Viruses, Schmiruses.

After reading about viruses in our Reading Classes, I decided to research a new virus that may cause the United States some trouble. Avian Flu (H5N1) is a deadly virus that may mutate to the point that our vaccinations may not be able to help. There is a large debate raging on whether or not it will have a catastrophic impact on Americans. I don’t think that there is much to worry about. Could a bird virus be that harmful to humans? What do you think? I believe scientist just want us to pay more money for vaccinations that we don’t need.

Here are a couple of websites where you can read more:
