Bioterrorism in Korea?

[pandemic_1918]

Tommy Thompson talks about Bioterrorism and pandemic flu and up pops a 1933 human flu virus (WSN/33) in swine in Korea in 2004

The virus is definitely from a lab, but how it got into pigs on farms in Korea is the big question.

1. the world is seriously F*cked, n/t

3. Could be an Accident

The source of these sequences has not been determined, so it is possible that it is an accident, but it seems to have dramatically changed the gene pool in the pigs, which sets the stage for more major problems.

4. More Info Soon

More info should come out soon, but virus is showing up in many pigs.

5. WHO Investigating - Crisis Looming

Rumor has it (from multiple sources) that WHO is gathering the flu samples for confirmation. The sequences are real, the crisis is looming, and soon the story will break.

6. so, potentially, what is the risk of spread to humans?

and how soon...

7. Human Transmission

The potential transmission to humans is very high because two of the swine isolates had 7 human genes (out of 8), including the two that code for surface proteins H1N1.

Thus, it is really a human virus that should be just as transmissible as human flu. However, it has genes from 1933, so it could be very nasty and it produces fatal infections in mice.

Although there have been no reported human cases, the virus is a human virus, so infections may have gone undiagnosed. With flu season beginning in Korea now, the human cases may surface and of course a human case in Korea is one flight away from a human case in the US.

8. Update on Investigation

There is more information on the investigation at

This will become very big very soon.

10. Diversity in Pandemic Flu

The H1N1 in Korea is a problem in its own right, but it can also recombine with H5n1. Today Thailand announced more species positive for H5N1

So the number of different combinations continues to increase.

9. H5N1 in Indonesia

Looks like the virus has a two pronged attack. H5N1 has re-surfaced in Indonesia and is heading south toward Australia

11. fear mongering?

pandemic_1918 - Just out of curiosity, why do you only seem to post here & at freeperland only @ flu? It's kinda odd, are you Niman? Do you have some kind of financial interest in Recombinomics marketing plan?

12. Pandemic_1918

Why wouldn't pandemic_1918 post about bird flu?

13. Why wouldn't pandemic_1918 answer the questions?

Don't be disingenuous.

15. Bull! I've replied to you in exactly 2 threads! This was asked before ...

you even started the other thread, so don't even start screaming stalker! And you start accusing me before you ever answer a reasonable question? No one has trouble understanding your posts, friend. I do however have trouble w/you REPEATEDLY posting dire warnings of impending doom, & when other members ask 'what should we do?' you don't answer - just go on & post a NEW thread w/a repeat of the same variation impending doom!
As far as someone getting your threads locked or moved to obscure boards that no one reads, look to yourself & your monotonous flavor of topic. You are being paranoid, I sure as hell don't follow you around - your threads are hard to NOT trip over!

Furthermore, you STILL have NOT answered the question -
Do you have some kind of financial interest in Recombinomics marketing plan?


Per your statement about "moderators on DU are as clueless as those on Free Republic (and that is saying quite a bit)" - I do believe you have been banned from enough forums that you should choose who you insult with care. You will run out of places to post all your pearls of wisdom!

16. Following and WSN/33 and the 1918 Pandemic

I haven't followed you around to count how many times you have copied and pasted the same questions. I know of at least 2 (which I would calling following around) and they have both been answered.

I don't know of a recombinomics marketing plan, but that is certainly the place with the most current info on H5N1 and the WSN/33 sequences in Korean pigs, including the latest at

17. Answer

Hope you had a chance to read my answer before it was deleted.

18. Real cute - No answer there, just insults to DU & myself - that's why ...

it's deleted. Good tactic, though! You are on ignore buddy, find another theatre to holler FIRE in! Ta!

19. H1N1 in Swine Being Covered in China

Its pretty ironic that the human 1933 flu sequences in pigs in South Korea is being covered in China before its covered in the US
