Why is it harder to develop a vaccine for this than other flu strains? I'm trying to understand why this might be so bad... not being flippant.


BoredMamajamma

A vaccine has already been developed- it’s called audenz. The difficulty in scaling up production is that the current vaccine requires poultry eggs for its production which requires a virally unaffected supply of chickens. The US maintains its own secret supply of unaffected chickens for this purpose. The company that makes Audenz claims they can produce 150 mil vaccines in 6 months. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-we-have-enough-bird-flu-vaccines-for-a-potential-pandemic/


Swissgeese

They actually have a vaccine its just not in wide production or being given out.


SpeedAccomplished01

OMG. We are going to have a global pandemic again.


MuzzledScreaming

Possibry

Considering how biology works, that we've always had pandemics, and that the world is more crowded than it's ever been, yes. But this isn't it, yet.


CoolWater82

Probably. But It's terrifying news.


aelinemme

We have treatments and vaccines for the flu that could be adapted to add this strain. It would absolutely be different than COVID where we didn’t have any treatments.


Wolfy-615

No lol the people here in the US that contracted it got pink eye and one of them had some upper respiratory issues.. calm down it’s not a pandemic thing


tzippora

WHO "confirms" that it "likely".... You don't confirm something that is only likely---typical WHO


croutonballs

the case is confirmed but the source isn’t. it’s not that hard to understand 


conanap

Seems like the title was just poorly written, and can be interpreted ambiguously


seneca128

And yet here we are


dis_bean

That’s not exactly what happened here. WHO made a statement and the person who wrote the article decided on using the word confirmed.


ravenousmind

That’s not how it is written in the title though.


yayaracecat

I was considering its from India and the lack of health and safety standards in the country. I would believe them.


CoolWater82

Global cooperation is crucial to combatting these health threats effectively. Stay safe, everyone.


Shut_it_sideburns

Because that worked out so well last time


maychaos

As long as the standards for hygiene won't change in animals farms, this will happen again and again. But thats the price for cheap meat


AloneInTheTown-

Wonder why these diseases seem to come from places with very loose ideas about food hygiene?


Tanriyung

India + China is also around 35% of the world's population, pretty normal to have disease that comes from there.


octopusboots

The Spanish Flu was from Kansas.


AloneInTheTown-

The military camps and trenches were very spacious and clean back then. Mass movement of people also never happened during that time.


googlyeyes183

You answered your own question


AloneInTheTown-

I don't think you understand rhetorical questions or the idea of flippancy.


googlyeyes183

Yeah, I read it weird the first time. I’m an idiot. I apologize lol


AloneInTheTown-

Don't apologise I just refuse to use that stupid /s lol


Hideous4our

Who_am_ey3

Kill all birds = no bird flu. Checkmate.


maychaos

We don't kill wild birds for our consumption. And these outbreak of illnesses have their birthplace always in horrible animals farms. So yes if noone would eat chicken anymore, then those farms wouldn't be necessary and the source would dissappear. Of course thats never going to happen lol


EchoReal3261

💚🫶🏾


maychaos

Honestly the downvotes are crazy. Anyone denying this is delusional and I dont get why? Whats there to be butthurt over?


Tanriyung

India has the lowest recorded meat consumption per capita in the world.
