Rhiza Labs FluTracker Forum

They may be getting samples to confirm H1N1 or may be doing sequencing also. Many labs can sequence, but for H1N1, WHO regional labs do the most and are usually the quickest.

We just had an article posted that researchers from Poland are in the Ukraine taking samples for study. Does anyone besides the WHO take samples and sequence them? I had the impression quite a few researchers were doing this.

A grad student I trade emails with here in the US (microbiology) was sequencing H1N1 in the University lab from samples they took from sick students back in June. When I asked him why not just grab the WHO sequences and fold them he said quite a few people around the World were doing the same thing.

I'm glad as it eliminates the wack a do theories about bio weapon swine flu and bio weapon vaccine / WHO cover ups. That's why I'm looking for estimates of the number of other hands on persons in the chain of virus and vaccine study / testing - it would be impossible to engage in such a conspiracy as the number of people required to be complicit is impossibly high.

Not that actually trying to understand the basis of something before making allegations about it is part of the W-a-D system.... It gets kind of hard to sell snake oil when people are educated.
