My thanks to Crof and SophiaZoe for both calling attention to a new flu-centric blog called Immunocompetent, which from the looks of it should provide some lively discussions about influenza, policy, and how the subject is covered on the Internet.
I'll let the author's own words describe his site:
Immunocompetent is a place for enlightened talk about Bird Flu, and where xenophobia and fearmongering are banned.
Here you will find fresh perspective about the serious problem of potentially pandemic influenza. You'll get information and analysis that you won't find blogged elsewhere, because this site doesn't just comment on the news, it aims to make it.
From 1999 to 2008 your host, Edward Hammond, directed the Sunshine Project, a nongovernmental organization focusing on biological weapons and biosafety. He first stuck his toe into influenza issues in 2003, when the Sunshine Project issued one of the first public warnings that US scientists were intending to recreate 1918 influenza. Since 2006 he has focused on H5N1 issues, specifically, questions of access and benefit sharing related to influenza viruses.
I'm placing a link in my sidebar for Immunocompetent, and look forward to visiting often.
