[ScienceBlogs Channel : Medicine & Health] How the flu pandemic looks to us at this point : Effect Measure: First, the pandemic strain may out-compete some of the seasonal flu strains - as happened in some countries in the Southern Hemisphere during their flu season this year - which means this year’s seasonal flu strains may cause less disease than usual. Second, one of the seasonal flu strains, H3N2, may be drifting from the one that’s in the 2009-2010 vaccine, which means this year’s seasonal vaccine may be less effective than usual.

[Raygent] Raygent » H1N1 Influenza vaccine manufacturers ramp up for October 15: In a recent report by the CDC and with limited data, three rapid diagnostic tests (RIDTs) for H1N1 Flu are relatively insensitive for detecting H1N1 virus when viral titers were low compared to the standard molecular test real time reverse transcription-polymerase (RT-PCR) chain reaction. With higher titers of virus the sensitivity of the three tests were 89-100% but with lower titers the sensitivity declined to 40-69% for the three tests by Inverness, Becton-Dickinson and Quidel.

[Time to Think] Are vaccine-makers and vaccine-promoters trustworthy? « Time to Think: The report adds, “Smith-Kline-French, the pharmaceutical company who became Smith-Kline-Beecham and were involved in UK manufacture at that time, were concerned about these safety issues and were reluctant to obtain a UK license for their Urabe-containing vaccines. As a result of their ”˜concern’ that children might be seriously damaged by one of their products, they requested that the UK government indemnify them against possible legal action that might be taken as a result of ”˜losses’ associated with the vaccine, which by then was known to carry significant risk to health.

[Jay P. Greene's Blog] Are Schools Prepared for the Flu? « Jay P. Greene's Blog: Second, molecular biology has provided is that, according to scientists at CDC and elsewhere, “genetic markers predictive of adaptation to humans are not currently present in the [H1N1] viruses, suggesting previously unrecognized determinants could be responsible for transmission.” This suggests two things: first, this virus may have other things to teach us; second, we do not know the whole story of how influenza becomes transmissible from human to human, so our monitoring of H5N1 for these markers is incomplete.

Who knows but I’ll bet anyone a sit down beer date with Obama that on August 20, 2005 the residents of New Orleans could never have imagined their homes would be invaded under orders of the government, that they would be forcibly removed from their property whether they were in danger of being flooded out or not and that they would have their firearms removed from their possession by fellow American citizens at gunpoint under the Bush administration.

This is very different from the more common "seasonal flu" which does not replicate in the lungs.

[Gulag Blog] The vaccines are far more deadly than the swine flu | Gulag Blog: A senior virologist based in Canberra, Australia, told the press he thought that the virus could have been created in a laboratory and released by accident [3]. Some analysts even suggest, without corroborating evidence, that it was made intentionally as a bioweapon [4], while others blame the intensive livestock industry and extensive trafficking of love animals over long distances, which provide plenty of opportunity for generating exotic recombinants [5].

[Health Spectator] Health Spectator » Blog Archive » Swine flu virulence still at issue: Certainly the worst fear of all concerned is that the H1N1 virus could mutate into something resembling one of the current strains of avian flu such as H5N1, which has killed 50-60% of the humans it infected. Currently, H5N1 shows none of the infectious ability of H1N1 in human populations, but were that to change—as through a genetic recombination that combines the worse of both pathogens—the nightmares of those who fear the worst could be realized.
