Baxter admits contaminated seasonal flu product contained live bird flu virus

Feb 27, 2009

The company that released contaminated flu virus material from a plant in Austria confirmed Friday that the experimental product contained live H5N1 avian flu viruses.


Quote:
People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.

Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could have resulted in dire consequences.

While H5N1 doesn't easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.

That mixing process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.

Wrong place. Can't they give free vacations to places teeming with people?? I keep hoping for our only hope as a species.
 
Two Comments

One - The experts know the need for good bio-security practices, but they weren't followed. No doubt overriden by corporate management.

Two - They are probably "Self-Regulated", so we can all sleep safely.

No need for government intervention - they would only mess things up.
 
Government can only get in the way of free enterprise and the self regulating market.


The market should determine the level of appropriate self governess. If you kill all of your prospective customers, you deserve to fail.

Ask Tempest.

I'd say that it has produced the desired effects for those who allegedly practice such things in the privacy of plain sight.

Do you mean vaccinations?

"Get your free Vaccination Cruise tickets here! Free! All paid for! Free cruise, FREE VACCINATION! Get yours before we run out! Departure to Heavanly Island every morning at eight! FREE TICKETS!"
 
I thought he meant give free vacations to those incubating the pandemic virus's to get maximum effect of exposure in the most highly populated spots.
 
Don't worry, they'll wipe themselves / be wiped out with AIDS.

This isn't racist or anything of the sort, simply look up the statistics. It's mind-boggling how many folks over there are HIV or AIDS positive.

You're right, but as was stated, between civil wars, droughts, famines ..and "practices" ..they're probably self regulating.

How about India and China? The error in population estimates outpaces our population by a decent margin.

Someone has to go ..and they got more go to go with.

I wish it could be different, but I like my comfy chair. If I can't have it ..it would be unfair
