Report of the Origin of Mexican Swine Flu Virus
According to the swine flu timeline put together by a company called
Veratect, who map infectious disease events for clients like the WHO & CDC:
“Residents [of La Gloria, Perote Municipality, Veracruz State, Mexico]
believed the outbreak had been caused by contamination from pig breeding farms located in the area. They believed that the farms, operated by Granjas Carroll, polluted the atmosphere and local water bodies, which in turn led to the disease outbreak. According to residents, the company denied responsibility for the outbreak and attributed the cases to ‘flu.’ However, a municipal health official stated that preliminary investigations indicated that the disease vector was a type of fly that reproduces in pig waste and that the outbreak was linked to the pig farms. It was unclear whether health officials had identified a suspected pathogen responsible for this outbreak.”
Granjas Carroll is a subsidiary of Smithfield Foods. According to the
Smithfield Foods website, Granjas Carroll produced 950,000 hogs in fiscal 2008.
