Speculations of Origins of Swine Flu Proliferate Across Internet

Ever hear of a ramped flu virus in April? The makeup of the H1N1 influenza flu strain spans three continents with a genetic mixture from avian, swine and human flu viruses. Mounting evidence points to a conspiracy that the swine flu in its current configuration, was cultured in a lab and is not natural by any means.

Though the World Health Organization (WHO) is referring to the situation as a "public-health emergency of international concern," the apparent emergence in several countries of this entirely new strain of H1N1 flu virus has led some scientists to believe that it is only a matter of time before the WHO declares pandemic status, a move that could prompt travel bans to infected countries.

The symptoms of swine flu are nearly identical to the symptoms of other influenza, including high fever, aches, coughing and congestion. It is spreading by human to human contact. No cases of infection from pigs have been confirmed. And although Russia and some other countries have banned imports of pork from Mexico, there is absolutely no evidence that it can be transmitted by eating meat, said Dr. Keiji Fukuda, assistant director general of the World Health Organization.

So many people travel globally now that, as long as this virus keeps infecting people, it is likely it will eventually get to where you live. Some countries are already using infrared cameras to spot people with fevers on flights from affected areas. But that won't stop it entirely, since five days can pass before an infected person shows symptoms, and the virus can spread before symptoms start.

Screw it. I’ll take the blame.

You're not qualified to take the blame since you aren't the President. Seriously I hope people read the full article so they understand the underlying motivation if WHO, UN and BO suddenly declare an emergency next month or early in September as to prevent tea party gatherings, particularly the one in Washington D.C. September 9-12. I'm not saying it will happen but it is worth paying attention.

Well, there has indeed been speculation that this H1N1 virus might have escaped from a lab, or might have been designed as a biowarfare weapon. That can’t be ruled out, but there’s no solid evidence that I know of.

The mysterious deaths of microbiologists mentioned in the article happened in the year after 9/11—i.e., in 2001 and 2002, and has nothing to do with this current outbreak. The article linked is undated, but is a piece of paranoia that connects the biologist deaths with the theory that the Jews were behind 9/11. Hardly likely.

It seems evident that this strain of H1N1 is easily capable of spreading directly from human to human. The origin may have been pigs and birds, and further strains might be hatched from such sources, but they are no longer important vectors for spreading it.

No question that WHO and the UN and the other governmental organizations, including Obama, would be delighted to have an excuse to impose martial law and to have a useful crisis that could help them increase their arbitrary power. That, I’m afraid, is a given.

It’s pretty certain to return in the fall. What we don’t know is how deadly it will be.

Well, there has indeed been speculation that this H1N1 virus might have escaped from a lab, or might have been designed as a biowarfare weapon.

If it was then whatever team did it needs to be fired; I've seen worse bio-threats on moldy food. Besides, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever genes spliced into delayed onset smallpox is what all the cool kids are doing these days.

Relax Chavez, it's just a cough...
