Video on Pandemic Flu



Dr. Albert Osterhaus gives his thoughts, in a video, on pandemic viruses and the possibility that bird flu will combine with swine flu to create a superbug pandemic flu.

Dr. Osterhaus has done extensive research on antiviral flu medicines and flu vaccines. He emphasizes that we CAN prepare for a flu pandemic, and that proper preparation, along with social distancing, antiviral medications, and vaccines—can help to lessen the effects of a pandemic. But, we must act now, before it is too late.



Dr. Osterhaus, head of the department of virology, Erasmus MC at the University of Rotterdam, is one of the world’s leading virologists and his group was the first to identify human infection with the avian influenza strain H5N1.

Dr. Osterhaus was also the first scientist to show that H5N1 (bird flu) can be transferred from birds into humans. He is one of our foremost authorities on flu pandemics.
