And luckily I have all that stuff in my medicine cabinet!
There is no practical way of doing so. Let me explain why.
The chief epidemiologist of Vietnam discovered a herd of pigs, each of which had no fewer than five different H5N1 strains, in competition with each other to become the dominant strain. Then, when a dominant strain would emerge in one pig, it competed with the dominant strains devised by each other pig, to become the dominant strain of the entire herd. This happened because influenza has a very high number of what are called “flexible”, or easy to mutate genes in its RNA.
This is happening around the world right now not just in herd animals, but in wild bird flocks. As such, it acts like a natural selection supercomputer trying to devise the best possible strain of that type of influenza.
Once each strain varies far enough from other strains, it becomes alien enough to immune system recognition that the current vaccine used no longer works for the new variant.
If it is still “second cousins” to the vaccinated strain, the immune system might develop partial immunity for most cases. While you still get sick, the immune system doesn’t overreact and hurt you.
But right now, there are hundreds of thousands, or likely millions of different varieties of H5N1 in the world, most of which are only distant relatives to each other. And the human and most animal immune systems have zero familiarity with, or resistance to, this virus.
Only after the “winning” virus jumps to humans can we make a vaccine close enough to it to even give partial, much less full immunity. When that jump happens, our scientists will put a sample on the fastest aircraft in the area to take it to the CDC in Atlanta, to be grown and distributed to the drug companies, with around the clock haste and an unlimited budget.
Up until now, once we had the actual virus, it would have taken the US six months to make just 30 million vaccinations. That would not help in an H5N1 Avian flu plague, so the government has ordered those drug manufacturers who possibly can, to go into massive, full scale production and distribution as soon as they receive the actual virus.
And this is what is being tested with H1N1 right now. To say that the government and medical community are quietly terrified would be an understatement. This truly is the dress rehearsal for the worst plague in human history.
