Obviously, since biological warfare is illegal internationally, there is monitoring for this and there has been no report of this having been found. The following are opinions on the subject from different WikiAnswers contributors. To add your opinion, please place yours at the next place at the bottom of the group of opinions below.

As far as we know- NO- the most recent Swine Flu pandemic has been traced back to Mexico City where this viral disease ,infecting the upper respiratory tract of pigs, mutated and passed over to humans that were in close contact with the infected animals.

According to the Hague convention rules of warfare, BIOLOGICAL WARFARE IS INTERNATIONALLY recognized as ILLEGAL . In addition, It is considered unchivalrous, inhumane, and unethical. Although, I wouldn't put it past some countries today who have proven they have a total and utter disrespect for human life.

Biological weapons use natural organisms that cause diseases to harm and debilitate the enemy. The two most common examples are the bacteria Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax), which produces a toxin, and smallpox, a highly contagious viral disease, so swine flu meets the criteria of being a capable biological weapon.

(Not to be confused with chemical weapons such as mustard gas and nerve gases.)

We do not know but there are strong reasons for suspicion.

A top scientist for the United Nations concluded that H1N1 possesses certain transmission "vectors" that suggest that the new flu strain has been genetically-manufactured as a military biological warfare weapon.

NSA official Wayne Madsen is convinced that the current outbreak of a new strain of swine flu in Mexico and some parts of the United States is the result of the introduction of a human-engineered pathogen that could result in a widespread global pandemic, with potentially catastrophic consequences for domestic and international travel and commerce. There have also been no cases of A-H1N1 infections of pigs.

Many are increasingly suspicious that these are directed towards Asian populations (citing SARS as one example), with SARS and H5N1 first appearing in Guandong, where the People's Liberation Army have large bioweapons labs. Though it is too early to conclude as yet, these concerns are linked with Global 2000's (backed by the Rockefellers) mandate to diminish the world's population, and this is done through overt and covert means, whilst also maintaining power. Their primary focus is on dramatically reducing the Asian population. There are few privy to this information.

"And advanced forms of biological warfare that can "target" specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool," (Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources, page 60).

This is part of what they euphemistically call the process of 'transformation'. To those less subtle, I will isolate and repeat some words: they are advocating the research, development, and use of advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes. Biological warfare that can target specific genotypes. Target specific genotypes.

This is covert genocide, if successful. At this time, this is an omission of intent. If you cannot understand, as it is stated in black and white in the Project for a New American Century right before outbreaks started and seem to be continuing in new forms, that the evidence of absolute intent to develop and use human-engineered pathogens on a large scale is there, you are missing the subtleties right under your very nose.

No. There is no empirical evidence of this. Testing among swine has indeed shown more than one mutation of Type A H1N1 influenza over the years. And the WHO and CDC and multiple other health and public health entities have determined that the cause was natural mutation like viruses have done for millions of years.

For details of the connection between swine (pigs) and A-H1N1/09 (Pandemic Swine Flu) see the related article below from NewScientist.com.

What would happen if Swine Flu and bird flu mutated into each other Would you get flying pig flu?

Actually, the 2009 Swine Flu (Influenza A, Novel H1N1) is just that, a mutation of the swine flu and bird flu combined that people are able to get now as a human virus. See the answer in the related question section below for a more in depth answer to what caused the 2009 Swine flu. I believe you would get oinking bird flu instead. I think it would be flying pig flu but it would be given a scientific name. :) No the answer is ........ Pink oink flying bird flu! Scientific Names:Oinking Bird Flu -- O1B1F1, Influenza Vocalus Porcinious Aviosoarium Flying Pig Flu -- F1P1F2, Influenza Aerosoarus Porcinium Pink Oink Flying Bird Flu -- O2F2B2F3 (P), Influenza Vocalus Porcinious Aerosoarus Aviosoarium, Pinkii


Has Swine Flu spread to Poland?

Yes, it did during the 2009 pandemic in which people in every country of the world eventually caught the easily transmitted swine flu (H1N1/09). It is still found in spots around the world as of the first of 2012, although it is in small outbreaks and is slowly declining with so many people getting vaccinated.


What is more likely biological warfare or bio terrorists?

Most countries have signed agreements that biological agents will not be used in warfare so biological warfare is unlikely especially given that some of the countries who are big believers in no biowarfare are nuclear capable. Bioterrorism is more likely as people acting independently of government/state can do what they feel fit. Also the word "terrorism" gives a clue as to the objective. The threat of bioterrorism achieves the goal of terrorising even if the terrorists lack the capablility of producing a weapon which would cause serious harm. At present the world is "terrorised" by the threat of a naturally occurring strain of the flu virus the idea of bioterrorism can easily feed off these ideas and create conspiracy theories and terror.


What are the most dangerous biological warfare agents?

The most lethal contagions are no longer WMD's, they are WMC, weapons of mass casualties, that can overtax medical treatment facilities. These include smallpox, Ebola, bird flu, Rift Valley Fever, anthrax, septicemic plague, and Marburg virus (Lake Victoria virus, hemorrhagic fever).
