Recombinomics has stated that a paper published by the National Institute of Health has reported the presence of similar binding receptors in swine flu samples from Brazil, Ukraine and Norway.
Although WHO stated that this change was "not significant" in the Ukraine samples, it was associated with the fatal cases and is cause for concern. The concern was increased by the announcement from Norway indicating the same change was found in fatal H1N1 lung infections there also.
Some have commented that this change was spontaneous and diid not spread, although this change was found in all four deceased patients in Ukraine from two distinct locations -- meaning they did indeed spread. What is serious, though, is what this means for the spread of the pandemic.
The concept of acquisition via recombination has serious implications for the current pandemic. It was used to predict the D225G change, in part because the change was "in play" and appearing in July/August sequences at increasing frequency, even though the H1N1 sequences represented different genetic backgrounds. Similarly the clusters of Tamiflu resistance in Wales and North Carolina are also driven by recombination, as happened when the identical change was acquired in H1N1 seasonal flu in patients who were not taking Tamiflu (oseltamivir).
These changes to the swine flu virus are making it resistant to Tamiflu, the best medicine to fight this kind of viral infection.

We will carefully watch this for further developments.

US Government-sponsored genetic sleuthing to find and then recreate it by Dr. J. K. Taubenberger and associates and now just happens, HAPPENS, mind you, to show up in the brand new, never before seen “Novel” A/2009/H1N1 virus. http://beforeitsnews.com/story/0000000000000552. WOW! Somebody thinks we are collectively dumber than the dumbest rock. I, for one, take personal offense that anyone would believe that we are that dumb. Come on! Rocks aren’t that dumb! http://beforeitsnews.com/story/0000000000000552 Dr. Rima; This closes the circle on the X Org. remember the plagues in Europe In the last millennium, I have long suspected the circumstances were to convenient for the powers that did be, any time a population “gets out of control”, progressing technically and financially too fast and the bankers losing their grip on the cash flow, they unleash a plague in order to reduce that population in number and cognizant memory of the many progressions, allowing a recovery of control. This is difficult to believe, that any human would consider such measures but there are many precedents some are obscured in time and poorly recorded history, some are recorded in the Old Testament Abraham and his descendants worked exactly this horror on the nations of Egypt and Babylon . As the Judeans invaded people after nation each entered a dark age, so many died the evidence is scarce and scary. That land north of the mountains became known as “Europe” a translation is required, “Europe” is GreekHebrew for “eyes wide open” , in Genesis 3 these words are spoken by Satan as he seduces EVE, the exact meaning is “you will learn not to believe Satan.” The trail is not thin nor difficult to read when you know what to look for. Damn the Levites. The greedy ones see too many people on the planet. Milton BabbPosted by Ralph Fucetola JD on Tuesday, November 24, 2009
