Subject: RE: BS: a word to the wise
As you know, the flu virus vaccines that many of us have been injected with have been grown in an egg medium in the lab.
Maybe its a leap but does anyone else see a correlation between growing flu virus in an egg medium and the sudden appearance of the avian flu virus? Is this a mutation or could a virus leap from bird to human via the very method we are using to protect us from the common, everyday flu?
I know I am being vague but there is something rattling around in my brain that tells me these flu shots we are offerred every year, may not do us any good in the long run. Are there any doctors or scientists out there that can sort this out for me?
