They did not mention the fresh samples I sent to the World Animal Health Lab that produced three more positives. One of the government scientists said these positive results defied logic.

This seems an odd comment. We are not dealing with logic here, we are dealing with an aggressive influenza-type virus.

Why would government jump out and deny evidence of ISA virus in BC? If the samples were poor wouldn’t it make sense to go back to the places where the positive tested fish came from and take their own samples? How can we take any confidence when government says everything is fine because the virus was found in poor quality samples?

Also of note is the salmon farming industry’s repeated assertion that when ISA virus spread throughout Chile it did not kill the farmed coho and therefore our coho are going to be resistant.
