"We discuss a published suggestion that unsampled pig herds, the intercontinental live pig trade, together with porous quarantine barriers, generated the reassortant. We contrast that suggestion with the possibility that laboratory errors involving the sharing of virus isolates and cultured cells, or perhaps vaccine production, may have been involved. "

Where does ANY of this say that swine flu originated in a laboratory? All this does is raise an alternate possibility. Do you work for the National Enquirer or the Weekly World News?
