A new study was released that shows the United Nation’s prediction that the H5N1 bird flu kills nearly 60% of infected people may be overblown and this type of flu may only have a 1% death rate. The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) counted 586 cases of H5N1 bird flu and 346 people died. But WHO may have failed to consider millions of people who contracted the H5N1 flu with only mild symptoms. The news comes just as debates continue over the controversial release of weaponized H5N1 bird flu blueprints that would potentially spawn a bioterrorism pandemic.
The study was released just as the United Nations WHO announced its support of publishing papers on controversial experiments of more contagious laboratory created forms of H5N1.
Laboratory Mutant H5N1 Controversy
Scientists created a mutant experimental H5N1 strain that underwent 5 genetic alterations and was created to be airborne and highly contagious in humans. Critics have said that it’s a bad idea for scientists to turn a lethal virus into a deadly and highly contagious virus, and then to publish how they did it so others can copy the process.
Obviously, the mutant H5N1 virus that was designed to attach to human respiratory tract cells is a potential serious threat to public health.
Public outrage halted the publishing of the laboratory H5N1 experiment blueprints due to bio-terrorism fears that it could cause a pandemic. The journals Science and Nature have announced plans to publish the papers in full.
It is important to note that while the “natural” form of H5N1 may only kill 1% of those infected, the new laboratory strain appears to be far more contagious. Additionally, the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 killed 20 to 40 million people but only had a mortality rate of 2.5%.
Pandemics (False or Not) Create Huge Profits
Global vaccine sales hit a slump from the late 1990′s up to 2003. The phony H1N1 pandemic, toted by the World Health Organization and the CDC, spawned the massively popular H1N1 vaccine. Linked to nerve disorders and other health complications, the injection also generated massive profits as it was hyped to fight against ‘deadly‘ H1N1.

If you caught bird flu, it is really serious and annoying problem. The information provided here is very helpful but, I have searched a lot about bird flu and found few sites too that were providing Ayurvedic Remedies for Bird Flu .
