Reports from the Kremlin today show that Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has issued a ‘strong protest’ to the United States over their plan to begin a massive spraying of their population to protect them from the bird flu virus H5N1.
This planned mass aerial spraying of the American population comes after the breakthrough research in this new technology by the United States Pentagon supported Akzo Nobel Dutch chemical giant, and as we can read as reported by Reuters News Service in their article titled "Akzo Nobel to test mass bird flu vaccine", and which says:
"Dutch chemical group Akzo Nobel said on Monday it has developed a bird flu vaccine prototype that can be applied to large avian populations by spraying instead of injections. The new vaccine, developed by Akzo's animal health unit Intervet, works against avian influenza and Newcastle Disease and is scheduled to undergo field trials next year, Akzo Nobel said in a statement.
A vaccine that replaces the tedious and costly process of injecting birds individually could be available in the "near future", Akzo Nobel said."The prototype combines the efficacy of the present vaccines with a mass application tool and could prove invaluable in helping to quickly protect large numbers of birds, which currently have to be injected individually," Toon Wilderbeek, Akzo's executive in charge of pharmaceuticals, said in a statement.

If they are going to spray from the air... I guess what ever the spray hits will be sprayed... humans included.
