Reply #11: No malice. Just curiosity. [View All]

Allow me to withdraw the fourth question since you already answered it, at least in part.

1) Why does the "current iteration" of avian flu vaccine requires 90 mcg of inactivated avian influenza? What clinical trials have been run to suggest that this is a) necessary and b) effective?

I don't understand what led you read any malicious intent into these innocent and perfectly reasonable questions, but let me assure you that I'm open minded to any scientific knowledge that you have on this subject.

2) What makes you think that the sequence of random mutations that would be necessary to "establish" a human to human variant of avian flu is inevitably impending?

I've altered this question so as to remove any possible impression of maliciousness.

3) What leads you to believe that Tamiflu is effective in any way when it comes to humans who have somehow contracted an avian H5N1 viral infection?

I don't understand what led you read any malicious intent into this question either, but let me again assure you that I'd sincerely appreciate any insights you'd be inclined to share.
