Bird Flu, Influenza and 1918: The case for mutant Avian tuberculosis
- Lawrence Broxmeyer Correspondence to Dr.Lawrence Broxmeyer,MD,c/o Med-America Research,208-11 Estates Drive,Bayside,New York 11360,USA
[Abstract]Influenza is Italian for “influence”, Latin: influentia. It used to be thought that the disease was caused by a bad influence from the heavens. Influenza was called a virus long, long before it was proven to be one. In 2005, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, estimated that a recurrence of the 1918 influenza epidemic could kill between 180 million and 360 million people worldwide.
