It might appear that our little thread here is being read by some pretty important entities, and that some of our observations and assertions regarding the H3N2v strain and its various uncharacteristic themes may be responsible for the CDC to be attempting to do some backside covering manovers of this whole conundrum.

From what we are reading it seems that we may have hit the nail on the head and some pretty heavy questions are being fired at the CDC from certain unknown quarters, but from someone with enough clout to have the CDC on the hop pretty big time on this one.

If all this is correct, then the contention that has been made here that Patient Zero was "artificially" exposed to a new introduced strain of H3N2v does indeed continue to appear to be correct, which leaves a lot of very serious questions to be addressed.

This saga has more steam left in it yet.

We will continue to watch this story unfold as it has to do with all those obvious questions left hanging.

H3N2v Sequences Refute CDC Swine Exposure Message
Recombinomics Commentary 15:00

Found in U.S. pigs in 2010 and humans in July 2011, this H3N2v virus appears to spread more easily from pigs to people than other variant influenza viruses. Most reported cases to date have occurred in people who are exhibiting or helping to exhibit pigs at fairs this season after close and prolonged contact with pigs. "So far more than 90 percent of cases have occurred in people who are exhibiting or helping to exhibit pigs, or who are family members of these people. That is why our message is so targeted," says Finelli.

The above comments are from the August 31 CDC update on H3N2v and the comment that “this H3N2v virus” appearing first in humans in July 2011 clearly refers to the sub-clade represented by A/Indiana/08/2011, which has an H1N1pdm09 M gene. However, the claim that this sub-clade was found in pigs in 2010 is not supported by any public data, and is unlikely to be supported by any private data. Although the presence of the H1N1pdm09 M gene in H3N2 was found in swine in 2010, those isolates were easily distinguished from the 2011 sub-clade and have never been reported in human cases.
