#3 The EU's H7N1 vaccine is the first to be developed using a technique called ``reverse genetics'' that is simpler, safer and more precise than the traditional production method of injecting the virus into eggs, according to the EU. The bloc contributed 2.1 million euros ($2.6 million) to the project.

Clinical trials on the vaccine are expected to begin next spring

No eggs is good -- it can be made much more quickly, and won't trigger an allergic reaction in those sensitive to feathers or egg proteins. I hope the clinicals go well, as it looks like the H5N1 strain won't have mutated to a pandemic version until at least next year. (Although I still will keep my pantry stocked throughout this flu season, just in case.)

#5 A full pantry is good always TW. But like it has been noted at RantBurg before:

1. Don't pick your noose
2. If you must pick your nose use a towelette
3. Don't pick anyone else's nose.
4. If you must pick a strangers nose, use a Craftsmans tool.
5. Air is a killer, slow down your breathing.
6. Lack of Oxygen is a killer, steal the green tanks.
7. Avoid crowds.
B. Avoid clods.
iX. Weird kill the flu
J. Gargel loudly.

#6 Shipman, I promise most solemnly I will never pick my noose, not even with off-brand power tools.

#8 Shipman, somewhere your numbering system seemed to get creative. However, I'm four square with all of the items despite the non-standard, working outside the box, creative outlining. I have a Dremel drill for nose-picking.

#9 Great now they have a vaccine our US UK and Aussie govts can spend millions dishing it out to poor starving Indonesians (who have more millionaires than Australia on Java but who don't share it around) , Earthquake hit Islamists in Pakistan (who try to blow us up on a good day), Africans, Tsunami-ravaged Asians and the rest of the world's losers.

But of course they won't provide any for our population. Just enough for 'essential' workers like... oh, police, politicians, health-care workers. You know, the essential ones...

But our taxes have to pay for it all.
