(Clearwisdom.net) During the outbreak of SARS last year, many doctors and nurses who participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners were infected. These medical personnel once persecuted Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in hospitals by injecting them with powerful and dangerous drugs. After the practitioners began having bad reactions, they would be sent to mental hospitals to suffer further mistreatment. Some of the doctors and nurses even joined the police in verbally abusing practitioners.

According to inside sources, the infected medical staff members were injected with large doses of drugs which, although capable of controlling the symptoms of the SARS, also induced a vegetative state in many patients. Furthermore, Jiang's regime wanted to conceal the truth of SARS, so the state-run media falsely reported numerous recoveries each day to give the public the illusion that the epidemic had been defeated. The tragic condition of many of these so-called "recovered" individuals was not reported. Yet the retribution that these individuals received deeply traumatized all those who knew the truth of their participation in the persecution.

We hope that those who still have not awakened, and those who are still participating in the persecution Falun Gong, will stop committing evil deeds and choose good futures for themselves.

[Editors' Note: In both Western and Chinese culture, the principle of karmic retribution, that is, being held ultimately accountable for one's own actions, is widely accepted. The fundamental teaching of Falun Gong is the characteristic of the universe, "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." The universe will reward actions that are in harmony with this principle, while actions such as beating, torturing and murdering people will incur karmic retribution. Stated another way, good deeds will be rewarded with good, while evildoings will meet due retribution. Articles such as this one are meant as a compassionate reminder of this principle to those who would commit wrongdoing. While many of those who persecute Falun Gong are merely "following orders," the universal law requires that they, too, be held responsible for their actions, and that only by reversing their course of wrongdoing may they escape retribution.]
