German E. Coli Outbreak

**Fisherking** · 06-03-2011, 18:37

Dose anyone find it odd that the first known hemorrhagic E. Coli outbreak seems to be a recombinant form of two E. Coli strains, one from central Africa?

As European farmers are not in the habit of importing Central African cow flops for fertilizer how would it show up?

That it has shown up as a particularly virulent strain which is highly drug resistant also raises questions.

Bacteria may mutate but normally they need to be in the same proximity to do so.

The illness has not been traced to a source. Not a single source, but a source.

Could it have been broadcast some how?

These bacterium are the microbial equivalent of lab rats.

Is this like the anthrax outbreak in the US in 2001?

Could it be the same people?

Dose anyone else find this sort of thing a bit suspicious?

Too early to tell, but those are definitely questions that need answers; of which I'm sure someone in Germany/EU/NATO is trying to figure out, just don't want to cause a panic if it turns out to be something more benign.

Few deaths among hundreds of sick not that bad

a secret nazi bio-weapon stash is exposed accidentally maybe?

I agree with Fisherking's line of questioning in the OP. This seems too well designed a bacteria to be a random mutation. I guess Iran is taking full advantage of the distractions in Libya, Yemen & Syria.

But if you dont tell people you did wat use is it???? if you ask me nature is well capable of designing perfect diseases itself.

How much do you know about bacteria to come to that conclusion, not that it isn't possible but please can we get beyond the 'jews poisened the wells'. There is evidence where? And for what really, normal flue kills thousands each year every time

No, the human and bovine intestine are the most probable labs. E. coli settles and breeds in the gut of man and cattle. Their manure can contaminate seeds and beans and convey the bacteria to any spot around the world where these are grown and/or consumed. Mother nature is a serial killer, something we tend to forget in an age that diefies nature and its supposed harmoniousness.

P.S. Papewaio is right, evolution is the key to everything we know and experience in this life, including disease
