While it appears this "mistake" involved a different strain, it happened only 8 weeks ago...

People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.

Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could have resulted in dire consequences.

So contrary to your assurance that this swine virus in Mexico could not have been mixed in a lab, it appears that this does and has happened even very recently.

It was a only a few steps away from being deployed to population.

And this occurred just a few weeks before this Mexico outbreak. Perhaps it's just a coincidence, but there could be a company out there whose "mistakes" didn't get caught and their "vaccines" were successfully deployed in Mexico a few weeks ago.

It's completely possible and plausible. I'm not ruling out natural causes either, however, as that would be foolish. Likewise, it would be just as foolish to rule out man-made strains.

As to whether it's an "accident"? I have no clue.
