The 2009 pandemic strain is milder than the seasonal flu; the most authoritative evidence on flu vaccines is that they are ineffective, and could have a range of adverse side- effects arising from production contaminants and adjuvants; the live attenuated vaccine intended as a nasal spray for children is genetically unstable and risk generating a more dangerous pandemic virus if mass vaccinations are to proceed Dr. Mae-Wan Ho and Prof. Joe Cummins

The pandemic virus created as a faulty vaccine in the lab?
We have a swine flu pandemic, and the burning question for everyone, especially those with young children, is to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?
So what is this pandemic swine flu? It is caused by a completely new H1N1 flu virus that has a combination of genes from bird, human and swine flu viruses from North America and Eurasia [1] that appeared suddenly out of nowhere (see Fig. 1).
Figure 1. Reconstructed origin of the 2009 pandemic flu virus [2]
The flu virus is very complicated. It is a RNA virus with 8 gene segments and different strains can exchange gene segments by a process called reassortment. This is also why flu virus can change much faster than other viruses with only one continuous genome. The history of reassortment events can be reconstructed by comparing the base sequences of different strains. The 2009 pandemic strain involves intermediate steps that are not so easy to go undetected, given that there is routine surveillance of flu strains and quarantine on live animals moving between countries, let alone continents.
Some people are convinced the virus has been created in the lab as a conspiracy to depopulate the planet. Some blame the intensive livestock industry [3], which indeed could have contributed. The most plausible theory so far, is perhaps one due to virologist Adrian Gibbs, that it came from a faulty ‘multivalent’ vaccine containing several viruses created in the lab and given to pigs in America [4] (Swine Flu Virus Created from Pig Vaccine? SiS 44)..
Swine flu pandemic so far
The virus thus created has spread rapidly by human to human contact after the initial outbreak in Mexico around March or earlier in 2009 [5]. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a pandemic in June. As of 10 September 2009, there are 337 197 lab confirmed cases and 3 559 deaths, giving a case-mortality rate of 1.1 percent. Of course, this is much higher than the actual death rate of the viral infection, because most infections are very mild. The lab confirmed cases are those that require hospital treatment, and deaths occur mainly among persons that had underlying conditions such as asthma, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, or a weakened immune system. For comparison, WHO estimates (also quite unreliable) that annual seasonal flu infects 5 to 15 percent of the population, with death-rate <0.05 percent, resulting in 250 000-500 000 deaths worldwide.
So everyone acknowledges that this is a very mild strain, even compared to the seasonal flu; but since WHO declared the pandemic, there has been pandemonium [6] (Fast-tracked Swine Flu Vaccine under Fire, SiS 43).
