CDC In State of Denial Regarding trH3N2 Human Transmission
CDC has confirmed the fifth case of human infection with a swine–origin influenza A (H3N2) virus that carries the M gene from the 2009 H1N1 virus. This virus was first detected in a child in Indiana in July. Subsequently three additional cases of human infection with swine–origin influenza A (H3N2) viruses carrying the same genetic change were detected in Pennsylvania. Though rare, human infections with swine–origin influenza viruses can occur, usually after close contact with infected swine.
While we know the M gene plays a role in influenza virus infection, assembly and replication, the significance of this change in these swine–origin influenza A (H3N2) viruses is unknown at this time. CDC continues to investigate the implications of this genetic change.
The above comments are from the latest “have you heard” put out by the CDC. The statements represent an agency in the state of denial with regard to the human transmission of trH3N2. They confuse reported trH3N2 with actual trH3N2 infections. The association with swine is directly linked to the CDC trH3N2 testing which is largely limited cases with some kind of pseudo-link to swine.
The report acknowledges that the 5 trH3N2 in 2011 all involve the same trH3N2 virus which has an M gene from pandemic H1N1, but ignores the data indicating the M gene of pandemic H1N1 is critical for human transmission.
The CDC has yet to provide any direct evidence for human trH3N2 infections from swine in 2011. The first case (from Indiana) has no known swine contact, and the CDC has acknowledged likely human to human transmission, which has also been acknowledged for the two most recent 2010 trH3N2 cases (father and daughter from Minnesota represent by A/Minnesota/11/2010 isolated from the father).

+1no not from government anywayreply - Rocky 2011/10/23 21:17:31+1I firmly believe that there are no truth sayers in Washington D.C. not from either side of the aisle.All of them are involved in the mish mash mess they have us in at present.reply
