Russian doctors fear swine flu might mix with bird flu
Filed Under Bird Flu, Emerging Diseases, H1N1, Influenza, Pandemic, Swine Flu
Russian doctors fear that a new flu virus might appear as a result of reassortment between the swine flu and bird flu viruses, Russia’s chief sanitary official said on Monday.
“We have been monitoring it very closely,” Gennady Onishchenko told journalists.
The H1N1 swine flu virus, which has sickened about half a million people worldwide with about 7,800 fatalities, is believed to have originated as a result of reassortment between the viruses of human flu, swine flu and bird flu.
The combination of H5N1 bird flu and H1N1 viruses could become a monstrous hybrid – a virus that combines high mortality rate of the former and ability to transmit efficiently among people of the latter.
The announcement followed media reports that doctors have registered a swine flu mutation, resistant to Tamiflu, a drug commonly used to treat the disease. AFP reported that in some cases the mutated virus also had an increased ability to attack lung tissue.

People dying is not a good thing but…I looked it up online & it stated that appx. 38,000 people died in the USA last year from ‘the flu’. If this is the case why all the hype this year??

Sorry, but the figure thrown around all the time (annual flu deaths in America) by the CDC is 36,000. It is a total myth, pulled out of a hat somewhere.
The real figure is about 1/10th this, but it can’t certain. Why? Because the exact cause of death can ONLY be determined by a blood test and recent studies (uncovered by a brilliant expose on CBS a few weeks ago), discovered that most “flu cases” are not the flu at all…not swine flu and not the regular flu. Hype sells, but independent thinking, well, who has time to do this? We have to watch our 4-5 hours of television each day.
I hope this helps.

What will they call it when swine flu mixes with bird flu? When pigs fly. (sorry I could not resist)

They said that an African American would be in the White House when “Pigs fly”. Not long after President Obama took office, swine flu.

I wish these medical professionals would stop making or speaking their comments about the subject. I think their comments are all part of installing fear among the general public. I think we would be better off shutting them out. Please keep your comments or ideas about the subject to yourself. If they don’t have anything positive to say, shut up.

i guess they did not get enough people to take the flu shot, so now they are creating a new flu so they can try to scare more folks.
then just maybe more unknowing folks will
get the new vaccine adding bird feathers….
sooner or later more folks will understand this!!!! this whole pharmaceutical insanity
is more scary then any flu!!!

Linda, I agree with you.
The Squalene that our Pharmaceutical companies want to use in vaccines (oil & water) will allow them to make the cultivated viruses go further so they can inject more of us – cheaper production
When Squalene “OIL” is added to a virus, the body attacks it. Now the body has been reprogrammed to attach all “OIL” even the good oils like virgin olive oil and others. Where is the oil mostly used in our body, the BRAIN and CEREBRAL spinal fluid.
Why do we have more Autism and MS?????
Squalene was used in the Gulf War on our Military men and produced the Gulf War Syndrome.
It is not legal in the US….but if they can declare and enact a National Emergency all normal safeguards go by the wayside and PRESTO (the vaccine company gets an approval) all in the guise of saving the public.

Yes, viruses mixing and mutating, especially in the lab. Just ask Baxter.

I think this “mutation” has already occurred. The Ukraine flu fits this description perfectly. I for one was not too worried about the swine flu, but the Ukraine flu – that is another matter. It is hemmorhagic, and much more deadly. Bird flu, if you recall, was hemorrhagic, but not easily transmittable. Mixing it with Swine and human flu made it more transmittable. Whether or not this was a natural mutation is a question for debate – and Baxter pharmaceuticals may have the answer.

Is there any information about this subject in other languages?

“Yes, viruses mixing and mutating, especially in the lab. Just ask Baxter.”
This is the beginning and end of this man made “pandemic”.
ALL the so called mutations and “reassortments” Are IMO nothing other than individual bio-weapons, long ago developed, being released in sequence to appear to be some pernicious progression.
Could this deadly farce be any clearer?
A fake pandemic brought to us by fake politicians who also happen to be fake human beings.

Bird flu is a serious illness that affects birds. Especially chickens, That can be spread from birds to humans and that can cause death. Recently the breaking out of bird flu has taken us aback. We could never think of such kind of problem in our country. However thanks to the Almighty that it could not break out in an epidemic form because of the timely intervention of the government and people’s consciousness about the matter. The cause of bird flu in our country could not be detected. It was thought that it might have been carried and spread by the imported chickens from our neighboring countries like Thailand and China. Because the breaking out of bird flu in an epidemic form has been seen in China and Thailand. Poultry farming has had a positive effect on the social economic condition in our country. It helped many rural poor women to break the chain of poverty and see better days to their lives. But the recent breaking out of bird flu has shadowed their smiling faces into gloomy ones and clouded their foreheads. It has emptied their fertile farms and turned the firms into barren hands. We have seen the hearts. However, it is heartening that our government has taken an all out efforts to give loans to the people engaged in poultry farming on easy terms to keep their income generating industry on and to bring about better days and see the gloomy faces glowing with beatific smile and keep their heads above all consuming poverty.
