 Welcome to BirdFlu.com. We strive to connect you with important and timely sources of information that you will not easily find in mass media news reports and popular search engines. Updates will be posted as the evolving bird flu crisis unfolds. "And so they're trying to hide the fact that there are deaths that are showing up in Jiangsu - which is consistent with reports that the hospitals in Jiangsu are full - but they're trying to put out this story that well, they did this culling of the live markets and now everything is fine. And so what's happening in China today - literally like in the last couple of days - is starting to look a whole lot like what happened in China in the SARS outbreak, where it became clear there was a problem and they said, "Don't worry about it, things are getting better, it's under control" - and it was just managing what was being reported..." -- Dr. Henry L. Niman, Phone Interview at Rense.com, May 2, 2013 "Cases going down????? H7N9 cases are EXPLODING in China, including the second case in Fujian province and the cluster in Shandong. You really need to look at the map and see the distribution, not the REPORTED number of confirmed cases." -- Dr. Henry L. Niman, Rhiza Labs Flu Tracker Forum, April 28, 2013 "H7N9 is all about mammalian adaptation via SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISMS, especially those in and around the RECEPTOR BINDING DOMAIN. Q226L is common in H9 in H9N2. The acquisition of the H9N2 internal genes made Q226L viable in H7, so it is in most of the poultry sequences, as well as most of the human H7N9 sequences. L226I is the HUMAN key change, which is in SEASONAL flu. When it appeared in Hangzhou/1 (a chef who was infected in Jiangsu, where he works) it signaled HUMAN adaptation (L226I is NOT in poultry, and neither is PB2 E627K). When it appeared in Jiangsu/1 and every position in H7, N9, and MP EXACTLY matched Hangzhou/1 it signaled HUMAN TO HUMAN CLONAL EXPANSION..." -- Dr. Henry L. Niman, Rhiza Labs Flu Tracker Forum, April 28, 2013 "Most scientists also understand the concept of clonal expansion, so when 4 of 4 H7N9 human sequences have E627K in contrast to 0 of 3 avian sequences, they understand that the E627K is transmitting H2H via clonal expansion, while the H7N9 without E627K is transmitting B2B via clonal expansion. H7N9 vaccine production has begun and the WHO propaganda statements on H2H are for the general public, who have no clue." -- Dr. Henry L. Niman, Rhiza Labs Flu Tracker Forum, April 16, 2013 "Most scientists know that H7N9 is going pandemic and those paying attention understand the evolution." -- Dr. Henry L.

"A Russian virus expert warned that a human pandemic of the bird flu virus was highly likely and called on the government to stock up on medicine and prepare hospital beds. 'No quarantine measure can prevent the pandemic. It can only slow it for a few days,' Dmitry Lvov, director of the Virology Institute at the Russian Academy of Sciences said at a news conference in Moscow.... The Russian expert warned there was a 90 percent likelihood that the current form of the H5N1 bird flu virus could mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans." -- Today Online, March 8, 2006 (also see Russian News & Information Agency) BirdFlu.com All Rights Reserved | |||||
