An investigation into the genetic make-up of flu viruses claims the pandemic may not have occurred, had it not been for the accidental release of the same strain of influenza virus from a research lab in 1977.
The Independent reported that researchers believe this strain of the virus had been extinct in the human population for more than 20 years until it was unwittingly reintroduced by scientists.
The study in The New England Journal of Medicine said: 'Careful study of the genetic origin of the (1977) virus showed that it was closely related to a 1950 strain, but dissimilar to influenza 'A' (H1N1) strains from both 1947 and 1957.
'This finding suggested that the 1977 outbreak strain has been preserved since 1950. The re-emergence was probably an accidental release from a laboratory source.'
The strain is thought to be behind the pandemic in 1977 which began in Russia and China.

ReplyDelete"accidental release"? Ha ! Don't make me laugh !
ReplyDeleteIt was deliberatedly not on purpose, I'm sure... :)
ReplyDeletesorry- Novavax were testing!! cdc supplied base virals in San Antonio, and where?? did it start up?
ReplyDeleterussias may have been that source, i still think this one is a closer to home stunt.
