Swine Flu Found as New Strain

On Friday, NPR reported: “The deadly swine flu combines genetic material from pigs, birds and humans flu in a way researchers have not seen before, thus leading us to suspect it was cooked up in a lab.”

Swine flu panic is spreading in Mexico and soldiers are patrolling the streets after it was confirmed that human to human transmission is occurring and that the virus is a brand new strain which is seemingly affecting young, healthy people the worst. Questions about the source of the outbreak are also being asked after a public health official said that the virus was cultured in a laboratory.

This strain of swine influenza that’s been cultured in a laboratory is something that’s not been seen anywhere actually in the United States and the world, so this is actually a new strain of influenza that’s been identified, said Dr. John Carlo, Dallas Co. Medical Director

Many people react with incredulity when the assertion is made that the so-called swine flu outbreak in Mexico may be manufactured crisis. And yet history is replete with examples of government using biological and chemical agent for political purpose.
