An influenza specialist who previously led the World Health Organization's (WHO's) flu program and now works for Novartis, has recommended that developing a prepandemic vaccination to get a grip on the next flu endemic, a thought that other experts are welcoming with concern or cynicism.
Dr. Klaus Stohr, ex-Director of the WHO's Global Influenza Programme, suggests developing a vaccine including a "cocktail" of flu strains considered apt to cause the next epidemic, together with an adjuvant (immune-system stimulant). He proposes the plan in an opinion article released yesterday online by Nature.
The proposal of prepandemic vaccine has been around for years, stimulated by some researches implying that adjuvants can make flu vaccines defensive against more than just the particular viral damage they are based on.
But since of a lot of doubts like an approach, together with security questions and the volatile timing of epidemics, it has never got much footing.
Stohr says that prepandemic vaccination would help deal with the problem when an epidemic virus surfaces. It takes around 6 months to develop and generate a well-suited vaccination for it, as was exhibited last year with the epidemic H1N1 virus.
He says that this idea can also help lessen the massive scarcity of production capacity to meet worldwide requirements.
5 Vaccines You Should Never Get

Sounds good, until you realize that millions of us are lining up every year to avoid illnesses we have almost no chance of catching… or diseases that are often very easy to prevent and treat.
Vaccinations have become a billion-dollar money game, plain and simple. Drug companies have used scare tactics to convince people to be injected with junk concoctions that, in some cases, are causing far more health problems than they are preventing.
In fact, I've uncovered five vaccinations that I believe no American should ever get. Forget their failure to prevent disease - these vaccinations are downright dangerous. For example, my list includes vaccinations that:
- Have been linked to the deaths of several women in the past year
- Appear to have caused spontaneous abortions
- Doubled seizure risks in children
- Are mass-marketed to America's seniors, despite being potentially worthless
- And much, much more…
Don't get another vaccination until you've read my FREE report, 5 Vaccinations You Should Never Get.
And who am I to be taking on useless vaccinations? I'm William Campbell Douglass II, M.D. and I've been called "the conscience of modern medicine."
