This is some of the most promising news I've ever seen. The article doesn't say how long till there's large scale production, but this research is a HUGE ray of hope!

This is why I've been donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for as long as I can remember.

I wonder if this could be the "one flu shot fits all" vaccine?
It could really reduce flu season if it becomes the standard flu shot.
To: Judith Anne
"We wouldn't have to wait to start developing a vaccine against it until after the original virus mutated." Excellent news.
When can I get some, lol. I also wonder if there are 'side-effects' in humans? (Like the swine-flu vaccine). I know, it's too soon to know.
I can add it to my (ahem) hurricane supplies.

I think it is.
It could literally save millions of American lives.

WOW! just in time when a breakout is expected. How do they do that?? (sarcasm) To all this bird flu is not going to ravage the planet. It's more crapola government manipulation on us sheeple.

Cool! So, if this avian flu variety mutates to allow human to human infection, we can do a little experiment. I'll get the vaccine and you can skip it. How's that sound to you? Then we can see who survives and who doesn't.

How many years, yes YEARS, before it will actually be available?

This is why I've been donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for as long as I can remember.I am amazed at some of the things I have read that St. Jude is doing.
I haven't donated before, but I intend to do so right now.

I think St. Jude's is also doing lots of (adult) stem cell work, too.
They're in Memphis, Tennessee, I believe.

I'm building a special shelter with a capsule where I can freeze myself when the flu hits. It'll automatically unthaw me 50 years later when civilization starts to get back on it's feet. I just hope the bird flu victims don't rise from the dead as zombies, cause I won't know what type of weapons I'll have to stock beforehand that can kill them.

How many years, yes YEARS, before it will actually be available? I don't know, but human trials haven't started yet. And with the significant numbers of people who think this whole thing is a boondoggle jerried up to benefit big pharma, the vaccine may NEVER be available (thank you John Edwards).
