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.

"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.

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.

I'll volunteer to be a human subject.

I think St. Jude's is also doing lots of (adult) stem cell work, too.

They're in Memphis, Tennessee, I believe.
