Both these influenza proteins, based on the genetic sequences released Friday May 1st by the U.S.
Centers of Disease Control (CDC), share their closest genetic identity with turkey (avian) and pig
(swine) strains from multiple continents including North America as well as Asia. Even the closest
matches indicate 5% previously unidentified genetic material.

I submit this evidence, coupled with the lack of the presence of this virus at the pig farm near the
proposed CDC's "patient zero" (a 5 year old from La Gloria, 80km away from the pig farm in
Perote, Mexico), shows that the origin of the flu outbreak remains unidentified at this time, and
cannot be ascribed to Mexican or North American swine.

Furthermore, I submit that since 5% of both these influenza A RNA sequences share no known
homology in any public databases (in addition to the avian/swine hybrid nature of both these
critical genes), that we must seriously consider a laboratory origin for this virus.

Future research that may be promising includes identifying critical SNPs, especially in the PB2
and the NS1 coding regions which may be markers for evolution of pathogen virulence, and
should be closely monitored. The hemagglutinin protein should also be monitored for acquisition
of a poly-basic amino acid site which would give the virus pantrophic properties as in the 1918
pandemic. “(Alexander S Jones)

50. The World Health Organization on May 11 said leading vaccine producers including Baxter,
Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline and Sanofi-Aventis had requested “wild type virus” samples of the A
(H1N1) or swine flu virus. MedImmune, which is now part of AstraZeneca, Baxter, CSL and
Solvay are also being sent samples, as are smaller developers Microgen, Nobilon International,
Omnivest Vaccines and Vivaldi. The WHO is co-coordinating scientific discussions over the virus,
and has said that, within the next few weeks, it is likely to make a recommendation on whether
and how to produce a pandemic vaccine.
