CHICAGO (Reuters) – A study of antibodies from people infected with H1N1 swine flu adds proof that scientists are closing in on a "universal" flu shot that could neutralize many types of flu strains, including H1N1 swine flu and H5N1 bird flu, U.S. researchers said on Monday.

They said people who were infected in the H1N1 pandemic developed an unusual immune response, making antibodies that could protect them from all the seasonal H1N1 flu strains from the last decade, the deadly "Spanish flu" strain from 1918 and even a strain of the H5N1 avian flu.

"It says that a universal influenza vaccine is really possible," said Patrick Wilson of the University of Chicago, who worked on the paper published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

Many teams are working on a "universal" flu shot that could protect people from all flu strains for decades or even life.

U.S. officials say an effective universal flu vaccine would have enormous ramifications for the control of influenza, which kills anywhere from 3,300 to 49,000 people in the United States each year.

H1N1 pandemic? They are still pushing this lie.

H1N1 pandemic? They are still pushing this lie.

H1N1 is active and across much of the world so it is indeed pandemic.

Unfortunately, a side effect is that they will become flesh-eating zombies.

Some microbe is sitting back somewhere laughing at our superior intellect.

I have had the flu a number of times (until I started taking the flu shot) but the worst was in 1957. I was 17 and I was so sick I was delirious, high fever, headache, body aches, chest congestion, racking cough,you name it I had it. I was as weak as an infant when I finally got out of bed. Did the ‘57 flu have a name?

I don't if it had a name, but many people who die from flu outbreaks are young people with very strong immune systems. They die from the strong response.

Hmmmm. I survived H1N1 last winter. Wonder if my blood is worth some bucks now?

[Yaelle]

I wish I could believe this since H1N1 nearly killed me in Dec 09. Sadly my child had H1N1 twice and so did another child I know. I fear this info is Bull.

[SIDENET]

Both.

Swine flu is a mild flu at that.

Best thing to do is go ahead and get it and acquire the universal immunity.

You're awfully sure of yourself. Is there anything to qualify your dispensing such medical advice?
