Re: Patent

The patent that is linked to in post #1 is not a patent for swine flu H1N1 vaccine. It is simply a patent of a method for producing any number of viral vaccines. There is no mention of "swine flu" or "H1N1" anywhere in the patent.

Swine flu has been around for a long time, with the first big outbreak in 1918. In 1976, over 20% of the US population was vaccinated against swine flu, and then the vaccination program was halted because of deaths and other complications resulting from the vaccine.

It states

Field Of The Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the method for producing viral vaccines

Which as rickoff said doesnt specifcally deal with just the swine. It has me puzzled none the less, how exactly can a method of production of anything be patented? A machine or object i underatand...but a method?

Rickoff, check paragraph [0056] in the literature starting with H1N1. Your right, it was around in the 70's i just find it a bit strange that 13 days after the patent was granted, the first case of swine flu since the 70's is reported.

Hi Zooty,

Yes, I see that H1N1 is included, along with many other strains, in that paragraph on page 7. I had used the pdf's Search feature to try and find "H1N1," but it came up as a zero. Actually, there is no patent granted on this process - this document is only a patent application publication.

Out of the eight gene segments of the 2009 strain of H1N1, 6 are found to have come from the 1998 triple hybrid swine flu virus of 1998, which was widespread across the US in hogs. This new strain is a quadruple hybrid having one human strain, one bird strain, and two swine strains. Almost sounds like something concocted in a laboratory through gene splicing techniques, doesn't it? But I suppose it is possible for this to occur naturally too. It seems that humans pass it to hogs at one outbreak, and the next time around the hogs give it back. It is said that approximately 75% of all hogs have the virus. Glad I don't work on a hog farm.

Hello Rick, hels-bells you sure have some stamina, I have just been reading some of you reposte on the d-ike pages.
Back to swineflu, here in the uk after massive publicity and scare tactics, things seemed to quieten down, lull before the storm i suppose.
But yester-day some clinical research group threw a spanner in, they recon they have tried over some period of time to get the info to allow them to do a peer review on 'Tamiflu'.
Supprize, supprize, Roche the manuf: stone walled, and the co's supposed indipedent researcher has now stated hedid not keep his researc notes!!
Does this not start to smell. And have not enough people over a long period been trashed by the experts for calling attention to the tami ledgend.
It's been around too long to meet any new strain head on.
And yet our experts here decreed if you think have the flu don't attend the Dr's
phone the Help line (help) everyone with a runny nose got the same advice, collect Tamiflu from the pharmacy. Result big-Big profits for Roche!

Hopefully this research is going to pursue the matter.

Regards, bren.
