By far the most worrying speculations, however, concern reports that suggest the A-H1N1 virus, may be a biological weapon, which escaped or may have been stolen from a U.S. Army Medical Command test lab, although the WHO and the U.S. government have been quick to deny such claims.
Speculation has been sparked because the H1N1 flu virus is described as a completely new strain, an intercontinental mixture of human, avian and swine viruses, from America, Europe and Asia, never previously seen. According to a source known to former NSA official Wayne Madsen, “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.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control, the new virus is a mixture of four different viruses: North American swine flu, North American avian flu, human H1N1 flu and a swine flu strain found in Asia and Europe. The claim of the conspiracy theorists is that this new combination could not have occurred naturally, but this is not true. Flu viruses consisting of a mixture of human, swine and bird strains have been found before. However, there is a sense in which the virus could be regarded as man-made.
But by far the most plausible explanation is that this monster is the long-predicted product of our farming system.

Even IF it were true, it's a pretty crappy weapon as those who are infected rarely die. It has less of an effect than the normal yearly flu.
The government could have saved us millions of dollars in research when all they had to to was use the common flu which has a higher death rate.
