In this University of Michigan program, Peter Palese, professor of microbiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, takes a historical examination into the influenza. Science has made it possible to reconstruct the virus that caused the great influenza pandemic of 1918-1919. The virus, which killed 50 million people worldwide, can be used to test current vaccines and gain insight into disease formation and transmission.

  • The virus keep changing. We must act fast to prevent all the risk .

  • FYI: The previous 2 comments (made 2 yrs earlier than this one) are made by conspiracy believers, who are likely also 9/11 Deniers. They always claim to have some "special knowledge."

  • Research this: Simon Flexner and Rockefeller Inst. experimental pneumonia and meningitis vaccines used on the military just before and during the outbreak of the virus. Research Gates' little project at Fort Funston. The pandemic was caused by bacterial co-infections. The descriptions regarding the virulence of the reconstructed 1918 virus doesn't add up. It won't create a pandemic unless it is combined with a copathogen. Will that be H5N1 perhaps? Not everyone is being fooled right now.

  • when Alan Greenspan,Dick Cheney,Ben Bernake, Donald Rumsfeild, Jenna Bush (Ithink you get the picture)when any of these folks get the "PANDEMIC FLU"Then and only then will I honestly believe that a real honest indescriminate flu has broke out. Till then I will believe that this is a selective eugenics pandemic.

  • Very good video
