The new work "gives us another tool," said Anthony Fauci,
director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, who was not part of the research.
Fauci praised the study and said what it found in the effects on the body are stunning:
"There aren't a lot of things that can induce that robust of an inflammatory response that quickly."

Adolfo Garcia-Sastre, a Mount Sinai microbiology professor who conducted some of the earlier mouse work,
cautioned that it may be a mistake to focus so heavily on immune system response.
The 1918 flu "induces an overwhelming and probably damaging immune response system"
but it is l argely because the virus grows so much, he said.
In mice, when the overactive immune response was eliminated,mice died because of high viral levels.
"It's like a vicious circle, you get more viruses, you get more immune response and this results in damage,"
Garcia-Sastre said.
