Again if only you could give us some evidence exposing that the SARS was a biological attack on China by the US.
I have a question for you. Am i on your ignored list also? Just curious.

There are several articles on the specificity of SARS with Chinese origin. You can easily see that pattern on the affected population of SARS. From analyzing the genome of SARS virus, one can be sure that it is a natural mutation from other virus. It is a blend of several kinds of virus. We are certain it is man-made. The creator of the virus is too easy to find out through reasoning. The US media knew the lethality of SARS, they were quite confident that China did not have the ability of contain SARS. They later selected the famed and infamous doctor. I despise those Chinese that sold their heart to West and allow themselves to be used as a tool against China by the West or TI.

My ignored list has FredT, WestPoint23, and ludahai. FredT and WestPoint23 are added because the impossibility to reason with them, and the nonsense they keep repeating. ludahai is added, because he is a diehard TI, like some Nazi members the answer only lies in battlefield.

All i ask is for you to give us links to the articles of what you are talking about because this accusation is really just an accusation after all. There is no evidence to support your accusation. Take the flu virus for example, they mutate constantly every year, and the genome of it is surely alien, no scientists are sure where they come from. That is also the reason why us in the US have to have a shot each year.
I would guess that who ever wrote those articles know very little about biology. I think the pattern of infection extends around the world too, not just on Chinese. There were a dozen cases in the US at the beginning in which those infected were not Chinese nor Asian, but instead Caucasians, I would think that if this virus were ever man-made, the creator would clearly put "make-virus-for-Chinese-only-not-Caucasians" on his list, don't you think so? I am not sure if some Chinese in the rural part of the country ate some wild animals and contracted the virus from them. Chinese will eat everything they find. The AIDS virus was first contracted from a monkey in Africa.

Following is one article about the SARS targeting a particular HLA allele of Chinese origin. The abstrate is quoted:

Association of HLA class I with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection.

BACKGROUND: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is widely used as a strategy in the search for the etiology of infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. During the Taiwan epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), many health care workers were infected. In an effort to establish a screening program for high risk personal, the distribution of HLA class I and II alleles in case and control groups was examined for the presence of an association to a genetic susceptibly or resistance to SARS coronavirus infection. METHODS: HLA-class I and II allele typing by PCR-SSOP was performed on 37 cases of probable SARS, 28 fever patients excluded later as probable SARS, and 101 non-infected health care workers who were exposed or possibly exposed to SARS coronavirus. An additional control set of 190 normal healthy unrelated Taiwanese was also used in the analysis. RESULTS: Woolf and Haldane Odds ratio (OR) and corrected P-value (Pc) obtained from two tails Fisher exact test were used to show susceptibility of HLA class I or class II alleles with coronavirus infection. At first, when analyzing infected SARS patients and high risk health care workers groups, HLA-B*4601 (OR = 2.08, P = 0.04, Pc = n.s.) and HLA-B*5401 (OR = 5.44, P = 0.02, Pc = n.s.) appeared as the most probable elements that may be favoring SARS coronavirus infection. After selecting only a "severe cases" patient group from the infected "probable SARS" patient group and comparing them with the high risk health care workers group, the severity of SARS was shown to be significantly associated with HLA-B*4601 (P = 0.0008 or Pc = 0.0279). CONCLUSIONS: Densely populated regions with genetically related southern Asian populations appear to be more affected by the spreading of SARS infection. Up until recently, no probable SARS patients were reported among Taiwan indigenous peoples who are genetically distinct from the Taiwanese general population, have no HLA-B* 4601 and have high frequency of HLA-B* 1301. While increase of HLA-B* 4601 allele frequency was observed in the "Probable SARS infected" patient group, a further significant increase of the allele was seen in the "Severe cases" patient group. These results appeared to indicate association of HLA-B* 4601 with the severity of SARS infection in Asian populations. Independent studies are needed to test these results.

When you list those highly affected areas like Hong Kong, Toronto, Singapore, Vietnam, China, you can easily see the pattern.

I would guess that who ever wrote those articles know very little about biology. I think the pattern of infection extends around the world too, not just on Chinese. There were a dozen cases in the US at the beginning in which those infected were not Chinese nor Asian, but instead Caucasians, I would think that if this virus were ever man-made, the creator would clearly put "make-virus-for-Chinese-only-not-Caucasians" on his list, don't you think so?

Yes, many not of Chinese origin were affected as well, but the sympton was only a mild cold. The some Caucasians gene may have some similarity with Chinese, considering the fact that Mongols migrated to the West long time ago.

In case of Flu virus occuring every year, although it is not possible to predict the next prevalent mutation of the virus. The original strain of the mutation can be easily found be comparing their Genome. Natural mutations will differ only one or two places from the original Strain. Currently technology allow different combination and insertion of specific gene into the virus. SARS is similar to several strain of Coronavirus, but it is almost completely different from anyone. It can only be resulted from a mand-made cocktail.

I am not sure if some Chinese in the rural part of the country ate some wild animals and contracted the virus from them. Chinese will eat everything they find. The AIDS virus was first contracted from a monkey in Africa.

It is just a excuse of the West to blame China and villify China. One good outcome from this bio-attack is that Chinese government now understands the viciousness of US to disrupt China at any cost. China is now building a BSL 4 lab now to prepare. China did not have one before SARS attack, while US has about a dozen since a long time ago.

In retrospect, the 97 outbreak in Hong Kong was very likely a failed attack initiated by UK/US to disrupt the Handover.

zcheng, the health conditions in China are the cause of the SARS. Remember the bubonic plague which happend in Europe because of overpopulation and unsanitary conditions. Although this happend on a smaller scale, it was esentially natures way of saying, "stop taking up my resources."

I know bubonic plague, I also know 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. US and many western countries are actively researching and reviving the virus in name of finding cure. They will convenient release a variation of it in convenient time.

"Overpopulation and unsanitary conditions" is the reason the West Media wanted the World remember. You can believe it. I do not. Although many animal sources were suggested, no conclusive origin is found. With the virus, even one person can initiate the attack, for example releasing them domestic animals in clouded market.

And do you have proof of even which organization released this so called "attack" of SARS. If so how, when, where, and I have already addressed whom. What motive would the West have? What is the gain for the west? Who are the losers in your hypothetical germ warfare game.

The motivation is so obvious, if you have any brain. As I said, even one person can initiate the attack with the virus in a small vial. Do you think China can track all foreigners in China?

Yes anyone can make an attack. Give a girl scout a pack of SARS and even she can launch a massive worldwide germ war. My question was why would anyone do such a thing, and you still dont even have an answer for an agency.

Zcheng, you are just ever so wrong of this topic. Here are a few facts of the outbreak made by the WHO
(source:www.wpro.who.int... )
(And especially this one from your OWN Chinese government: www.wpro.who.int...)

* The National Institute of Virology in Beijing was the most likely source of the outbreak.
* At least four individuals may have been infected with SARS at the Institute. These include the two laboratory workers reported in April, and two additional laboratory workers. These two additional laboratory workers appear to have suffered from SARS-like illnesses in early February 2004. Recent laboratory tests performed at a national reference laboratory were positive for SARS antibodies.
* The use of inactivated SARS coronavirus, which was not tested to determine the effectiveness of the inactivation, in a general laboratory at the Institute appears the most likely cause of the outbreak.

During the investigation, it became apparent that all the positive laboratory workers worked in the same general laboratory at the Institute. Although no research involving live SARS viruses was known to have taken place in this laboratory, SARS coronavirus that had been inactivated in a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory in the Institute was used on several occasions during the early months of 2004 in experiments carried out in this area. The timing of the use of inactivated SARS coronavirus in the general laboratory coincides with the presence there of all the positive workers and with their likely incubation periods.

To read the full article, just follow the link. I believe WHO is a non-profit organization setup the the United Nations.

According to this article, the SARS virus was in the hand of Chinese officials for a long time for reasearch purpose. For some reasons, the virus escaped from the lab and infected workers. As quoted:

SARS coronavirus that had been inactivated in a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory in the Institute was used on several occasions during the early months of 2004 in experiments carried out in this area.

This is quoted from the Chinese Health Misnistry report:

Possible cause of laboratory contamination:
Incomplete inactivation of the virus. After the 2004 Chinese Spring Festival, Ren took the "inactivated virus", without strict verification of the inactivation process used, from the BSL-3 laboratory into a regular laboratory for experiments. This coincided with Song and Yang's onsets of disease. The inactivation method was not evaluated effectively. Assessment of effectiveness and quality control procedures were not conducted for each batch of the inactivated viruses.

The investigation concluded that the SARS outbreak originated from laboratory contamination. This was due to poor safety management of laboratories, flawed implementation of regulations, and violation of biosafety rules by laboratory workers.

The truth is there to be known as i believe this is very legitimate source. I am not sure about yours. Again provide us the link to the article.

Uh Oh, looks like the only government spreading SARS around is the Chinese Communist Party. Zcheng, the above post provides sources for the outbreak, it is more credible than what the PLA tells you after it knocks on your door with a gun.
