H5N1: Team Of Scientists 'Turn Off' Host Genes. , page 1

As i mentioned a my previous thread, scientists have now identified 100 genes that host the Virus. Scientists have now taken this one step further and 'turned off' 3 of the genes that H5N1 needs to infect, once these genes were turned off they resisted infection. Could this be one giant step towards a vaccine, pill, cure and prevention ?

Could it be a pretext for government to meddle with the genes of it's populace? I think Birdflu is some sort of conspiracy.

Yer, a lot of people are almost convinced that bird flu has been grown in a lab much like how some people think that AIDS was created at Fort Detrick. I think that this is a possible way for the government to start playing with our genes as we all know they want too so much. Personally i think that H5N1 is a real disease and is going to kill a lot of innocent people unless something is done about it fast. I don't like the thought of the government having this kind of power of my work, social life and now my genes; but until some one can prove beyond a doubt that either there is another way or that it is a fake. Then people are going to cue up for the cure.
