Timetable Of Major
Flu Outbreaks

From Patricia Doyle, PhD
11-8-5
 
I happened to find this by happenstance. Below, the last entry, describes Dr. Don C.Wiley and Dr. Skehel's work regarding determination of the location of the antigenic sites on the hemagglutinin molecule by X-ray crystallography.
 
Thus far, I haven't heard of any more researchers dying. Given the fact that many, if not most, of the researchers were preeminent flu and viral researchers, I am quite concerned that the bird flu might be the missing link or reason for their deaths.
 
The deaths appeared to stop just as the bird flu virus widened in scope and began to be found in cluster cases. Also, coinciding with the development of Spanish flu reconstructed in the lab.
 
Did these scientists find out someone was going to create a chimera of H1N1 Spanish flu and H5N1 bird flu? or? Would they be the scientists who knew how to prevent a pandemic? Dr. Wiley had researched the infectivity of viruses and bacteria just prior to his death. He found out how viruses and bacteria are able to infect.
 
I find it extremely odd, after several years of brilliant scientists dying - some following each other on monthly basis - that the deaths would come to a complete stop....at the same time the WHO and CDC and even the World Bank warn of a pandemic.

Here are some key moments in influenza history -
 
412 BC - Major epidemic of influenza recorded by Hippocrates
 
1781- Major epidemic causing high mortality among the elderly that spread across Russia from Asia
 
1830 - Major epidemic causing high mortality among the elderly that spread across Russia from Asia
 
1889-1890 - Major epidemic
 
1900 - Major epidemic
 
1918-1919 - Pandemic which killed 20-40 million people around the world; also known as the "Spanish influenza"
 
Late 1920s - Richard Shope showed that swine influenza could be transmitted through filtered mucous, implying that influenza is caused by a virus
 
1933 - Sir Christopher Andrewes, Wilson Smith, and Sir Patrick Laidlaw isolated the first human influenza virus
 
1940 - Frank Macfarlane Burnet grows influenza on a laboratory growth system (embryonated chicken eggs)
 
1941 - George K. Hirst discovered that influenza caused hemagglutination of red blood cells, thus providing a new method of assaying for the virus
 
1955 - Sir Christopher Andrewes, along with Burnet and Bang, coins the term "myxovirus" for the influenza family
 
1957 - Major antigenic shift causes the Asian influenza epidemic
 
1968 - Major antigenic shift causes the Hong Kong influenza epidemic
 
1976 - Swine Flu scare
 
1977 - Mild Russian influenza epidemic
 
1988 - Wiley, Wilson, and Skehel determine the location of the antigenic sites on the hemagglutinin molecule by X-ray crystallography
