Le SRAS (pneumonie atypique) a peut-être
été créé en laboratoire
MOSCOU (Reuters) - Le Syndrôme respiratoire aigu sévère (SRAS), qui a tué plus d'une centaine de personnes dans le monde, est peut-être une création humaine, à l'instar d'une arme biologique, selon un expert en médecine russe cité vendredi par l'agence Ria Novosti.
Pour Sergueï Kolesnikov, de l'Académie des sciences médicales russe, la maladie semble combiner la rougeole et les oreillons, synthèse qui ne peut être réalisée qu'en laboratoire.
Le SRAS, apparu en novembre dernier dans le sud de la Chine, a fait plus de 110 morts et plus de 3.000 personnes en sont atteintes à travers le monde.
L'épidémie pourrait avoir été provoquée par une fuite dans un laboratoire d'armements biologiques, estime Kolesnikov, qui est également député à la Douma, la chambre basse du Parlement russe. Les laboratoires de ce type fabriquent généralement des vaccins en même temps que des armes biologiques ; un antidote devrait donc être trouvé prochainement, ajoute-t-il.

Medical Experts Speak Out
SARS Virus Could Be Man-Made and Possibly a Bio-Weapon
This was the breaking news late yesterday. News 24 was reporting that top Russian medical experts were lining up to express concern about the virus. A brief excerpt:
Nikolai Filatov, head of Moscow's epidemiological services, told the Gazeta daily that he thought the pneumonia was man-made because "there is no vaccine for this virus, its make-up is unclear, it has not been very widespread and the population is not immune to it." * * *
The virus, according to academy of medecine member Sergei Kolesnikov, is a cocktail of mumps and measles, whose mix could never appear in nature. * * *
"We can only get that in a laboratory," he told a conference in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, quoted by RIA Novosti news agency.
It may have spread because of an "accidental leak" from a lab, he added. * * *
Another
top level Russian scientist expressed similar views today. Dr. Sergei Kolesnikov,
Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences was quoted in En Rian.ru
that he believed the virus of atypical pneumonia has been created artificially
in a laboratory "possibly as a bacteriological weapon." He stated
his opinion in that regard in news conference in Irkutsk (Siberia) on Thursday.
* * * the virus
of atypical pneumonia is a synthesis of two viruses (of measles and infectious
parotiditis or mumps), the natural compound of which is impossible. This can
be done only in a laboratory, the academician is convinced. He also said that
in creating bacteriological weapons a protective anti-viral vaccine is, as a
rule, worked out at the same time. Therefore, the scientist believes, a medicine
for atypical pneumonia may soon appear. He does not exclude that the spread
of the virus could have begun accidentally, as a result of "an unsanctioned
leakage" from a laboratory. * * *
Dr. Kolesnikov is a famous
scientist with international standing. He served as a former co-President of
the IPPNW and as member of the Russian Duma. He has published many international
scientific papers. A brief biography may be found here.
ABC News.au had a nearly identical report up on its web site today. They are
reporting that the SARS "Mystery Virus" may well be a Chinese bio-weapon
that accidently escaped the laboratory.
NewsPundit is following the lead of the Russians :
I have been biting my tongue for the last week and trying to quiet the bio-weapon rumors that have been floating around. But now I believe the "cat has been let out of the bag." All of the evidence is pointing to a man-made virus. Russian medical science may be years ahead of the U.S., U.K. in its experience with such things. So I reluctantly follow their lead.
The Chinese have a lot of
explaining to do. The virus is now "out there" . . . just like the
"Truth is Out There ...." One thing they can explain: Was this a test
of the World Heath Organization, or how quickly the U.S. is capable of reacting
to a bio-weapon ?

Sars biological weapon ?
Moscow - The deadly pneumonia that has killed more than 100 people around the world may be a man-made biological weapon, Russian experts said on Friday.
Nikolai Filatov, head of Moscow's epidemiological services, told the Gazeta daily that he thought the pneumonia was man-made because "there is no vaccine for this virus, its make-up is unclear, it has not been very widespread and the population is not immune to it."
Yet he had some reservations, since the virus has a low mortality rate - so far killing 4% of those infected -, and because it is relatively difficult to pass on - through direct contact or inhalation.
The virus, according to academy of medecine member Sergei Kolesnikov, is a cocktail of mumps and measles, whose mix could never appear in nature.
"We can only get that in a laboratory," he told a conference in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, quoted by RIA Novosti news agency.
It may have spread because of an "accidental leak" from a lab, he added.
More than 100 people have died and some 3 000 others have been infected by Severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars), which is believed to have originated in China's southern Guangdong province.
