  The SARS virus infected only 8,000, and killed just 774 (remember the annual seasonal flu kills 30,000 in America every year)

• For the final element to fall into place, it will require little more than the shuffling of a few genes between the animal and human forms of a virus (.a phenomenon known as an antigenic shift.)
  The resulting mix will be totally unfamiliar to the human immune system which normally fights infections .meaning that human beings will have no natural immunity to it

• The Hong Kong outbreak signaled that the H5N1 strain had satisfied 2 of 3 prerequisites for a pandemic:
  1st: the H5N1 strain was a novel type of virus, to which no human being has any pre-existing immunity.
  2nd: The virus could reproduce in humans and cause serious illness.

• In a time of pandemic, that's an unacceptable wait.
  We have a dangerously inadequate vaccine manufacturing base in this country. Bottom-line: there's so little profit and so much uncertainly in vaccine manufacturing today.

• We need to bring them together to form a "Manhattan Project for the 21st Century" which can help us better defend against naturally occurring, accidental, and intentional threats. including infectious diseases.
  One example is targeted research for a cell-based flu vaccine. By investing in cell-based manufacturing technology, rather than relying on antiquated egg-based technology, the window for bug to drug can be cut from a year to less than six months
