The World Health Organization is investigating a claim by an Australian researcher that the #swineflu virus may have been created as a result of human error, says researcher Adrian Gibbs, based on its genetic makeup.
He said he intends to publish a report suggesting the new strain may have accidentally evolved in eggs scientists use to grow viruses and drugmakers use to make vaccines.
