Indian Scientists Develop Vaccine for Bird Flu
William Robinson writes "Indian Scientists have succeeded in developing a vaccine against the bird flu disease that has affected poultry business in many parts of the world. This was formally announced, and ICAR Director-General Mangala Rai described this as a big step forward in tackling the highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called the bird flu. Indonesia, who has recently reported their 42nd victim of bird flu, will now have one less thing to worry about."
Until you can 100% prove that some country, other then Israel (which is not confirmed but many experts assume they do), can launch an intercontinental ballistic nuclear strike there is no reason to be an alarmist. None of the countries, not even Israel, in the Middle east can start WWIII without the use of nuclear bombs. Thankfully, very few countries have thsi capability. On a conventional warfare (non-nuclear) it requires sizeable infrastructure in a military - and very few militaries have this infrastructure.
BTW, I am not counting India/Pakistan in middle east group.
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.
That should be "one fewer thing to worry about", unless "things" have ceased being discrete overnight.
They sure came up with a vaccine of the bird flu fast. I am still waiting for the vaccine for herpes....cause this itching is starting to get annoying. Damn herpes! Its been out longer and still nothing for it. What a buncha cr@p. The drug companies make too much money on suppresive medication, thankfully a country outside of the USA developed a vaccine. In the USA they would find a way for you to buy a pill or few pills at 30 dollars a pop, so they will make a profit.
This is one of the many successes the Indians and Chineese will have showing up the West (US/Europe) in science and technology. I think over the next 10-20 years, it will become more frequent that we see breakthroughs from these areas.
Many people still drive older vehicles. Lots of them get crap mileage. Try driving a 440 six-pack charger, or an olds with a 505 sometime...
