Hiding China's Bird Flu Outbreak May Lead to Global Catastrophe

Immediately following the terror of the SARS breakout and its mysterious disappearance, another deadly disease appeared on the scene. In 2004 the avian influenza virus attacked poultry farms and wild birds across the Asian countryside.

These two diseases share the same source: China. Their initial disclosures were also similar in that a few brave people revealed the truth to the world despite pressure from Chinese authorities to deny their existence.

These heroes all suffered for their bravery. Dr. Jiang Yanyong, the person who disclosed the SARS breakout, was arrested and put under strict surveillance. Individuals who sent pictures of large amounts of dead, wild birds to the outside world have never been heard from again.
