禽流感发生时间的政治选择(9)

Lethal?

At  this  writing,  the  avian  flu  is  said  to  have  killed  "about  65  people"  in  Southeast  Asia  during  the  past  two  years!  Little  to  no  data  is  available  on  these  individuals  who  most  commonly  had  immune-compromising  medical  conditions.  Further,  all  deaths  were  in  Asian  countries  with  questionable  health  services.

Conversely,  other  forms  of  flu  kill  more  than  40,000  North  Americans  annually,  generally  the  immune-compromised  elderly.

Transmissibile?

According  to  USA  Today  (October  9,  2005),  "European  health  officials  are  working  to  contain  the  [avian  flu]  virus,  which  so  far  has  not  infected  anyone  in  the  region."  Although,  allegedly  "more  than  140  million  birds  have  died  or  been  destroyed,  .  .  .  and  financial  losses  to  the  poultry  sector  have  topped  $10  billion."  This  propaganda  actually  admits,  "the  current  virus,  known  as  H5N1,  has  not  yet  mutated  to  the  point  at  which  it  can  easily  spread  from  person  to  person."  In  fact,  it  is  likely  to  have  never  spread  from  person  to  person  other  than  during  laboratory  handling!(5)

Treatability?

"The  U.S.  Senate  has  already  approved  a  $3.9  billion  package  to  buy  vaccines  and  antiviral  medications,  and  the  Administration  is  also  preparing  a  request  for  an  additional  $6  billion  to  $10  billion,"  according  to  a  current  BusinessWeek  report.(  6)

"Beam  me  up  Scottie,  there  is  no  intelligent  life  on  this  planet."  This  largely  explains  why  the  public  puts  up  with  this  deadly  deception.  Even  USA  Today  bemoans,  "there  is  no  human  vaccine  yet."  So  how  come  the  U.S.  Senate  is  rushing  to  spend  all  these  billions  for  an  avian  flu  vaccine?

I  suppose  we  should  overlook  the  fact  that  the  current  frightening  strain  of  H5N1  avian  flu  virus  has  never  readily  jumped  from  human  to  human,  and  not  commonly  from  birds  to  humans  either.  Thus,  an  effective  vaccine  can  only  be  prepared  by  mutating  this  virus,  thus  creating  what  the  world  fears  most.  Let  me  explain.  .  .  .   (责任编辑：泉水)
