WASHINGTON — U.S. health officials urged pediatricians yesterday to temporarily stop using one of two vaccines against a leading cause of diarrhea in babies, after discovering that doses of GlaxoSmithKline’s Rotarix were contaminated with bits of an apparently benign pig virus.
Glaxo’s vaccine has been used in millions of children worldwide, including 1 million in the U.S., with no signs of safety problems — and the pig virus is not known to cause any kind of illness in people or animals, said Dr. Margaret Hamburg, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.
But vaccines are supposed to be sterile, and because there is a competing vaccine against diarrhea-causing rotavirus that has tested clean — Merck’s RotaTeq — the FDA decided to err on the side of caution.

It’s quite interesting that Jeffry had made a comment about ‘protein fragments’ on my last comment, and here we are.
This (benign?) pig virus interested me from the beginning. The media has down played the virus, but I went to U.S. government reports on this and they will NOT use the word ‘benign’ to describe it. As a matter of fact they will not give it ANY classification because they admitted Glaxo informed them they didn’t know the significance of it. Of course the U.S. Government will give Glaxo the final say WITHOUT a truly independent investigation.
My question is… can dna / rna fragments from this ‘benign’ pig virus recombine with H1N1 fragments that are floating around in world at the moment, and could that recombination turn into the next so-called pandemic?
I guess we will just have to trust that Glaxo will be straight up honest with us.
