Llama blood Clue to Beating All Flu
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-46078989


Assessment: BBCNEWS, The British Broadcasting Corporation operating and founded  since October 18, 1922 which is about 96 years ago. The founder is John Reith. The British Broadcasting corporation is a British public service broadcaster. Its headquarters are at Broadcasting House in Westminster, London and it is the worlds oldest national broadcasting organization and the largest broadcaster in the world by number of employees.


Summary: This Article is about how scientist are on to something new and that it could be the solution to all different types of flu's. Scientist have been doing research on Llamas and injected some of top four flu strains and tested the Llamas blood and their anitbodies did very good against those types of Flu's. Flu virus is constantly mutating and changing and scientist think they could possible have found an antibody from Llamas that could get rid of Flu virus year to year no matter how much is changes. But vaccine has only been tested on rats and need more testing before it could be tested on humans.


Analysis: I think the Author is really is on to something and he is demonstrating it through facts they currently have based on the tests they have done. He is also demonstrating that our scientist are constantly doing research on different animals to find cures for different virus or illness. This article is showing the yes its right that the flu vaccine is not always working but because its mutating so this article is bringing hope to people that there might possible be and perminant vaccine.


Opinion: I personally feel that this is great news and liked the fact that this author wrote about this new discovery. because im the type of person that has never taken the flu vaccine because I don't trust it and hear about people that take it end up getting even more sick.  Probably since like the author mentioned that the flu virus keeps mutating. I do see this new Llama coming out soon and I believe it should be a major hit for the future health of all or us against the flu. I cant wait till they fully finish this vaccine and then maybe i'll be taking the flu vaccine.
