U.S.virologists intentionally Engineer super-deathly pandemic flu virus.
(NaturalNews) Two American researchers whose efforts
to deliberately re-engineer the H5N1 avian flu virus to be more virulent
and deadly to humans are now asking that a government-advised
moratorium on their controversial research be lifted. According to TIME,
the duo alleges that precise details about how it developed the deadly
flu strain must be made public, and that its controversial research be
allowed to continue for the sake of "public health."
As we reported back in early 2012, Ron Fouchier from the Erasmus
Medical Center in the Netherlands and Yoshihiro Kawaoka from the
University of Wisconsin intentionally developed a militarized strain of
H5N1 avian flu capable of easily transmitting among mammals. Natural
strains of H5N1, on the other hand, primarily transmit between birds and
other fowl only, which means this type of flu is not that significant
of a threat to humans.
But for the alleged purpose of learning how H5N1 might mutate at some
point in the future to become more of a threat to humans, Fouchier and
Kawaoka deliberately induced these mutations in test ferrets with
complete success. In the process, they essentially discovered a way to
potentially spark a global flu pandemic with the potential to kill or
seriously injure billions of people. And following their insane
discovery, they actually tried to publish the recipe for this deadly
strain in public journals.
Concerned about the possibility that this critical information might
be misused, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB),
a federal advisory committee that oversees research of this nature,
urged the two scientists not to publish their findings in the journals
Nature and Science. And while they agreed to this recommendation
initially, Fouchier and Kawaoka are now pushing to continue on with
their work.
"Because H5N1 virus transmission studies are essential for pandemic
preparedness and understanding the adaptation of influenza viruses to
mammals, researchers who have approval from their governments and
institutions to conduct this research safely, under appropriate
biosafety and biosecurity conditions, have a public-health
responsibility to resume this important work," allege the original
researchers about their work.
Only about 350 people worldwide have ever died from H5N1
Based on the wording of this petition, you would think that H5N1 is
responsible for killing at least tens of thousands of people every year,
and that we must take action now to stop its spread. But in reality,
H5N1 has only infected about 600 people ever since it was first
discovered in Hong Kong back in 1997. And among these 600, only about
350 ended up dying, which means roughly 24 people a year, on average,
die from H5N1 infection.
Contrast this with the roughly 5,000 Americans who die every year
from food poisoning, for instance, and it becomes abundantly clear that
H5N1 is hardly the serious public health threat that Fouchier, Kawaoka,
and others continually claim it is. The average person is more likely to
die from choking on a piece of lettuce than he or she is of ever
contracting H5N1 influenza, let alone dying from it. So why all the
focus on deliberately inducing H5N1 to spread among humans and cause a
real pandemic?
The real answer to this question is shrouded in mystery. If you
believe the official explanation, researchers merely want to anticipate
how H5N1 might mutate in the future in order to get a handle early on
how to address it. It is a purely hypothetical scenario that may not
ever come to pass, of course, but it is the purported reason and
justification for such research, even though such research could end up
being the cause of a deadly H5N1 outbreak in the very near future.
And this brings us to the second and more sinister explanation.
Researchers could be deliberately engineering a super-deadly form of
H5N1 for the unstated purpose of eventually releasing it into the wild
in order to trigger a pandemic. This is not that far-fetched when
considering that the researchers involved in this work are carefully
studying how many times the already-mutated virus needs to spread
between mammals on its own in order to naturally mutate again into an
even more deadly virus.
"The case fatality rate of wild H5N1 in the WHO (World Health
Organization) database is nearly 60 percent ... So if a strain of H5N1
with that fatality rate were engineered to spread like seasonal flu,
hundreds of millions of people's lives would be at risk," Thomas
Inglesby, Director and CEO of the Center for Biosecurity at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, is quoted as saying by
CNSNews.com.
"Even a strain a hundred times less fatal would place at risk millions of people's lives," he added.
