Can you point me to the source for this claim? "The dissertation noted that all four of the miners who were tested for SARS antibodies had them in their blood a few weeks after they became ill."

From the thesis: "Guo and Liu did test for etiology (swabs and blood) for SARS-CoV, hemorrhagic fever, Dengue fever, Japanese encephalitis, Influenza A virus and other related virus by Chen Du army reserved Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the result were all negative"

I think your thoughtful article is clear in discussing possibilities based on current data, and is not making definitive conclusions about etiology. Most important are the questions you raise about how research on potential zoonotic pathogens should be conducted going forward.

Must say, “iatrogenic” is a real two-dollar word.
