... H5N1 Flu Virus Could be 'Engineered' to Put Hundreds of Millions at Risk, Scientist Tells Homeland Security Committee April 26, 2012 - If H5N1 bird flu, which has a 60-percent fatality rate, were engineered to spread like seasonal flu, hundreds of millions of lives would be at risk, a scientist told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Thursday.
humm getting closer i see http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/20/news/la-heb-bird-flu-collins-20120420 if some ones accidentally releases it yeah ahha
Duck killer dies of bird flu... Vietnamese Man Dies of H5N1 Bird Flu January 21, 2014 ~ A 52-year-old man in Ho Chi Minh City has become the first person in Vietnam to die from bird flu in nine months.
Get it out there??? Are you kidding? potential for 3.5 billion dead or more and you think this is a good thing or what? With many of the early victims being relatively scarce health care providers?
Get it out there? Already been tried!! http://socioecohistory.wordpress.com/2009/03/07/live-avian-flu-virus-placed-in-baxter-vaccine-materials-sent-to-18-countries/ If you don't like that source, do a Google search with the key words: H5N1 Baxter Labs. I saw this when it first broke. Considering the virulence, along with air travel of infected persons, global death toll was estimated to be as high as 3 billion within 2 weeks. It's flu season! Hurry and get your shot!
Well send me a dose & I'll try it for them. I wonder about some of the current flu viruses and how people contract them. Do they come from an infected person spitting in a drain, the water headed to the treatment plant where chemicals can't kill it, through the filters and back into someone's water tap again. And a good reason to stay away from medical treatment facilities, waiting rooms, etc. Dr. Rider says that although more extensive testing is needed, "DRACO has the potential to revolutionize the treatment and prevention of virtually all viral diseases, including everything from the common cold to Ebola." He adds, "Because the antiviral activity of DRACO is so broad spectrum, we hope that it may even be useful against outbreaks of new or mutated viruses, such as the 2003 SARS [severe acute respiratory syndrome] outbreak." This work is funded by a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the New England Regional Center of Excellence for Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Diseases, with previous funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and Director of Defense Research & Engineering (now the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering).

Agreed. Have banchie try it first and see how deadly it really is. Who pays these scientists to do these dumb things and can we stop the payment? Thanks!
Yep. We spent god knows how many years and how much money in eliminating the Smallpox virus, and they still keep the stuff locked up in a vault. Why?
Research into what, exactly? What else do we need to know about a virus which has killed over 300 million people just in the 20th century? We have a vaccine for Smallpox and we don't need the virus kept alive any longer. http://esciencenews.com/articles/2009/12/22/mystery.solved.scientists.now.know.how.smallpox.kills
Deadly chickens in Cameroon... H5N1 Virus Resurfaces in Cameroon June 02, 2016 Huge quantities of live chickens and other table birds are stockpiling in Kiossi on Cameroon's southern border, following a ban on Cameroon table birds by neighboring Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. The ban was announced as a result of the resurgence of the avian influenza virus that has claimed 40,000 birds.
H5N6 spreading from farm fowl to wildlife... Bird flu virus spreading in South Korea from farm to wildlife Dec. 6, 2016 - Investigators recently identified the H5N6 virus among migratory birds.
The very best way to avoid the flu is to be as healthy as possible (no drinking or smoking, no obesity, and physically fit), and get loads of sleep. I'm exposed to viruses ALOT, but I actually catch less of them than many people who aren't. Being super healthy, even when we do contract a virus, we won't get nearly as sick (and are much less likely to die) than those who aren't healthy.
