No. It’s from the writer. But, I have certainly seen plenty of speculation about this all over the web.

All of the information is up at the NIH website. This virus was made in a lab from material that came from the CDC, the US Air Force lab and the US Navy lab. Sources are Laos, Hong Kong and Ontario from the 70’s.

there’s a lot of speculation about this virus...
-go halfway down the article:

The Swine Flu Pandemic – Fact or Fiction?

-———————————————— [snip]

“...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....”
