Then you must be aware that there is no vaccine for H5N1 in humans.

But there IS a vaccine for the primary carriers (birds). It does have a lethality rate that would be economically unacceptable in US or European poultry flocks. Even Asian nations did not quibble about killing off hundreds of thousands of birds. Human vaccine development may not become necessary in the event that the primary carriers are vaccinated. Reference rabies. The point being that Asian nations must develop hygiene, healthcare, and basic sanitary conditions. Or risk becoming quarantined nations. In case nobody noticed, we shut down all international travel one day in September, 2001. It would be very possible to isolate specific countries or origination points, and exterminate the bulk of the primary carriers. The Chinese are showing little restraint with respect to dogs and rabies this very day.
