I saw Sanjay talking about the Swine Flu last night on CNN, and he was saying they don’t yet know what it is, but it seems to be a mixture of Avian Flu, Human Flu, and a couple of prev. strains of Swine Flu…

Anyway, brings to mind this excerpt from one of Dr. Thorpe’s Anti-Px patent apps. (I know, it’s just a patent...)

Patent app #20040161429 (filed 8-15-03, pub. USPO 8-19-04)
“Compositions for treating Viral Infections using Immunoconjugates to Aminophospholipids”

[0919] “The therapeutics provided by the invention are valuable agents having broad-spectrum anti-viral activity. In addition to being effective against a large number of potentially lethal viruses, the agents can also be administered after exposure to the virus, even in settings where the exact nature of the virus is not known. Thus, the anti-viral therapeutics of the present invention do not require a prolonged period of time between identification of the pathogen and delivery of the therapy, in marked contrast with the time and expense entailed by the development, production or delivery of specific vaccines.”
