its all just a way to scare people into spending billions of dollars on tamiflu. very few people have died from swine flu, and those were people already sick or with compramised immune systems. its all a big hoax. i wouldnt be surprised if swine flu did come out of a US labratory accidently/on purpose...

Well, just so you know, those opinions are wrong and dubious. More than a few of the people that have died have been under the age of 30 and otherwise in good health. Read the statistics at WHO and CDC websites.
Second - the real potential of this influenza strain is not yet known. Come this fall when flu season hits the Northern Hemisphere, health officials will have a better idea if this is a real threat, or just another strain of flu that causes typical morbidity and mortality.
Third - no, it did not come "out of a lab". It's the product of very normal influezna antigenic shift and drift. The entire genonme has been sequenced and published.
