H7N9 is Rapidly Mutating: Pandemic Potential Increased Due to ‘Viral Fitness’

H7N9 is Rapidly Mutating: Pandemic Potential Increased Due to ‘Viral Fitness’

 The Daily Sheeple | December 11, 2013

It’s common knowledge that influenza viruses mutate. They change and adapt quickly. One of these mutations, the one that enables them to become drug resistant, comes at a high price to the virus. It weakens it.

Almost universally, flu viruses become less virulent when they become drug resistant. In becoming drug resistant, their ability to replicate and its infectiveness is usually considerably reduced.

This is not the case with H7N9. Patients suffering with H7N9 have been treated with Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and the virus has shown it is resistant in several patients. Normally this would improve the prognosis for the patient, but it hasn’t. Patients have still suffered a long duration of illness and poor clinical outcomes generally, with some patients still dying from the disease.

Nicole Bouvier M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine, Infectious Diseases at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai said:

“In this outbreak, we saw some differences in the behavior of H7N9 and other avian influenza strains that can infect humans, beginning with the rapid development of antiviral resistance in some people who were treated with oseltamivir and the persistence of high viral loads in those patients,”

“But surprisingly, transmission of the drug-resistant virus was no less efficient than that of the drug-sensitive version. Many of the people infected with H7N9 during the outbreak in China were elderly or had other conditions that predisposed them to severe influenza illness,” observed Dr. Bouvier. “Nevertheless, our study suggests that flu viruses can indeed develop drug-res

Some genetic engineers must be feeling so proud of their achievement.

Sadly - there was a "massive hit-list" where over a hundred of the world's "top" microbiologists were "murdered".  See articles on dead microbiologists.  Dead men tell no tales.  The Illuminati ordered these "weaponized viruses (aka biowarfare) be created and made sure when the microbiologists work was done - that they were eliminated - murdered - so they could not warn the rest of the world of the impending "killer viruses".

Yes, I was aware of the killed microbiologists. This one more plot to swipe out most of humanity in the near future.
