The bird flu virus that rampaged across much of Asia this year is likely to be the cause of the next human flu pandemic, which could hit up to 30 percent of the world's people, a top international expert said on Thursday.
.
The expert, Dr. Klaus Stohr, who coordinates the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Program, stated that there was no question about whether another influenza pandemic would sweep through the world's more than six billion people, only a question of when.
.
"There are estimates that would put the number of deaths in the range between two and seven million, and the number of people affected will go beyond the billions as 25 to 30 percent will fall ill," Stohr said. Referring to the avian flu virus A(H5N1), which has forced Asian governments to kill tens of millions of fowl in a vain attempt to wipe it out, he said, "This virus

So far the bird type flu strains have only resulted in limited outbreaks, which, although worrying, have not reached the pandemic levels seen in 1918, 1957 & 1968.
Spanish flu (1918/19) is reported to have killed at least 40 million people. This was before flu vaccines.
For the past several years we have annually been promised that this year will be the "big one". Possibly it is more likely now due to the problems with the flu vaccine.
We may now have the technology to diagnose (within 30mins) and treat the virus, but will it be available where & when its needed?
I, for one, certainly do not look forward to the next pandemic!

Infinite. Youre' the FSME on NWO. I'm surprised you don't react to these threads by illustrating the connections between man-made viruses, virus-scare propoganda, "vaccinations", and the NWO agenda. Wrong forum I guess, eh?

IMHO - the 'terror brouhaha' was developed to cover up all the epidemics, and divert needed funds before they could be tapped for public health.
...Niman's right - this flu epidemic was predicted long ago and it will come. The only question is when.
...The first perfectly usable H5N1 bird flu vaccine was developed by 1999 - and reverse engineering technology can get billions of doses out the door and on the streets inside of weeks. I knew about this long ago, and thought manufacturing was ready to roll. Wrong.
Turns out that manufacturers aren't willing to share their profits with the guys who developed reverse engineering and hold the Intellectual Property rights for it. ...So Big Pharma won't use the technology. Which means it will take 6 months or more to manufacture at capacity using old technology - and provide the world with about 10% of the vaccines needed.
