There are millions of dead birds and over a hundred dead people who might wish that were the case, if they could.

Whatever they mixed up, it isn't what is killing things out there.

As to whether H5N1 will become the next pandemic human flu, I can't say, but I would not decide offhand that something could not exist because scientists have been unable to create it.

Afaik, they have not made a mosquito, either--and those little bloodsuckers are a real nuisance here.

Hence my statement "The pandemic that never was".
