Canada‘s Public Health Agency increases monitoring of H7N9 cases: “We’re very interested and watching very carefully what is going on in China.”-John Spika
China now hit with 310 H7N9 (bird flu) cases, 67 deaths. Health officials from around the world continue to claim it is still not a true human to human virus, yet, out of 33400 poultry samples taken this 2013-14 flu season, only eight were positive for H7N9! I pointed out similar discrepancies during the 2012-13 H7N9 outbreak. A new study points out that in the few human to human cases the only contact with H7N9 was with infected 1st blood relatives. In fact two of the latest H7N9 cases involves a woman and her five years old son. Guangxi health officials suspect the boy got H7N9 from his mother. In fact all the latest H7N9 cases in China involve family members. In Hangzhou City a man his wife and daughter are all sick, and officials there suspect the man spread it to the others (the man died). In other words, despite what government officials say the virus is on its way to becoming fully human to human.
I’ve read several articles claiming a study (released last year) revealed that H7N9 seems to go after Asian people who have the IFITM3 (interferon-induced transmembrane protein-3) gene! Most Caucasians do not have the gene. However, when I read the actual study there is no mention of H7N9, it was talking about H1N1! Other researchers say the IFITM3 gene also makes you more susceptible to other flus like H7N9 and H5N1.
United States: The Obama regime is stockpiling H7N9 vaccines! Trials of H7N9 vaccine show that it takes several doses before it seems to work.
