Large-scale bird and hog-raising operations are in fact LESS likely to be a factor in the development of this variety of flu. Flu varieties most often come from China and other countries in the East, where micro family farms are the tradition. Pigs, chickens and ducks there live with people under the same roof. The usual flu variety development involves all three with viruses bouncing back and forth among the three species.

In a large-scale hog-raising operation, birds are unlikely to be anywhere near the hogs, and people won't be living near the hogs. Corporate hog-raisers are also much more likely to immediately cull any sick animals, and recognize any illnesses. There's no evidence with this flu that hogs are involved. This is too convenient for the anti-corporate farming crowd, the 'natural-food' wackos, the ELF/ALF crowd, the 'Carbon-signature' wackos, etc. Beware the nonsense.

Well, I'm extrememly sick of the piggish attitudes and actions of the hogs in congress, the White House, and the lame stream media.

I found this mentioned in <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/apr/27/swine-flu-search-outbreak-source">the Guardian</a>, when I was looking for info on patient zero. I find it quite ingenious to apply the source of the swine flu to a US-owned industrial pig production facility. I wonder if the local Mexican-owned pig farms get their stock regularly vaccinated for swine flu? There is an article from Reuters titled "First Mexico Fatal Flu Victim Sought Help for Days" where Mexico Chief Epidemiologist proceeds to state that the victim went to several 'private' clinics and finally died in a hospital. He also claims that "the presence of Eurasian swine flu genes in the H1N1 virus makes it unlikely that the disease originated in a Mexican pig farm." Pigs are not native to the Americas. In fact they can be traced back to the Eurasian wild pig (Sus scrofa) which was domesticated over 9,000 years ago.
