A 20 year friend of mine sister works for USAMRID we were talking about this with her the other day at a BBQ social. They and CDC Atlanta already Have H5 antibodies and the protein sequences of the whole clade of H5Nx avian influenza virus it has been expected it would eventually jump to humans and human to human no need for MRNA conventional flu vaccine is easy to make and with the H5 antibodies on hand all you need is chicken eggs or growth medium to.churn out vast amounts of conventional flu vaccine targeting the whole H5 clade. When not if H5N1 goes human to human they will has a produce it. H5N1 has a 50 to 80% mortality rate in humans it’s the stuff of apocalyptic movies. If one wants to face a 50% death rate on natural immunity more power too them but flu is well understood and easy to make vaccines for.
Well that’s good to hear that they might make a conventional vaccine. I’m kinda leery of all vaccines these days. But with that sort of mortality rate I’d probably consider at least a conventional vaccine. I’ve heard though that if this avian flu became transmissible to readily infect humans chances are it would become less deadly by that point. I’ll play it by ear and check the research before I do anything.
