therefore resistant birds from which healthy, resistant stock can be raised as
well as removing a pool from which to create a vaccine . 2) The mutations of
influenza viruses are more likely to come from swine accepting the avian
influenza, combining it with their own which is more easily accepted by humans
or from our own (human) infectives that have already had the disease. Even on the CDC website
the link of bird/swine/human is there. They just prefer to ignore it!??? These
swine influenzas will continue at this (approximately 10 year cycle) to be
changed about every 75 to 80 years (avian) if the Asian system of farming is
not addressed. Pork is unclean as 2 or more ancient religious philosophies
expound and perhaps this is what they were trying to tell our so much more
intelligent scientists and doctors. The vaccines they
currently have or are currently making will not work. They are the wrong
combination of proteins. Constantly culling birds that show the antibodies
reduces the chance of finding a source of anti-bodies that will
work. And who benefits from all this? the pharmaceutical corporations and the
genetic corporations. Who will suffer from this idiocy? All humanity” Well said. The vaccine will
have to be produced based on the strain of the human virus after it erupts, and
they’ve estimated it will take four months to do that. There was a good report
from NewsHour Thursday night, with comments by a medical researcher pointing
out that the wider range these infected migrating birds spread over dense human
living areas, the greater exposure the avian virus has to intermingle with the
human (or swine) flu virus. Every time they come into contact with each other,
it increases the likelihood that the process we are dreading happens sooner. One of the experts interviewed also pointed out that although bird migration
patterns are mostly north and south, they overlap. There are 3 major flyways in
Asia, which overlap with the North American flyways in Alaska, so the avian flu
could enter North America from there. Unfortunately, the African continent is
more vulnerable and less prepared to react. KwC In case my rough summary is lacking, please review to the NewsHour
transcript and streaming video. Assessing the bird
