Here is just one example of the kind of uproar I've been seeing:
http://www.infowars.com/swine-flu-is-deadly-mix-of-never-before-seen-viruses/
People are getting all up in arms that a medical director said the swine flu virus was cultured in a lab.
Haven't these people ever had a strep throat culture done? It's a test. You swab the throat, then roll the swab in culturing medium. If nothing grows, you don't have strep.
That is all the medical director was saying... that the strain had been tested in a lab. He was not suggesting it was created as a bio-weapon.
ARGH!!! Stupid people suck!!!

ROFLMAO. They would be very entertaining if they weren't so scarey.

Create a wicked hysteria hand out mask with virus in it…ensure it is inhaled ‘real good like’, kill all pigs except those who monsanto monster Inc created. Offer shots to catch any remnant resistant immune systems and voila! Make a killing because we know corporate does not mind stepping over bodies to make lots of money."
oh, wait a minnit. THAT one could be real. ;-P
