Seal flu could pose a new threat to human health, scientists have warned... get ready for (for us to create) the vaccine hysteria

Seal flu could pose a new threat to human health, scientists have warned.

A new flu virus identified in American harbour seals has the potential to pass to other mammals, including humans, say experts.

The H3N8 strain was discovered after the death of 162 New England harbour seals last year.

Post-mortem examinations of five of the animals showed they were killed by a flu infection.

The strain is closely related to one that has been circulating in North American birds since 2002. But unlike the bird strain, it has adapted to living in mammals.

It has also evolved mutations known to ease transmission and cause more severe symptoms. Specifically, the virus has the ability to target proteins known as cytokines found in human lungs.

This could cause the immune system to go into overdrive and attack itself, causing tissue damage.

Dr Anne Moscona, from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, who led the researchers, said: 'There is a concern that we have a new mammalian-transmissible virus to which humans haven't been exposed yet. It's a combination we haven't seen in disease before.'

It's called sucking corporate cock to get ahead .... or .... giving head to get ahead.

I was completely oblivious to this until someone mentioned it to me the other day. My plan to remove myself from the claws of the fear-factory appears to be working.

Everyone else just has to crack on and do it now, and we should all be fine.

Have you been kicking that dog again ?

Not this shit again... What ever flu is the next one? Monkey flu? Lizard flu? Fishflu? BIrdfly? Oh crap, we're already had that... umm, batflu, dogflu, catflu, mouseflu.....

It's a disgrace. All this effort to draw attention away from the one flu that is really really bad. Manflu.

There is something like 200,000 deaths world wide from the common flu. The deaths relating to these 'new' flu strains are round about 7000 in total.

More scare mongering to boost vaccine profits. they'll go for the children first.

I don't understand this hysteria over flu these days. Having flu is horrible, but it always has been.

The excuse is because it changes every year, which is does, so how can you vaccinate against a virus that changes? Here is the other kicker, you can't vaccinate against a virus...wtf... the hospital people told us that, but then wanted our child to have all the other vaccines for a 2 year old.

That is so fucked up, can you image those parents who are paranoid about their children getting a dis-ease they'll just give them an extra dose just to be sure.

I thought there were lots of different strains of 'ordinary' flu anyway. So how can they effectively vaccinate for it to start with?

I totally ballsed that up you can vaccinate against a virus, there is no antibiotic that will cure a virus...sorry about that I wasn't thinking when I wrote that was in a rush,,, thats my excuse lol..

I was speaking to guy who had retired from a large Pharma company which made vaccines, his department was the one looking into new flu strains. I said to the fella how to you know what strains will be around for the coming 'flu' season, he said they take a sample from 3 different parts of the world and take it from there.

Only 3 different locations? Hmmmm, I think he sensed where I was going to go with my line of questioning and the conversation ended there.

Humans are a threat to Human Health....
