It is believed that an experimental vaccine might be effective against a strain of flu virus. This should men that the experts can not fear any more for a flu pandemic. it seems that the developed vaccine is effective and as specialists say it will work as a powerful weapon against the easily spread virus.
Tests proved that two doses of the vaccine produced an immune system response that was able to neutralize the virus. The test was done on 113 subjects that have all developed the same reaction.
Another study that was done over 452 adults, all tested with four dosages of this experimental vaccine leaded to promising results. Even if the tests have positive results many specialists agree that further testing has to be done.
Many doctors believe that the development of the new vaccine is a positive result. They are happy to hear about the first vaccine that proved to be effective in bird flu.
While doctors seem to be satisfied with their results, public health authorities are concerned about the virus called H5N1 which is spreading among the birds from Asia, Russia and even Europe. The number of infected humans also alerts the authorities. It is known that the bird flu virus called H5N1 was infecting in the last period more than 100 humans. The mortality rate for the persons that develop this infection is higher than 50 %. If the virus will mutate and if it will develop the possibility of spreading easily among people, the risk for a global pandemic is higher. This risk frightens the specialists especially because they remember about the flu pandemic in 1918, when more than 40 million people have died. That pandemic caused much more human loss than the First World War.
In order to prevent the spreading of the disease millions of birds throughout Asia have been slaughtered.
Further testing will be necessary in order to determine exactly how the vaccine could be used and how can the production cover the needs in case of a pandemic.
Many specialists agreed that the development of this vaccine is a step forward. They also proved that two dosages of the vaccine will be able to help, developing an immune system that can work against the bird flu virus.
Even if a vaccine is developed, specialists agree that the world is not ready for a flu pandemic.
A Bird Flu vaccine is months and months away from production, and production will be a problem since health officials believe it will take at least 1 year to make enough for all citizens. Even then, it may not be effective, since it was based on an earlier seed of the virus. Bird Flu, or H5N1, mutates rapidly. Today, Bird Flu is something entirely different than when it was first discovered.
But there is one, off-the-shelf, device that will protect you and your family against Bird Flu, SARS, and ordinary flu, right now. It's called Animas?, manufactured by a company that originally was tasked to make a better biomass for our military troops.
Why is a filter mask the best tool you can have against Bird Flu? Because of its new nana-technology. A Animas? isn't just an ordinary N95 mask like you see in hospitals or on construction sites.
N95 masks are not effective against any particulate, virus, or bacteria smaller than .3 microns, and thus a waste of money if you buy an N95 mask for the purpose of blocking H5N1 or any influenza virus. Even hospitals realize this and are now ordering Nan Masks?.
Examine the table below showing virus sizes, so you can judge for yourself how effective the Animas is. The abbreviation nm means nanometer, which is one billionth of a meter. N95 can only filter out material greater in size than .3 microns, which equal to 300 nanometers.
Every virus you see in the table below is smaller than 300 nanometers, therefore, N95's are useless against these viruses.
According to Nelson Laboratories of Salt Lake City, an independent testing lab of such filters, Bacteriophage MS-2 is the recognized standard testing organism for many filters. Being one of the smallest used viruses at 20nm, it is able to give a higher challenge to the filter media.
Animas? has been tested down to 27 nanometers or .027 microns. Good enough to stop H5N1, SARS, and other viruses listed in the Virus Size Table above, as well as ordinary influenza.
The unique design and enhanced facial seal allows the Animas? to overcome the most critical failing of typical N95 masks: an inability to effectively seal against the face and filter inhaled and exhaled breath that will typically follow the path of least resistance - around the sides of the mask.
The president of Emergency Filtration, Doug Bedplate, told this author that the primary reason Nan Masks are so successful in stopping viruses is their unique Nan particle coating on each filter. Bedplate said, "The Nan particle coating joins with chlorine particles to achieve an arrest and eradication of undesirable agents." In other words, biohazard us particulates like H5N1 are not only blocked, but destroyed, thanks to the Nan particle coating.
A traditional filter without the Nan particle coating, like N95, would turn into a breeding ground for a virus or bacterial agent. Thus we caution you against using any N95 mask in a pandemic or epidemic, or even to stop ordinary colds.
We cannot stress enough the importance of ordering Animas? right now, before H5N1 or any other pandemic strikes. It's saving lives in Asia right now. More than 2 million Asians are wearing Nan Masks?.
Of all the methods available to protect your family, such as antiviral, vaccines, herbs, etc., Animas? is the least costly in terms of time and money, and probably the most effective. Don't get caught off guard by a U.S. transportation strike or postal strike, or a thin supply. And don't count on a vaccine, or Tami flu. Count on NanoMask?, its available right now.
