H1N1

Another example is the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia. In a 2004 report, CDC to mix avian, human flu viruses in pandemic study, it was noted that,

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will soon launch experiments designed to combine the H5N1 virus and human flu viruses and then see how the resulting hybrids affect animals. The goal is to assess the chances that such a "reassortant" virus will emerge and how dangerous it might be."

Critics worried that such a "franken-virus" could itself cause a pandemic if it escaped from its creators. The CDC's only response is that their facilities were more secure than others who had experienced breaches of some sort in years past.

Why would the CDC risk world exposure to an artificially created virus? According to the above report, it was done in the name of preparedness.

Seems to me this quote comes into play from a czar in office that said that "every emergency should be used to this Governments advantage."

Now they are finding out that Canadians are dying from the H1N1 shot, they are being told not to give to anymore people - saw this on the news recently. Wonderful a shot that gives you the flu - like I get every time I get a shot. My doctor told me that afew people will get the flu through the shot and that I should think twice before receiving one.

I was suppose to receive a regular flu shot, but now with jury duty that hangs that up till December. Wonderful since most of the people working in the courthouse have it.
What a farce!!!!!

If this was man-made and was done on purpose 4,000 people and climbing who die are dying for this President, for Pelosi made it known that less people on this earth is better for it - and now we know why the Healthcare bill is so important to them. RATIONING!!!!!!

Can't wait for the shock & awe of it all.
Found this on the internet - and had to give you just a small piece of this for you to read, quite interesting.

Laugh if you must Len, but in China they found out recently is that the Avian Flu and Swine Flu are mutating. So tell me I'm wrong if you must, but watch the next mutation that happens. I'll be laughing at you!!!!

And this Government will have no clue as to what to do - you may die Len then for Tamiflu they are finding doesn't cure the flu that is mutating to a flu that will kill thousands.

Wonderful to have a clueless Government and how they don't even have scientist who know what to do with the next that is mutating as we speak in China and you know what Len - China if anything will have the beginnings of it and with this President, who will not close the borders or make sure we are protected - thousands if not millions will die. Just like the Government wants from what Pelosi said months ago.

Jiangsu suspects bird flu virus mutation

Shanghai. December 17. INTERFAX-CHINA - The H5N1 bird flu virus recently discovered in eastern China's Jiangsu Province may have mutated, local authorities announced on Dec. 17.

According to the Jiangsu Department of Agriculture and Forestry, bird flu-infected chickens in Jiangsu's Dongtai City and Hai'an county had been vaccinated against the virus although a new H5N1 virus strain has emerged and is unlike other strains previously discovered in southern China.

Jiangsu authorities reported the detection of the deadly H5N1 virus in poultry on Dec. 15 and have since ordered the culling of 377,000 poultry across the province. The Ministry of Agriculture announced on Dec. 15 that the outbreak in the two major poultry-rearing regions in Jiangsu may be attributed to migratory birds.

In the meantime, the National Bird Flu Reference Laboratory in Heilongjiang Province is running further tests on the virus, according to the Jiangsu Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

The MoA has also ordered chickens in the province to be vaccinated with a new vaccine in a bid to contain the outbreak.

Just last week, Hong Kong culled nearly 80,000 chickens after health authorities confirmed three chickens tested positive for the H5N1 virus. On Dec. 15, a 16-year-old girl died of bird flu in Egypt following contact with poultry.

BEIJING – China has detected eight people infected with mutated forms of the swine flu virus, a health official said Wednesday, but flu drugs and vaccines still work against it.

Flu viruses mutate easily, and scientists have been closing watching for signs that the swine flu virus is changing, which could make it more dangerous or more infectious.

Shu Yuelong, director of the Chinese National Influenza Center, told the official Xinhua News Agency that the mutated swine flu virus found in China was in "isolated" cases in the mainland, is not resistant to drugs and can be prevented by vaccines.

The report did not provide any more details, such as when the cases were detected and if they were linked to any deaths. Calls to the National Influenza Center rang unanswered while the Health Ministry did not immediately respond to a faxed list of questions.

The World Health Organization's spokeswoman in Beijing, Vivian Tan, said the agency had no information on the cases mentioned in the Xinhua report Wednesday.

On Friday, the WHO said it was looking into two deaths and one severe case linked to variant swine flu in Norway, after that country's Institute of Public Health announced that the mutation could possibly cause more severe disease because it infects tissue deeper in the airway than usual.

The same mutation has been found in both fatal and mild cases elsewhere, including in Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Ukraine, and the United States, said the WHO.

Tan said the agency is aware of three such cases in China that occurred in June and July that were similar to the cases being investigated in Norway.

"We are concerned, but realize that influenza viruses, including A/H1N1, are relatively unstable and change easily, especially as they infect more people," Tan told The Associated Press. "Some mutations can have minimal effects on how a virus functions, while other mutations can create important changes with significant public health impact."

China's Health Ministry said Wednesday that 51 swine flu deaths were reported last week, bringing the total number of fatalities in the country to 104.
