The second phase of human trials for a universal flu vaccine has begun in the U.S., the National Institutes of Health announced Friday, as scientists continue to search for an all-encompassing solution to protecting against the unpredictable and constantly mutating virus.

The clinical trial, which will take place at four sites around the U.S., will enroll 120 healthy volunteers to either be injected with the experimental vaccine, called M-001, or a placebo.

Six previous clinical trials with a total of 698 participants in Israel and Europe established that M-001 was safe, well-tolerated and produced an immune response to a broad range of influenza strains, according to a statement by the NIH.

I wonder what the excuse will be when the flu breaks out again anyway?

Drug companies can use unknown concoctions upon the public, but if the public wants to grow and use a well known ancient one of their own?

Medical fascism!

Vaccine manufacturers are immune from injury lawsuits.

Instead, the US gov’t established a Vaccine Injury Center to review claims and pay out to victims.

Since 1988 the US gov’t has paid $3.8 Billion to injured victims and their surviving families.

Since 1988, over 19,361 petitions have been filed with the VICP. Over that 29-year time period, 17,168 petitions have been adjudicated, with 5,999 of those determined to be compensable, while 11,169 were dismissed. Total compensation paid over the life of the program is approximately $3.8 billion.
