SARS stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
SARS was first reported in Asia in February 2003. Over the next few months, the illness spread to more than two dozen countries in Asia, North America, South America, and Europe before the SARS global outbreak of 2003 was contained. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a total of 8098 people worldwide became sick with SARS during the 2003 outbreak; 774 of these died.
After the PRC government suppressed news of the SARS outbreak, the disease spread rapidly, reaching Hong Kong and Vietnam in late February 2003, and then to other countries via international travellers. The last case in this outbreak occurred in June 2003. There were a total of 8437 known cases of the disease, with 813 deaths (a mortality rate of 9.636%).
In May 2005 the disease itself was declared 'eradicated' by the WHO and it became the second disease in mankind to receive this label (the other was smallpox). The New York Times reported that "not a single case of severe acute respiratory syndrome has been reported this year or in late 2004. It is the first winter without a case since the initial outbreak in late 2002. In addition, the epidemic strain of SARS that caused at least 813 deaths worldwide by June of 2003 has not been seen outside a laboratory since then." [1]

You print this info (truth in my opinion) and you'll have everyone stunned.
Bird Flu Hype - The Avian Flu - What They Aren't Telling You Dr. Sherri J. Tenpenny
Learn the "truth" behind the so-called bird flu pandemic! The powers that be used the exact same tactics back in 1976 when President Ford asked every man woman and child to roll up their sleeves and get their shot of protection against the "Swine Flu" hoax! more
'Bird Flu', SARS - Biowarfare or a Pandemic of Propaganda?
The Tamiflu Myth
Bird Flu: Political Reality Versus Mass-Mediated Myths
Media Lying About Bird Flu Human Communicability
"FOWL!" is an investigastive report into how dioxins, POPs and other environment chemicals are contributing to illness in migratory birds, chickens and humans by making them more susceptible to the effects of influenza viruses.
The avian flu scare is just the latest act in an ongoing world government drama. This book is a disclosure about betrayals on many levels. Here are a few of the truths that will be exposed: -Who wants the rural chickens dead? Who benefits from the destruction of the family farm, here and abroad? -What are the real reasons that domestic chickens and ducks are sick? -What is the connection between toxic environmental conditions and the death ofmigratory birds? -Why are human deaths associated with bird flu concentrated in Southeast Asia? -Who benefits from the manufacture of a 'pandemic vaccine'? What's in it? -Why vaccines are not the answer.
Best of health to you.
Cheers
