Japan Creates Frankenstein Bird Flu Virus With New Immunological Traits - Nemos News Network
Via JonFleetwood.com, According to a new study published last week in NPJ Vaccines, Japanese researchers engineered an entirely new strain of bird flu, combining the genetic material of two separate wild viruses to create what they call Vac-3: a pathogen that is “a reassortant virus between A/duck/Hokkaido/101/2004 (H5N3) and A/duck/Hokkaido/262/2004 (H6N1).” This lab-built virus—A/duck/Hokkaido/Vac-3/2007 (H5N1)—was never observed in nature. It…
