Hmmm, H5N1 infects birds. Birds infect humans that come in close contact. Humans die. I knew it was a conspiracy!!!

Good thing that only scientist answer these questions and not conspiracy theorist......Yes, some vaccines do include"part" of the virus sometimes. however it is usually either a "dead" "part" or a part that is fabricated to look like the virus, but not act like it. Vaccines do wonders, and they really work. Take smallpox for example. H5N1 is a real threat, as was SARS. Thanks to a timely response though, it did not become the threat it could have. H5N1 refers to part of the genetic makeup of the virus. The H5N1 strain is a strain of virus that results when the human flu becomes encapsulated in the protein coating of the bird flu. So basically we end up with the human flu that wears a mask so that our immune system does not recognize it. Is it going to end the world? Probably not, but is it a real possible threat? Absolutely. My guess though is that something worse is going to come along eventually. Also, you should know that it cost 1 billion dollars to develop a new drug, of those 1 out of 20 is approved. So basically a drug company gets one medication for every 20 billion invested. The drug needs to make money to fund new drugs.Hope that helps!

This particular strain of the virus hasn't actually been properly proven to be able to infect humans. Remember the big SARS scare a few years ago? It was supposed to be the worst thing since the plague and then all of a sudden, everything was ok and the subject was dropped like a dead fish. We're seeing the same again here. It's all about vaccines and scaring people into taking their cocktails of death. More money for big pharma. Also, a vaccine works by including a tiny sample of the virus it's supposed to protect you against in the vain hope your body will build up a resistance to it. In simple terms, before you have the vaccine you're not infected and after you have it, you are infected. Treat vaccines like every other drug: just say no!

Why can't it be both? Imagine for a second that the world is over-populated, resources are dwindling, and that global warming (caused by too many people) is a real and growing problem... The only realistic solution is to kill many, many people and fast. Do you know how easy it is to create a virus like H5N1 in a lab? Do you know how easy it is to manipulate the media into preping the industrialized nations for this pandemic? Do you know how many poor people there are in the world? Do you know the population control techniques the WHO has used in the past? Do you know how easy it is to create a vaccine for a virus you already possess? If you don't know, do betta axe somebody.

H5N1: a pharmacist monetary game. Correct answer. H5N1 has already been shown to be completely deactivated using mushrooms like Agarikon, or Oregano Oil.........Its like the SARS hysteria. What happened? Nothing. Our immune systems were designed to fight new viral strains, and if you have a good one, you should not worry. If you do not, do something about it. We all create our illnesses, as we also create our well-being.
