It is information recounted this morning by the British newspaper, The Independent . Yoshihiro Kawaoka Japanese researcher in virology at the University of Wisconsin, USA , has to reconstitute a mutant version of the H1N1 virus, also called swine flu, which had caused 200 000 deaths in 2009 and nearly 500,000 in total . Derived from the bird and pig virus kills almost today because our immune system is able to defend itself against him. The mutant version of the H1N1, created by the scientist, would in turn be able to escape the antibodies normally used to neutralize the virus and thus resist the existing vaccine.
A crazy and dangerous experiment? "He used a flu virus that is known to be transmissible to humans, and handled in a way that would leave the world population defenseless if he escaped from the laboratory ", warns a scientist.
