The swine flu virus did not result from a laboratory accident, the World Health Organization said Thursday, working to debunk rumors started by an Australian virologist and circulated by news outlets all over the world.

Ok so now they are stating publicly that this mutated virus is naturally occurring? Is this just a way to try and save face or is it true? I've only seen one article on it so far, so if anyone has insight
While viruses with this genetic makeup had not previously been found to be circulating in humans or pigs, there is no formal national surveillance system to determine what viruses are circulating in pigs in the U.S.
you speak as if you know how virus work, yet your words don't seem to portray that... they combined, the virus and the other type of virus - that's what happens, all the time.
But, is it possible someone would prefer that the response from WHO and other health agencies weren’t successful? The highly unusual and unique makeup of the virus is leaving many to speculate that swine flu was deliberately created in a lab, possibly as a biological weapon

A virus mutates in nature. It doesn’t splice DNA with Swine, Avian Bird, and the 1918 Spanish Flu virus from North America, Europe, and Asia. That happens in the laboratory.
If it were a naturally occuring phenomena wouldn't it stand to reason that something like it would have been discovered and reported on at some time before now? Since this particular strain has been publicly reported to be a "never before seen" strain, I have my doubts about the naturally occuring stance taken here.

Viruses are packages of hereditary material, DNA or RNA. They can get into the cells and take over the command over the cells activities and make it produce new copies of viruses. This commonly kills the infected cells. Dangerous viruses have a great ability to penetrate into cells and to spread and multiply so that extensive damage is caused. While many viruses are species-specific, some viruses may cross species borders.

According to two mainstream media journalists, one in Mexico City and the other in Jakarta, who spoke to WMR on background, they are convinced that the current outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in Mexico and some parts of the United States is the result of the introduction of a human-engineered pathogen that could result in a widespread global pandemic, with potentially catastrophic consequences for domestic and international travel and commerce.
The journalists have been told by top officials of the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) about the grave dangers posed by the new and deadly swine flu strain, known as A-H1N1. This flu, never before seen by scientists, has already killed up to 68 people in Mexico and has forced the cancellation of public events, including sports matches and concerts, and the closure of schools, libraries, and museums. Eight cases have been reported in Texas and California. Doctors are examining several students at a Queens high school in New York who displayed symptoms similar to those experienced by swine flu patients in Mexico.
Our Mexico City source said a top scientist for the United Nations, who has examined the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa, as well as HIV/AIDS victims, concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission “vectors” that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon. The UN expert believes that Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and the current A-H1N1 swine flu virus are biological warfare agents.
Past swine flu outbreaks have been spread from pigs to humans, who then passed the flu on to other humans. However, with A-H1N1, there have been no reported infections of pigs. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), A-H1N1 has gene segments from North American swine, bird and human flu strains and a segment from Eurasian swine flu. Costa Rica, Brazil, and Peru have issued alerts to check all incoming passengers from Mexico at border crossings, airports, and seaports for symptoms of the swine flu.
WHO is convening an emergency session of its top medical experts in Geneva and is set to declare H1N1 a “public health event of international concern.” It is reported that WHO will recommend travel restrictions to and from areas where the flu has been reported, including Mexico City and the states of Mexico, Hidalgo, San Luis Potosà and Oaxaca.
Our Jakarta source said WHO officials are afraid that the presence of gene segments from dreaded H5N1 bird flu in the A-H1N1 swine flu strain could mean that the new swine flu strain was engineered to “jump species.”

this is just silly, i'm not going to debate further - you spouted some nonsense about how virus work with which was completely wrong, i show you the truth but no you totally ignore it -it's as if you couldn't see it. Now you come back with this?
You clearly don't have an indepth comprehension of biology certainly not pathogenic biology - maybe you shouldn't go around acting like you know all the answers?
Ok, basically the whole 'is it man made' comes down to the simple (and i've heard alex jones repeat this every 2min) 'but no pigs have been found with it.....' of course they fail to mention that no one is looking for viral infections in swine herds (certainly not in the poor regions of mexico, or amid wild swine population (not just escaped pigs also animals who have a biological compatibility to the same pathogenic compounds))
We only really notice these things when they effect us, in fact most of the time we don't even notice in human populations - some people get sick, sleep it off then move on - never once seeing a doctor, if they do see a doctor the doc says 'sure its a flu, sleep it off'
then someone sees a new strain and starts looking for it, suddenly it seems to be all over the place.

oh and YOU might need to choose who to believe me or some random writer - I however actually bothered to read and understand the situation, i understand whats going on so i don't need to believe anyone but myself.
