U.S. Army Pvt . David Lewis' death from an H1N1 swine flu was a harbinger of another global pandemic.

He says a new pandemic influenza virus did emerge in 1977 , but it was not the anticipated swine virus.

The Russian flu virus was actually a strain that had disappeared from the planet a quarter century early , he says.

Fears of a new H1N1 swine flu pandemic in 1976 prompted a worldwide surge in research on viruses and vaccines.

Donald S. Burke : An accidental release of one of these viruses was certainly possible in any of the countries where research was taking place.

Burke: In the global rush to head off a possible new pandemic, accidents could have happened anywhere.

It was a self-fulfilling-prophecy pandemic..
