Scientists Closing In On ‘Universal’ Flu Vaccine

AFP: Scientists on Sunday unveiled lab-made human antibodies that can disable several types of influenza, including highly-lethal H5N1 bird flu and the "Spanish Flu" strain that killed tens of millions in 1918. Tested in mice, the antibodies work by binding to a previously obscure structure in the flu virus which, when blocked, sabotages the pathogen's ability to enter the cell it is trying to infect, according to the study.

One more cure that’ll never see the light of day. Half the drug store shelves would be empty if this was allowed out.

No, I think they may let it go through. You can charge a lot of money for vaccinations. It shocks me how many vaccinations were optional when my almost 10 year old daughter was a baby and now they are mandatory. Chicken pox is one of them. We don’t fight the system on vaccinations. There are people braver than I that do that. You watch. 10 years from now they will make something like this mandatory.
