Next Question
I was looking for the sources that would be in the article but I couldn't find any. I followed the link to the Pandemic article and again, found very few sources, and most of those were circular in nature - back to articles about the author.
That always makes me suspicious of what the article is talking about. If this is about a virus and whether it's man-made or not, where are the science articles? Where are the corroborating scientists? On what basis do you consider this a real issue - a blog by a Wellness doctor? Yes he has credentials but so do I - it does not mean I'm right about everything :-)
The virus is real, the pandemic scenario is a real possibility and the ever changing nature of viruses means they do unexpected things like mutate.
The flu virus is not fake, it exists.
The linked article is a poor source of reliable information, and states one idea by a doctor who thinks its man-made

I do believe that the swine flu is real and not fake. Look at the numbers. the families of the victims will tell you that their loved one is dead.
On a personal note. I live in Mississippi and a friend of mine died this morning. Now they are thinking that she may have had the swine flu and are going to do an autopsy.
So is it real? I believe that it is. That is why I lysol everything in my home and at work. That is why I keep massive amounts of vitamin c in my home and why I insist that my family keep their hands clean.
Taking this seriously and not taking chances. R.I.P. my friend

i read the article and only have a few things to add. First of all I suppose it could be man made but who cares. It is out there. Children and people are dying from it every day. I do believe that the swine flu is real and not fake. Look at the numbers. the families of the victims will tell you that their loved one is dead.
