there’s a lot of speculation about this virus...

The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction?

“...The H5N1 virus on its own is not very airborne. However, when combined with seasonal flu viruses, which are more easily spread, the effect could be a potent, airborne, deadly, biological weapon. If this batch of live bird flu and seasonal flu viruses had reached the public, it could have resulted in dire consequences.
There is a name for this mixing of viruses; it’s called “reassortment,” and it is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created in the lab. Some scientists say the most recent global outbreak — the 1977 Russian flu — was started by a virus created and leaked from a laboratory.
Another example of the less sterling integrity of Big Pharma is the case of Bayer, who sold millions of dollars worth of an injectable blood-clotting medicine to Asian, Latin American, and some European countries in the mid-1980s, even though they knew it was tainted with the AIDS virus.
So while it is morally unthinkable that a drug company would knowingly contaminate flu vaccines with a deadly flu virus such as the bird- or swine flu, it is certainly not impossible. It has already happened more than once....”
Oh gosh, I remember the Russian flu. My husband and brother in law both got it. Fortunately I didn’t catch it, nor did our then under a year old baby. (perhaps it was the swine flu vacc I got the fall before that kept me well?) At any rate, that was the sickest I’ve ever seen anyone, very high fever and flat on their backs for several days. Very bad flu. It did not seem like a regular flu to me, even then.
