U.S. Journal Prints Controversial "bird flu" Research for Weaponized H5N1 Capable of Going Airborne
Saturday, June 23, 2012
The moniker "bird flu" was a CDC creation in an attempt to cover the fact that there was no such thing or word before the nutcase Johan Hultin desecrated the graves of Alaska Native Americans and unearthed H5N1 viral DNA from a corpse at Brevig Mission, Alaska; nothing in print using name "bird flu" before 1997; story below an attempt to cover for insane virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka by noting his H1N1 work, forgot to mention his weaponization of H5N1 along with Teridah Ernala Ginting in a secret, illegal BSL 3 lab at Kobe University Japan* specifically for that reason, appears from "mainstream media" that CDC, WHO gearing up for yet another release of the weaponized H5N1 virus

"I believe that the benefits are greater than the risks. Does that mean there's no risk? No, of course not," he said.
"Being in the free and open literature would make it much easier to get a lot of the good guys involved than the risk of getting the rare bad guy involved."

The US journal Science published research Thursday on how a mutant bird flu may spread among mammals and possibly humans, following months of controversy over the risks of bioterrorism.

The paper detailed how a Dutch lab engineered an H5N1 bird flu virus that can be transmitted in the air among ferrets, and followed the publication last month of findings by a US-based team that made similar advances.
Last year, a US biosecurity panel called for only heavily edited results of the two papers to be released, for fear that an ill-intentioned scientist might be able to use the data to unleash a potent and lethal form of bird flu that humans could catch easily.
But international experts have since agreed that the benefits of publishing outweighed the risks.
Deadly flu pandemics have killed millions of people in the past. Until now, there have been fewer than 600 human cases of H5N1 bird flu infection in the world since it first infected people in Hong Kong in 1997, but more than half of all cases have been fatal.

The World Health Organization has tallied 606 human cases of bird flu since 2003 and 357 deaths, according to its latest report issued this month.
Lead researcher Ron Fouchier, a scientist at the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands, said the aim was to gain a better understanding of how avian flu is spread in order to prepare for a potential human outbreak.
"The virus did not kill the ferrets that were infected via the aerosol route," said Fouchier, who has frequently stressed that the dangers of his research were overblown in the media.

"Anybody with access to the scientific literature can read all about dangerous pathogens that are more interesting to terrorize the world with than our particular virus."
Instead, Fouchier and his colleagues showed that the H5N1 virus could become airborne among ferrets -- considered a reasonable but not perfect model for humans -- after as few as five mutations and without mixing H5N1 with another flu virus.
The previous paper by Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin and colleagues, published in May in the British journal Nature, described how the virus could become airborne after a series of mutations and re-assortments with the 2009 H1N1 virus, or "swine flu."
The two papers offer important insights into what forms a spreadable bird flu may take, and could lead to more advances in how to stop it, said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

But it remains unclear just how much risk people face, according to Derek Smith from the University of Cambridge, who co-authored an article in the same edition of Science on the potential for such a virus to evolve in humans.
Smith said his team's research determined that viruses with two of the mutations are already being found in birds.
To reach the minimum level of five mutations that Fouchier's team described looks "pretty difficult, but we don't yet know how difficult it is," he said.
"We now know we are living on a fault line. What we have discovered in this working collaboration with Drs Fouchier and Kawaoka is that it is an active fault line," he told reporters.
Asked if such a virus would inevitably evolve in nature, Smith likened that to asking, "Could it ever snow in the Sahara?"

"It is absolutely within the realm of possibility that they could evolve in a human host or some other mammalian host. We see nothing -- we see no fundamental hurdle to that happening," he added.
In the meantime, Fauci said a voluntary moratorium on research that involves the causes or transmissibility of H5N1 has yet to be lifted, as leading US health officials try to establish rules for future experiments that could raise alarm among biosecurity experts.
"We are still struggling a bit," said Fauci.
"I can't tell you when it's going to be voluntarily lifted, but we are working very hard right now (to establish a) broad general criteria of the kinds of experiments that could be done."
The editor-in-chief of Science, Bruce Alberts, said the eight-month-long controversy "has shone a spotlight on the need to deal more effectively with 'dual-use research of concern.'"

Rare Drug-Resistant Bacteria Spotted in U.S. Hospital : CDC Now Attempting to Blame "Antibiotic Overuse"
Saturday, June 23, 2012
Hell yes they are being overused, people are scared shitless* of the weaponized viruses being created by the CDC and their overseas affiliates - this is nothing but value-added psyops, CDC building cover story on weaponized releases; attempting now to sub-consciously make Americans afraid of antibiotics - the only known cure for weaponized bacteria they created, along with the viral weaponized H5N1, genetically engineered by madman virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka and Teridah Ernala Ginting in an illegal BSL 3 lab at Kobe University, Japan and is capable - in their own words - of going airborne and for which there is no cure, at least for the "useless eaters"

THURSDAY, HealthDay News --
A rare type of deadly bacteria was found in two patients in a Rhode Island hospital in 2011, but swift treatment and infection control measures stopped any further spread, a new government report shows.
The bacterium -- called New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae -- is highly resistant to antibiotics and easily spread. It is rare in the United States, but more common in areas including India, Pakistan, Cambodia and other Asian countries.
"These people had the bacteria in their body, but fortunately it was not causing an infection anywhere," said lead researcher Dr. Leonard Mermel, medical director of the department of epidemiology and infection control at Rhode Island Hospital, in Providence.
The bacteria were isolated in one patient's urine sample and in another patient's fecal sample, but nowhere else in their body.
Infections with this strain of bacteria, however, can be deadly and there are few treatment options, Mermel said.
Where the bacteria is endemic, its growth is spurred on by several conditions, he said.
"In many parts of the developing world, you can just walk into a pharmacy and get antibiotics without a prescription, so there is widespread antibiotic use," Mermel said.
This ease of getting antibiotics coupled with poor sanitation promotes bacteria growth and creates a "perfect storm" for the development of resistant strains of bacteria, he said.
The report was published in this week's issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a publication of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The first patient was hospitalized in Rhode Island, after being hospitalized in her native Cambodia and treated with antibiotics. In the U.S. hospital, infection was discovered and she received a wide range of antibiotics. However, only partial infection control measures were taken. Eventually, the infection spread to another patient in the same ward.
At that time, stronger infection control measures were taken and no other patients were infected.
Dr. Marc Siegel, an infectious disease expert and associate professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, said that "this is not an epidemic, but it is eyebrow-raising. This bacteria is very problematic and highly resistant to antibiotics."
So far, this hasn't become epidemic, he said. "These are isolated cases," he said. "This is another resistant bacteria -- an ultra-resistant bacteria."
Siegel doesn't expect to see this bacteria become common in the United States.
"I don't think it's going to take hold here," he said. "I am concerned more about the importing of this bacteria. We are going to be seeing more cases."
The goal is to control the bacteria with infection precautions, including patient isolation, Siegel said.
This case drives home several points, he noted. "We need better sanitation in hospitals. We need to be vigilant in searching for these types of bacteria. We really could use more antibiotics. There have been almost no new antibiotics in the past decade."
It's the tip of the iceberg, Siegel said. "The iceberg is the developing of resistant bacteria, but this bacteria is not likely to spread in the near future, but it is of concern."
The overuse of antibiotics adds to the creation of these resistant strains, he added.
