New Wave of Disinformation: “Pigs at Risk” of Contracting the H1N1 Swine Flu
Michel Chossudovsky

Saturday, July 11, 2009
“Pigs at risk from people as new flu spreads” citing authoritative scientific sources is the title of a recent news report. “With the increasing numbers of human infections, a spillover of this virus to pigs is becoming more likely.”
Pigs are the victims. Humans are the perpetrators. In a twisted logic, the news reports convey the impression that only people can infect pigs with the H1N1 swine flu and that pigs cannot be the original source of the infection.
The reports also convey the impression that hog farms are clean and that the swine flu is not endemic to the hog farms:
“German scientists are warning of a pig pandemic after tests suggested the swine flu can pass from humans to hogs and then infect a whole herd.A team of virologists at Germany’s national animal health research lab recently infected five pigs with the human strain of the H1N1 virus and put the sick pigs in a room with three healthy pigs.Within four days, all the pigs had the flu. All of them recovered.A research paper to be published Friday in the Journal of General Virology warns “the high transmissibility of the virus observed in humans also applies to pigs.”
That increasingly puts pigs at risk as the virus spreads among humans.
“It must be assumed that this virus will spread fast and efficiently if introduced into swine farms, possibly establishing endemic infections,” the paper says.
“With the increasing numbers of human infections, a spillover of this virus to pigs is becoming more likely.”
There is no evidence pigs are passing the swine flu virus to humans, or that eating pork products poses an infection risk.
Dr. Thomas Vahlenkamp, who headed the team of virologists at Germany’s Friedrich Loeffler Institute, said the tests show how susceptible pigs are to the virus.
“We would not claim that the virus can easily be transmitted to pigs,” he said.
“But at least if the pig is infected, it can transmit it quite easily between pigs.”
…
This is not the first time researchers have shown pigs can catch the human strain of the H1N1 virus. British scientists ran similar tests in May with the same results.
But it’s believed the German scientists are the first to publish their findings in a scientific journal.
….Canada is only one of two places where the pandemic virus has been found in pigs. The other is Argentina.” (Canadian Press, July 9, 2009, emphasis added)
The German report also suggests that pigs are at risk to contract the virus from humans, and should be vaccinated to avoid the spread of the virus among the pig population:
The German scientists say experiments are underway to see whether there are any vaccines available for pigs that might stop the spread of the swine flu. (Ibid)
The report blatantly contradicts itself in claiming that human to pig transmission is the main causal factor:
“In April, swine flu appeared in pigs on an Alberta farm. At first, health officials thought a farmhand who had been to Mexico and fell ill upon his return infected the pigs. But blood tests showed the worker didn’t infect the herd. (Ibid, emphasis added)
The report refers to a Canadian hog farm in Alberta where more than 200 animals were infected with the H1N1 virus in a single hog farm. (For further details see Michel Chossudovsky,The A H1N1 Pandemic: Pig to Human Transmission of the Swine Flu? Global Research, May 15, 2009).
(ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW)
The incident was covered up. The facts were distorted. Health authorities initially stated that it was a Mexican farm worker who infected the pigs.
It was, however, established that human to pig transmission was not the cause.
SO WHAT WAS THE CAUSE? More precisely if humans are not the source of infection of the pigs, who is the source of the infection? Where did the virus infection originate? This question was carefully sidestepped both by Canadian health officials and the media.
If more than 200 animals are infected with H1N1 virus on a single hog farm, does this not suggest that the virus was endemic to that particular hog farm.
The pigs were subsequently culled to “kill the evidence”
There are indications that pigs in North American hog farms, as evidenced by the Alberta hog farm, could be infected with the H1N1 strain and that this is not the result of human to pig transmission.

Yeah, the MSM is heating up on this crap… Just in time to give a few months to get it firmly embedded in the collective subconscious of the american people. I think we should take it upon ourselves to try to spread the word to the sheeple. It could save lives.
The greatest love is to give your life for your brother. One way ticket to heaven.

Well in pigs will be infected with swine flu , H1N1 , guess that is proof they made this virus in a lab !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine knows the 30 year old man from Essex who died in the UK yesterday – he had no underlying health issues. The 9 year old girl who died – her underlying health issue was epilepsy…nothing that should have effected or ‘helped’ the flu virus. I think this isn’t as clear cut as people think.

Here in New Zealand, there are 5 official deaths of people who had the swine flu. I have followed closely the reports and in all cases the media eventually reported that the people each had medical conditions that complicated the illness and then caused the deaths. In at least 1 case it was reported a 19yr old male had serious asthma. In another 35yr old woman was seriously obese with diabeties etc etc. In each case the underlying medical problems were a mere footnote in the media reports, leaving the impression (if one doesn’t listen carefully) that these were young healthy people cut down in their prime by a “leathol virus.”
mjb, No disrespect intended, and I am sorry for your friends loss, but your post is the first I’ve heard anywhere that there was no underlying med condition. It wouldn’t suprise me if it was dug a little deeper into that there was maybe something not initially apparent.
But you are right totally that the whole thing is not clear cut. especially since we know this virus was created in a lab.

Even if it was a naturally occurring virus, it still only has a .5% mortality rate. Hardly something to get upset about. Surely, the regular flu has a comparable number. And I’m sure the vaccine would have a higher mortality rate. Of course, I also think that anyone who would take the vaccine pretty much deserves what they get. As Bill Hicks would say, “Good! One less idiot in the world!

Hi Chris. I have said before that noone is taking time to vacinate the poor pigs who have suffered the most from this Pandemic. I would like to iniate a petition from all the bloggers that these oppressed animals receive the first shipment of Swine Flu vaccinations without delay.

Vaccinations don’t work, they are a myth perpetrated by the medical mafia.

sorry, should read “a myth perpetuated by the medical mafia”
But they are also a crime perpetrated by the medical mafia (deliberately introducing carcinogens and toxins into an otherwise healthy body).

Vaccinate my Pig?You touch her and I’ll gut you.And no I am NOT kidding.If you have ever been on any real Farm you would know that we use Private Vets. Like Alex assisted or we inoculate our livestock and poultry ourselves. Antibiotics are over the counter items.We mix most of them into the drinking water for Poultry and other livestock. Even FISH farms use antibiotics in Hospital tanks.So anyone buying this Swine Flu for anything more than a False Flag Bio-weapon deployment is an idiot.Only in this country could people have a Science Adviser who advocates Using our food and water supply to sterilize us and yet not get that we’re already poisoned and have been for well over 60 years.

THIS is the significance of the anti-swine stigma.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G....._Old_Spots
This animal is currently on the “Critical” List by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy,[4] meaning there are fewer than 200 annual registrations in the United States and estimated fewer than 2000 global population. In the UK the Old Spots is listed as “Category 5, Minority” by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust as there are fewer than 1000 registered breeding females.
And THIS is ME.

So If the mass sentiment is for FEMA to slaughter all Pigs then FEMA or anyone trying had better think twice.

shes gorgeous! good on you for keeping the old breeds going:-)
and as this lab made flu is NOT standard swine flu, i would NOT be as stupid as those fools giving it to the poor test pigs, that is the height of idiocy! they just added human, and avian flu into a species that did NOT have it.
how F,n Bright indeed.

hey pig pig piggy pig pig. All of my fears came true.

Pigs are now infected with human flu and let us call this H20 N20 virus.
Next pandemic to hit the world is a Goat or Sheep Flu. While Bexter has already manufactured the vaccine for it before it staging in the world market.
So better be prepared and do not ever say that we were not told or we have been caught with our oants down.

I have been putting up hidden messages in films for about a week now, this is another one about ET now keep in mind if you don’t have a very open mind, you will not see any of this and will write it all off as coincidence. There is a theme running though movies and many of them have this same hidden message, always a different aspect of the same thing. So please don’t click the link if you are one of those people who sees nothing!

Sniff-sniff-cough-cough—-Please; Many perish each year from many strains of flu. This is no different. Did you notice how quickly all major news outlets backed away…no conspiracy…common sense prevailed when they recognized not enough blood in the water to continue reporting.

I will be the first volunteer to make the sacrifice to lower planet population because I am domestic terrorist scum and the enemy of truth. It is lying faggots like me that destroy the nation through ignorance and deception. I am the enemy of freedom. I help the terrorists by speading lies and helping to tear down freedom. The troops are there for the money and don’t give a fart about freedom. All they do is help spread the tyranny by murdering innocent civilians and someday they will come for me because I am exceess baggage for the dictatorship. My big mouth will not save me. There is no place in the NWO for me. In fact, I am not a soldier at all, I’m just a big mouth spewing turds of deception and that is because I am so brainwashed and stupid, that is all I know how to do. I am a coward and the awful truth scares the hell out of me so I cover up my fear with lies. I am a bootlicker and I have no place in a land of freedom. I belong in North Korea. Maybe after I lost my freedom to tell lies I might realize that maybe freedom was worth fighting for after all.

Good to see you’re not in denial any more. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.
