Anthrax vaccinations

[Jan Klimkowski]

David - thanks for that further information.

I know you spoke directly with some very senior political figures and some very prominent reporters and editors. All of whom ended up refusing to publish the story - most probably because they were warned off.

The fact that individuals involved in the recovery and isolation of the plane dropping the CBW payload became ill with a GWS-type illness, with some of them subsequently dying, suggests that the claim that the biological agent had a 48-hour lifespan was wrong.

Indeed, at the scientific level, I really doubt the 48-hour claim. It is precisely because biological agents have the ability to survive and propagate once released into the environment that nations have - at least officially - agreed not to use them.

Here's a partial list of known biological weapons:

Diseases considered for weaponization, or known to be weaponized include anthrax , ebola, Marburg virus, plague , cholera , tularemia, brucellosis, Q fever, machupo, Coccidioides mycosis , Glanders, Melioidosis, Shigella, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, typhus , Psittacosis, yellow fever , Japanese B encephalitis , Rift Valley fever, and smallpox [18]. Naturally-occurring toxins that can be used as weapons include ricin, SEB, botulism toxin, saxitoxin, and many mycotoxins.

Not a single one of these disease agents has a lifespan limited to 48 hours.

So, to clarify, I'm not doubting your story. Quite the opposite - I consider it powerful and compelling.

I am doubting the claim made by sources that the biological agent had a 48-hour lifespan because I suspect the lifespan would have been much longer, and the agent far more persistent. It is precisely this longer and entirely unpredictable and uncontrollable lifespan that makes use of biological weapons so truly insane.
