Ok, so it's only an opinion. Anyone think there could be any truth to this? Whose laboratories would've concoted this? China? (Is the answer only too obvious?)

If you made a weapon like this; wouldn't you also make a vaccine so you don't take your side out?

Whose laboratories would've concoted this? A university in Quebec. I posted the finding before, but forget what it was. Will look.
Somehow, a French Canadian state makes sense doesn't it?

I doubt it, it is neither contageous or deadly enough to be an efficient bio-weapon. When it comes down to it SARS isn't much more deadly than normal viral pneumonia, and it came from a region where most new cold/flu viruses originate.

Also, measles and mumps are parymixoviruses, They have already identified SARS as a coronavirus with 95% certainty, Therefore I think the guy is full of shit. Who would bioengineer a really bad cold (which is what SARS is) when they they could weaponize smallpox, an outbreak of which would be much much worse.
To: detsaoT
The thought that SARS is man-made has crossed my mind more than once.

First, consider the source. Russian sources are generally
less credible than Debka.
> This can be done only in a laboratory, ...
All of rural China is a lab for creating novel animal-human
and-back-again virii and bacteria. A couple of times a century
we can expect to get a virulent one, a'la 1918 (which was
much more fatal than the present agent).
> ... weapons a protective anti-viral vaccine is, as a

And we'll know that happened if no Party members in China
go missing before SARS burns itself out or is countered by
medications from outside China. (The Chinese internal
population control scenario.)
> ...a medicine for atypical pneumonia may soon appear.
CDC says it might take a year.

Maybe, but lets also consider that SARS is relatively
ineffective as a weapon:
* up to 10 day incubation
* 4% fatality rate (without competent medical care)
* reportedly more severe among Asians.

Haven't paramyxoviruses been found in some of the victims?

If you made a weapon like this; wouldn't you also make a vaccine so you don't take your side out? If it was man made, they might not have had time to develope a vaccine. They might have had a vaccine, but found that it didn't work. SARS might be the result of an experimental vaccine for something entirely different.

As a strategic millitary weapon, agreed. But as a secondary type weapon that saps ecconomic resources and panics a population, it seems to be very effective.

WHAT the hell is this - disinformation or sheer ignorance of the facts?

"Who would bioengineer a really bad cold (which is what SARS is) when they they could weaponize smallpox" What are the possibilities...
- It's naturally occuring (Most probable)
- It's bioengineered as a weapon and intentionally released but is a failure. (Doesn't make sense)
- It's bioengineered as a weapon and intentionally released acting as designed. (Doesn't make sense)
- It's bioengineered as a weapon (A Failure but is accidently released, China would be likely culprit)
- It's bioengineered as a cure, a study, or gene therapy and is accidently released (China again for accidental releases)
- It's bioengineered by a laboratory looking to get rich off the sale of the vaccine. (Perfect for that, could be anybody including US firms)
