Second, despite pervasive and demonstrable natural selection among these viruses, the 1918 version of the human H1N1 virus went extinct, twice, at the appearance of a competing strain, apparently due to a lack of robustness caused by mutation accumulation. The first time was in 1957 when a competing serotype appeared. After an accidental reintroduction of human H1N1 in 1976, the second extinction occurred when a recombined version of the swine H1N1 appeared in humans, and after more than 10% of the human H1N1 genome had ‘rusted away’.

What does this prove?

It proves, not that all organisms indistinctly have genetic entropy, but that H1N1 has entropy in humans.

Why this observation on the implication?

Because the new strains outcompeting them from swine had not suffered as much entropy.

Why would H1N1 suffer more entropy in humans? Immune systems. European races have for centuries been selected for strong immune systems (this backfires with unusual levels of allergy, I think), and this means, un-mutated viruses have less of a chance in immune systems that have already been exposed.

The virus every time it attacks the same host needs a new mutation to slip through, and this means, the more robust viruses that are not mutated are selected against by human immune systems. This means, every virus is likely to get weaker and weaker, at least except those that never leave the host.
