An Australian researcher is convinced that the new variation of the AH1N1 virus could have taken place during a mistake in the research process inside a laboratory. Adrian Gibbs, a 75 year old scientist from Australia National University has been one of the first to analyze the virus that is affecting Mexico and the rest of the world. His theory is just one of many that have signaled the pandemic as a result of government interests, international pressure or hidden economic benefits that could have generated it.
Gibbs mentions that it “could have been a mistake during the production of the vaccine or the virus could have passed from a pig to another mammal, or a bird before it reached humans.”(Bloomberg)
The World Health Organization (WHO) is researching Gibbs’ theory but in the meantime, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has ruled out this hypothesis since they have not been able to follow the path of the virus to South America and Africa where the mutation could have taken place due to natural causes.
Finally the WHO will wait for further and more conclusive evidence that the virus could have actually been generated in a lab before they accept this argument. Even though, there is one thing clear, the worldwide reaction to the pandemics is uncertain because of mixed information and possible private struggles between power groups that could have provoked the crisis.

ReplyDeleteCreo que es muy posible que sea cierta la teoría de que esta epidemia se haya desencadenado con fines económicos y políticos debido a la reciente crisis mundial de la cual aun no hemos podido salir adelante; ya que con ello se ha dejado un poco a un lado los efectos de la crisis. En los últimos días de lo único que se ha hablado es de el virus de la influenza y con esto se le ha dejado de poner atención a las secuelas que dejo la crisis económica. Con esto los problemas económicos de los países ya no serian atribuidos sólo a la crisis si no también a la influenza.
Con base en esto si podría ser posible que esta epidemia haya sido impulsada con fines económicos, tanto para darle un respiro a las presiones económicas como para beneficiar algunos sectores como el farmacéutico. Algunos efectos económicos que ha tenido primordialmente en México son pérdidas en las industrias restaurantera y de entretenimiento, lo cual genera un poco de contradiccion ya que si lo que se buscaba era dejar descansar a las economias, lo que se ha generado es otro posible desequilibrio economico .
yes indeed
