Bird Flu Not Forgotten By GlaxoKline [Oh, I am sure it's not.] 19 May 2008 The media pandemic may have died down, but GlaxoKline is betting that the threat of an actual bird flu pandemic is still real enough for governments across Europe. The pharmaceutical company said on Monday it had secured European approval for the first pre-pandemic vaccine against the dreaded H5N1 virus, more commonly known as bird flu, which began to gain notoriety five years ago. A spokesperson for GlaxoKline said that

the company believed an eventual pandemic would involve a strain in the H5N1 family, and that a pre-pandemic treatment would save the four-to-six-month delay of having to react to an official pandemic announcement. "The U.K. government could buy it tomorrow and vaccinate us tomorrow," she said. Those who'd like to be added to the list can go here: http://www.legitgov.org/#subscribe_clg and add your name.
