However, the vaccines recently produced by India as well as by China, are aimed at the CURRENT H5N1 STRAIN and will be of no help if the virus mutates in to a real human virus strain.

As you know, H5N1 is a Bird Flu virus, which is NOT supposed to be killing people.

The new vaccines could well help with the current H5N1 strain, but if the virus mutates in to a human virus, as it did back in 1918, the above mentioned vaccines will not provide any protection against the new strain.

In that case, these vaccines can only mislead every one in to a false sense of security, as well as resulting in a wastage of badly needed resources.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the The-Best-Bird-Flu-Blogs team hates good news en only believes in doom. Anyone who is not a believer of the full doom-scenario receives a burst-your-bubble-warning.

Well buddy, journalism suffocates a person by occupying every trace of free time available. Hence, the latitude in posting.
Put your minimally affordable bandwidth where your mouth is mail me a write up about what you feel about the industry or academia. I presume you are from India too. So you must neccesarily have a lot of pent up angst!
