====================

Thank you.

"However, the flu virus was altered in the new studies to be passed
easily between ferrets."


This confirms what we know about
how it's done on Plum Island:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/browse_thread/thread/a3e234c35d36c2ff?hl=en#

There is more on ActionLyme about how
the Chinese also seem to agree with the
Don Wiley observation about H9N5 as the
potential pandemic strain of swine flu.

Who knows, it may in the end be a
Lyme/Mycoplasma/Duck/Swine flu:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18798030


But you can use this insight about how the NIH
operates (cover-up/distort the data) to make
an assumption about why they continue to lie
about Lyme, and not prosecute the CDC/Yale Lyme
crime gang for falsifying the diagnostic standard
in order to falsify the LYMErix vaccine outcome...

LYMErix and this swine-bird-ferret H5N1 flu
open cover-up send an excellent message to
everyone who hates what Americans do:

*NOW* it is confirmed that they lie in
the so-called scientific journals, so that
when one reads a scientific journal, one
better make sure no American is an author
of it, and that the research wasn't sponsored
by the NIH or CDC.

The authors of two controversial bird flu studies have reportedly
agreed to a US request to redact key details after a government
advisory panel suggested the data could be used by terrorists.

The papers show how a bird flu variant can pass easily between
ferrets.

Editors at the journals Science and Nature say they will not agree to
the redactions until they are assured the data will be accessible to
researchers.

A spokesman for US health authorities said such a system was being
prepared.

At least one set of scientists have already rewritten their paper in
light of the recommendation, Science reports.

Albert Osterhaus told Science his team "completely disagreed" with the
recommendation of the panel, the the National Science Advisory Board
for Biosecurity (NSABB).

But Mr Osterhaus, who believes the information should be made widely
available, said an editorial explaining his team's "genuflection" to
the panel is a condition of the paper's publication in Science.

A second research team at the University of Wisconsin, Madison is also
reluctantly submitting a revised paper to Nature, a university
spokesman confirmed to Science.
'Bona fide need'

While bird flu is deadly, its reach has been limited because it is not
transmissible between humans.

However, the flu virus was altered in the new studies to be passed
easily between ferrets.

When should science be censored?

Those mutations mean the flu would have "greater potential" to be
contagious among humans, the NSABB said in a statement on Tuesday.

The lab-created version, the board warned, represented an "extremely
serious global public health threat".

The NSABB recommended that the "general conclusions" be published but
that final manuscripts not include details that "could enable
replication of the experiments by those who would seek to do harm".

Editors at Nature and Science said they wanted a clearer plan from the
US government about how the potentially redacted data could be used by
"all those responsible scientists who request it".

"Many scientists within the influenza community have a bona fide need
to know the details of this research in order to protect the public,
especially if they currently are working with related strains of the
virus," Science editor-in-chief Bruce Alberts said.

Mr Alberts said the magazine's response would be "heavily dependent
upon the further steps taken by the US government to set forth a
written, transparent plan" to ensure the information can be used by
scientists who request it.

"It is essential for public health that the full details of any
scientific analysis of flu viruses be available to researchers," Dr
Philip Campbell, editor of Nature said in a statement.
'Critical question'

The recommendation is unprecedented for the board, which was created
in the wake of the 2001 anthrax attacks.

normally transmitted through bird to human contact

Speaking to the BBC, Anthony Fauci of the US National Institutes of
Health (NIH) said a system to allow those with proper credentials to
access the full research was now being put together.

It was expected to be ready in time for the publication dates during
January, he said, but it was prudent to restrict key information to
those directly involved in public health programmes.

"The critical question is whether there is a compelling public health
reason to gain access to the knowledge," Mr Fauci said.

The Department of Health and Human Services said it agreed with the
recommendation.

The research was partly funded by the NIH, the parent body of the
NSABB, as part of "pandemic preparedness", Mr Fauci confirmed, adding
that it was entirely proper that the NIH fund such research.

But he conceded that there was little the NSABB could do to stop the
publication of the full papers if the editors of Science and of Nature
decided to take that path.

"The journals want to publish but understand the concerns of the
NSABB," Mr Fauci said.

NSABB is made up of scientists and public health experts, 23 from
outside the government, and 18 from within. It cannot stop publication
but makes recommendations to researchers.
