Chief State Sanitary Inspector Gennady Onischenko expects a negative development of the bird flu situation in April-May. "In April-May we expect birds to fly into the Siberian and Urals areas. So we expect some negative changes in the situation," said Onischenko in State Duma corridors.
Speaking about the vaccine developed by the Novosibirsk Institute "Vector," Onischenko could not name the exact time when testing on volunteers would be completed. He says "a number of issues remain." "This is a vaccine of desperation," Onischenko said reminding that an efficient vaccine can be developed only when the bird flu epidemic begins.

Gennady Onischenko stated: information on bird flu should be thoroughly… concealed from the population. The Chief State Sanitary Inspector believes bird flu outbreaks do most likely take place in the USA but these facts are concealed… Because information on the infectious disease undermines the investment appeal of the country or the subject. It is appropriate to speak about the true state of things only amongst "close people," Onischenko said, meaning those present at the meeting. People should be given "thoroughly considered and non-alarming information such as ways to protect themselves from bird flu. It is quite possible that information will start to get censored soon because the Headquarters is beginning to think like Onischenko.
