The only thing better than bacon is bacon wrapped in bacon.

With my Tin Hat firmly on, it is curious that now a potentially second deadly disease appears in pigs (swine flu being the first). Pigs; a food source only handled and consumed by infidels.

Reston ebolavirus (Rebov) has only been seen in monkeys and humans previously and, unlike other types of Ebola, it is not known to cause illness in people. Researchers say it is theoretically possible for the virus to mutate in pigs into a form that might sicken people.

Ok something seems odd about this. If it is already seen in humans, couldn't it just mutate in humans to a form that might sicken us without having to go through pigs?

Interesting. Back before there were vaccines, there was a similar situation with smallpox. There was a related disease, known as cowpox, which could only be caught from bovines, and caused a very minor illness. Cowpox caused the body to develope immunity to smallpox. This was considered to be a good thing, and may have been one of the important factors that led to the development of vaccines.
