Could H1N1 Swine Flu Virus Be Biological Warfare Attack?

With news of a dangerous strain of the Swine Flu virus which has already killed 68 people and infected more than 1,000 causing widespread panic, one wonders if this is the result of regular Human illness or another Terrorist attack?

After two more cases of the virus thought to have been transmitted from Mexico, were recently confirmed in Kansas, samples of the H1N1 strain are now being tested by U.S. Center for Disease Control personnel.

The CDC is familiar with the H3N2 Swine Flu virus, but unfamiliar with the H1N1 Swine Flu virus strain currently circulating.

By definition the Swine Flu is a strain of the Human Flu virus mixed with Pig and Bird genes.

It can be treated with vaccines however for new strains such as H1N1, the development of an effective vaccine could possibly take months.

Cause for panic surrounding the outbreak is due to how quickly this flu is spreading. The epidemic is spreading so fast CDC officials have admitted its too late for U.S. Medical officials to control it.

The most vulnerable victims of H1N1 are young children and the elderly.

Mexican Government officials are cooperating with White House officials who at the moment are closely monitoring the spread, in efforts to help save lives.

To help Mexican citizens officials have set up a Hotline, shut down all public events including Tourist attractions and closed schools.

In addition Mexican soldiers and Health Workers are passing out face masks.

Margaret Chan of the World Health Organization, states "the outbreak of the never-before-seen virus has “pandemic potential”, but she said it is still too early to tell if it would become a pandemic".

In 1918 a Spanish Flu strain spread killing more than 40 million people worldwide.

If this type of epidemic doesn't motivate Congress to please immediately begin reforming the American Health Care System, then what?

SYMPTOMS:

Fever, cough and sore throat, though some of the U.S. victims who recovered also experienced vomiting and diarrhea.

One has to wonder where did this unfamiliar strain originate from and how did it spread so rapidly? Could this latest Health Scare give rise for concern regarding another possible Terrorist attack in the form of Biological Warfare?

Let's hope not.

Interesting - my instinct is to say it's not, but I suppose you never know..

yeh just after we decide a war on drugs and guns in mexico and build a wall.wake up obama was just there and the g-20. we are being manipulated with fear and this is a biological attack.the only people who have the means to do this are gov of the g-20

The U.S are most probably holding information back from us. Why else would they release the health scare warning. They say it's standard procedure but maybe the numbers aren't what they say they are. We can't trust the U.S gov because they analyse every possible threat to human relations and are always trying to think about the reaction of the news they give us. They probably think that we would react negatively to news but we need the truth, whatever that may be. We will not riot like, say the Simpsons but it will help us understand the severity of the virus. There has been cases of swine flu before that could be treated. Personally, i think the virus has been selected by bioterrorists and has been treated pharmasutically to create a more powerful virus.

I immediately thought it might be bio-terrorism with the combination of three strains of virus. The reason Mexico and everyone else is so concerned - th people who died were between 20 - 40, which is unusual. Even if it is bio-terrorism, probably our gov't will not admit it.

The rabbit hole here is a little deeper than just wild guessing. 

On April 16, Obama was received at the anthropology museum in Mexico City by Felipe Solis, a distinguished archaeologist.  Solis died a week later and is now recognized as one of the first to die from the current pandemic.  He is also possibly the first infected, as the mortality rate and incubation period is as yet unknown.

Mexico City is the most densely populated city on earth.  If a terrorist wanted to release a lab-created virus in the most efficient spot possible, it would be Mexico City.  Targeting Obama by intentionally infecting Solis would be a bonus.

My..... what a coincidence.

I agree this is all too strange...........all of a sudden we suspect a possible "pandemic"  and dr. oz said on the morning show.......we will know by friday .......what the ?? more than a coincidence..........we have a right to know........but what can we do anyway.........we are all vulnerable ..............

I agree 100% with all the other comments stating that this was a biological attack. that i have no doubt of whatsoever, since this particular killer virus has been genetically altered. it is a fact, that a virus can mutate many times during its short lifespan. however,to genetically bond  a uniformed form of DNA to an acting virus  can only be done in petri dish. several cultures containing various virus elements must to be grown under ideal conditions first, before any genetic manipulation can be accomplished.

 biochemical footprint

This so-called naturally occurring disease killed at first because, it was programmed genetically to do just that. then later as part of its genetic makeup it weakens considerably sickening those who are exposed to it. unfortunately the final phase is a genetic reversal causing the now dormant virus to once again mimic an individuals immune system responses, then mutate back to a even deadly form  with some legal potential behind it.

Now this is nothing new, our good friends in the Soviet Union have thousands of these potential killer cultures locked away in some climate controlled vault. This all secretly developed as part of a insane germ warfare agenda. Think! while we drop our guard in trying to appease the entire world, the Russians have doubled there efforts to create the perfect biological weapon. Yes, a weapon that mimics a simple virus than explodes into a deadly one.

I'm 100% certain now that this Swine Flu epidemic that started in good old Mexico city is the result of a deliberate premeditated act of mass murder. a nightmare scenario if you will. were a glass test tube containing this biological agent  is deliberately shattered  in the midst of a large unsuspecting population. Mexico city was obviously the best choice for ground zero too, something a mindless virus would know nothing about.

Now this could be only a test to see how fast the new device of death spreads. data taken from this attack will obviously be used in the next, a far more deadlier virus than man has ever known. and those who are responsible for its development and use, had already been noted as " inventors of evil inventions" in the last chapter of Revelation.

this is not an american healthcare system problem, it is a homeland security problem of epic proportions. this is a genetically modified  virus. the cdc has never seen this before and it could be an attack of biological warfare.

This is not an organic virus but purely man-made.I agree with you all,  this can be a biological warfare . The pandemic virus purpose is to attack and eliminate human population..I don't believed it was flu that infected many people but a poisonous chemical stirred with germs and bacterias..Right now i can't conclude it might be a politically motivated by washington to divert the issue of  U.S Military abused against prisoners in afghanistan,iraq and guantanamao bay,Cuba..Everytime i hear about swine flu drama it is nothing different in any hollywood flicks like resident evil,dawn of the dead,quarantine,andromeda strain and i am legend of will smith. I think the U.N,the U.S and G20 must iniate cremation on the dead bodies before it becomes a zombies.

This HAS to be a biological attack! Think about the countries that have been infected. America, Canada, France, England, Australia, New Zealand.... ISREAL. Am I the only one who sees this as coincidence? 

It seems like way too big of a convenience that in the worst economic slump in recent American and global history that the Westernized world along with its European and other allies have been infected with a genetically engineered super virus that combines three completely different flu strands. 

My guess would be China. Russia is a possibility. Untill I see evidence of infection in their countries and not just in their economic rivals and future adversaries (that would be us) then I will continue to beleive that this virus was engineered and systematically released. Mexico was just the convienent dumping ground. Who wouldn't believe that Mexico would culture a nasty virus called "swine flu". The general public is too ready to accept this don't by into it!

Close the borders before its too late!!!

Yep, made in a petri dish!  Just sit back and enjoy the show. I just hope it does'nt mutate with H5N1(straight up bird flu) or we could be in for a wild ride. Just happy I did'nt get rid of this extra spare tire before summer, it might just come in handy! Heh! Heh!

people have got to open there eyes and seek the truth it is a weapon and someone is trying to kill us

This is definitely a Biological attack against President Obama, there are many extremist parties that may want him dead, maybe Extremists from within the U.S, Al Qaeda , or even the Mossad.. who knows whats going on. I hope this will blow off, and President Obama wasn't effected, we haven't seen an American president this good in a long time.

Let's think about this reasonably for a second:

The government seems to throw out the fact, "Oh, it's a horrible epidemic!" when none of the important government officials seem to be suffering.

A random new strain (which almost seems impossible naturally) somehow comes along and hits a MAJOR CITY (A very good place for a test) and is locked down.

Somehow this all leads to tell me that I need to put it bluntly:

I do not doubt that all this "swine flu" is, strain H1N1, is just a genetically engineered common flu. Otherwise.. why would it be so deadly if it were just no different from a regular flu? Simply put, natural forces couldn't have created this. Ebola may have been natural, but it wasn't a flu; it just ate your intestines.

Dear commentators, I agree with you. It's a biologically crafted virus, and you can guess Pakistan (with help from China) is responsible for this.

Pakistan is enjoying huge aid from US without any monitoring and getting all technologies of mass destruction from China. You can find stories on internet which in which Mexicans are blaming the Paki's/Bangladesh for the virus.

Biological weapon.

Russia and China both have one of the most sophiticated military biological labs in the world.China nad Russia both have been heavily hit by USA financial scandaL.Russia has more then 10 million unimployed and as a second largest producer of oil is loosing ground at 50 dollars per barrel.That in its self is a strong enough reason to commit na act of hatred against USA and members of Nafta.Obejetive beeing economic decimation.

Virus was introduced far from Russia and China in the hope that the epidenic will not hit them at all.At any case they the potential innitiators of this epidemic have a long time plenty of suplies of the vaccines.Specificali Cina which had the incidents of this virus in the past.

At the end they can benefit supplying the vaccines to the rest of the world.Funny not?

Russia was not able to defeat USA duiring cold war Reagan did help the collaps of USSR Putin considers this act as the biggest defeat of Russia in the recent history.That is the main reason why they are trying to destroy US economicaly but..it seems that doing that they themselves will drown too.

It's also interesting to note that just weeks ago, Mexico decided to impose high tariffs on US imports causing huge potential losses to US businesses. Many of the businesses affected are located in states represented by current US officials.

The imposing of tariffs by Mexico, which subsequently has angered many US officials and businesses, is the result of an ongoing trade dispute between Mexico and the US, Mexico feels that the US has disrespected the NAFTA agreement.

Seems logical to think that certain individuals of power possessing biological warfare capabilities would use such a weapon to carry out a twisted form of retribution in the midst of a trade war.

Hahaha! You're all so darn cute. Freaking out over sniffles. Absolutly precious.

You know the regular "non-lethal" flu has already killed about 12000 people in the US this year. Assuming for half a second that a gaggle of terrorists were actually capable of GENETIC ENGENEERING (oooh, big scary thought), what's the point? "Their" virus is a pansy compared to it's big brother. They'd kill more people if they, oh, I dunno... flew an airplane into a building or something.

 

Although, I will say it's been somewhat amusing to watch everyone w/ a luekwarm IQ piss their pants over the dredded PIGGY FLU!!

 

FEAR!!! FEAR THE SNIFFLES!!!!

 

I suppose it never occured to anyone that the reason Mexico suffered ALL of the fatalities in this is because Mexico is practically a 3rd World Country, and not really high up there on the whole "best medical care in the world" list. In fact, that might explain the poor girl who tragically died in Texas. Yeah. Her parents left Mexico when she got sick to bring her to the US for actual treatment.

No, it must be a massive conspiracy, thrown together by either some cave dwelling Islamic Troglodites, or the same brain trust who brought us Katrina, the economy and Mission Accomplished.

Makes perfect sense. :D

comment above by Jon Alessandro  says we not to worry about the swine flu because it not something to be scared of and that in his opinion it only affaecting  third world countries!!!     Well here we are 24 july 2009 and we had 100,000 cases of swine flu in 1 week in England uk.Though we got economic problems we not third world/though at times i wonder/ but it appears it getting way out of control at present and things are looking quite scary whether we like it or not.Regards it being weaponised? who knows?one thing seems certain and that is that it is an unusual strain with uncharacteristic traits which are causing some people in the scientific community to sit up and pay attention to it,s possible endgame.The facts are that this virus could without doubt mutate and develop resistance to possible treatments,should this occur then we are really going to be in a world of pain.

Here's a little interesting factoid. In 1918 the world experienced a similar health threat in which 50 million people died. In 1929 the stock market crashed. Although seemingly unrelated, these 2 events go hand in hand. The crash of 1929 was not an overnight event but rather the culmination of an economic downward spiral which started at least a decade before. When 7 – 10% of the populace is unemployed, the best way to get the economy out of that slump is to remove at least half of that percentage from the economic equation. In the past, this had usually done by starting a war somewhere and sending our boys overseas- thus creating job opportunities for some of the unemployed left behind. This of course, is assuming the unemployed weren’t forcefully drafted or pressured to enlist seeking economic opportunities.

The beauty of this scenario is that, you don’t have to target the unemployed specifically. You just simply have to know what the unemployment percentage is and set about removing that percentage amount from society; working age citizens only – of course.

When a war couldn’t be justified, other means were or could have been employed. I don’t believe the pandemic of 1918 was man made but I do think it likely that it was left to run its’ course for the longest possible amount of time.

Starting wars nowadays for this purpose, although still an attractive option (at least for other reasons), would not work in reducing, or controlling, population growth. The reason is that we’ve developed a whole arsenal of weapons that are designed to keep us away from the battlefield. Yeah, we still flinch when we hear on the evening news about how a handful of soldiers paid the ultimate price. But in comparison the number of casualties from current wars, pales to the number of casualties from previous wars. I believe we stopped taking heavy war casualties immediately after Vietnam.

 

We live in a society where self restraint is not something people practice or aspire too. We, the US, have encouraged third world nations to grow themselves out of poverty without stopping to think where the resources would come from. Those same third world countries took our advice to heart with a vengeance and developed somewhat competent work forces that charge a fraction of what we, in western society, would accept. As a result, US companies, fighting to remain competitive; have relocated to foreign countries leaving the US workers to fend for themselves. US workers that are now unemployed and are continuously bombarded with commercials for everything from potato chips to aspirin-free aspirin (?), ask, “What happened”?

If the 1918 flu pandemic was indeed used as a tool, to control human population in order thwart an economic crisis; I can’t really say that it worked because the market still crashed in ‘29. But I will say this; we as a species are very selective on when to learn from our mistakes – what didn’t work then could definitely be made to work now.

We will soon know, one way or another.

Very interesting.

Now China has a infected person. Does that mean they want to kill themselves by biological weapon? Just as the SARS?

Be sensible, buddy.

I believe that terrorist have had a huge amount of time since 911 to plot against the united states ... why would they go for crashing planes into buildings when thats something that we would expect ? why not go for a more subtle attack such as the swine flu ? i must agree that it couldnt naturally create itself ... the government seems way too calm about the influenza ... and if indeed it is not as serious as the common flu then why are schools being shut down ? the govt may not want to release any imformation though because of course why would it matter ... if it is biological warfare , what can we as the general population do anyways ? run ? its already affecting countries worldwide ...

Not sure if it's terrorist attack, though do think it's man made. Accident or mistake I don't know

What better way to draw attention to the socialist health care bill before congress... the more you read, the scarier it gets.    If this was a deliberate release of a virus... political reasons would be a possible motivation.

Everyone needs to start paying attention to the erosion of civil liberties this president and congress are in the process of performing on the United States of America.

The more you read, the scarier it gets....  Excessive debt, Control of Banking (Bank Bailout), Control of Industry (Bailout of Chrysler and GM), proposed Gun Laws...

In 2010 we, as a people need to make a statement.... when you vote for your US Senator or Representative.... don't pay attention to their party... pay attention to whether or not they are an incumbent.    If they are... VOTE THEM OUT.... VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY.

If every American did this, it would show Congress once and for all that we are sick of their stuck up better than thou attitude.   VOTE FOR FREEDOM   VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS.     This would clear the house of representatives and get rid of a 3rd of the leeches in the senate.

No, I'm not some Right Wing Wacko... I'm just a guy who watched as Bush took away our civil liberties in the name of security, and now we have someone even worse destroying our freedoms and our American Way of Life.  

Please read, please study, please spend a few hours a day researching the goals of congress and Obama...    then in 2010   VOTE FOR THE OTHER GUY!

VOTE FOR WHO???? 

It doesn't matter who leads left or right the real power is behind the scenes

and they hold all the cards and pull all the strings even if you get a good leader(s)

her/ she/ they still need to fall in line with those who control everything otherwise they get killed.....doesn't matter if you are kennedy, martin luther king or even men like to sadam if you don't fit into their plans you are gone.

They keep us busy with our bling, TV, Iphones and all the trappings of money we are easy to control. 

The end is near my friends....it's does not matter what race or creed you are the signs are everywhere. Bio weapon or not global warming, pollution, bio diversity falling at a alarming rate, the spread of nukes, giant rocks from space (that hardly anyone seems to be paying attention too) injustice all around the globe these are dark days people

when both science and almost all religions or faiths past and present agree. Then should know we are in big trouble.

care for your friends, love ones even your foes (somewhat) for we all have little time left and we may as well go out with some level of respect and courage with our head held high on the side of good.
