Global Flu Pandemic ‘Inevitable,’ Expert Warns

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A vaccine manufacturer is saying that a global flu pandemic is likely to occur within a couple of years.It’s not like he is saying this could happen within 5 or 10 years,he’s saying “A new global flu pandemic within the next couple years is inevitable.” How does he know this, does he have a crystal ball?Or is this another planned event? The scare we had with the H1N1 was a man made  virus,it was an attempt to try and force mandatory vaccinations.I bet if this global flu pandemic does arise, like he seems to be so sure it will, it would be unleashed deliberately.

Global Flu Pandemic ‘Inevitable,’ Expert Warns

It may only be a matter of time before bird flu can be passed between humans

A new global flu pandemic within the next couple years is inevitable, one prominent flu vaccine manufacturer says.

Joseph Kim, head of Inovio Pharmaceuticals, which is currently working on a “universal” flu vaccine that would protect against most strains of the virus, says the world is due for a massive bird flu outbreak that could be much deadlier than the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

“I really believe we were lucky in 2009 [with the swine flu] because the strain that won out was not particularly lethal,” he says. “Bird flu kills over 60 percent of people that it infects, regardless of health or age. It is a phenomenal killing machine—our only saving grace thus far is the virus has not yet jumped to humans.”

Fears about the possibility of an H5N1 avian flu pandemic first surfaced in the mid 2000s—since then, it has infected more than 600 people, killing more than 350 of them, mostly in southeast Asia. The global toll thus far has been mild because the disease can only be transmitted from bird to bird and from bird to human. But experts fear that a few simple mutations in the virus could make it transmissible from human to human.

Last year, Ron Fouchier, a dutch flu researcher, genetically modified a strain of H5N1 so that it was transmissible between ferrets, which are often used to test human-to-human transmissibility. At the time, Fouchier said he had created “probably one of the most dangerous viruses you can make.” Paul Keim, a geneticist with the U.S. National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, echoed that sentiment: “I can’t think of another pathogenic organism that is as scary as this one,” he said. “I don’t think anthrax is scary at all compared to this.”
