oh now it's Pizza?you said Ham earlier.make up your mind woman!

i believe i was something created in a test tube in a lab some where on purpose i have been watching some vids etc. they say a pigs immune system is pretty much indestructible and that this strand is very fishy because it mutates so fast like something not natural.
i hear you arent going to catch it from eating pork but from contact with humans and through the air.

i KNEW this was coming

are there ANY modern deadly viruses that conspiracy theorists don't try to pass off as being created in a lab...?

There's nothing fishy here. We were due for one. It's been around for awhile too. It mutates just like all of the other viruses.

Swine Flu in Humans

The first isolation of a swine flu virus from a human occurred in 1974, confirming a long held suspicion that swine flu viruses could infect humans. A 2007 review article on this topic presented data from 50 cases reported in the medical literature and offered several salient points regarding human cases:

CDC reports the receipt of approximately 1 human swine flu case report every 1 to 2 years (swine flu has been a nationally reportable condition since 2007). Since 2005, 12 cases have been reported in the U.S., most with exposure to pigs.

The Fort Dix Incident

The most widely known incident of swine flu in humans centers around an outbreak of a lethal influenza virus at Fort Dix in New Jersey in 1976. During that outbreak, 13 solders had severe respiratory illness, and 1 soldier died. A novel H1N1 swine influenza virus (Hsw1N1) was isolated, and approximately 230 other soldiers displayed evidence of infection. The virus did not spread outside Fort Dix, no swine exposure was ever elucidated, and swine were never definitively established as the source. The incident prompted a massive vaccination campaign that was plagued with problems.

1918 and the Swine Flu

The current swine influenza strains circulating in pigs worldwide include H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2. In the U.S., one of the sub-types of the H1N1 virus has been circulating since the early 20th century. Recent research has shown that this virus was likely seeded into the swine population from humans during the 1918 influenza pandemic and is a derivative of the 1918 pandemic strain—illustrating that interspecies transmission of the 1918 virus was from humans to pigs, not pigs to human
