The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — Pestilence, War, Famine and Death — gallop through the Book of Revelation, and they’ve put in plenty of grim appearances elsewhere. Lately they’ve stabled their mounts in North Korea, where, having starved millions, a grisly dynasty preaches war, while developing not only nukes but diseases as weapons.
North Korea isn’t a country, it’s a death cult.
A recent defector from Kim Jong-un’s nightmare regime had anthrax antibodies in his system. It’s further evidence that, along with nuclear-weapons development and the use of chemical weapons (even on family members), Pyongyang’s less-discussed biological-weapons program — epidemic diseases as weapons of war — continues to sharpen its scythe.
The anthrax resistance in that North Korean’s system came either because he was inoculated as an elite guard near a research facility, or because he’d been exposed to anthrax and built up resistance. Neither possibility is good news.

China needs to pay for this. NK is their fault- for 65 years.
In third world countries, anthrax is also a common livestock pestilence. Without knowing just what strain of anthrax, this might be about as newsworthy as antibodies to dysentery.
Still. Who knows what kind of crazy hell the Suicidal Leader might try on the way out. I sure hope our modern antimissile missiles are better than the Scud-shooting Patriots of Gulf War I fame. Actually I’m surprised if they aren’t better, but we probably don’t have enough to throw one at every crazy test that comes up from North Korea. We got to wait till we see one coming at civilization.
I don’t see a way that karma from this won’t come back to China.
In fact... I could see Trump making moves to move what used to be China production to a new unified Korea, once the Commie menace has been well stomped into the ground.
And symbolically, the historical demarcation line between the new united Koreas might be called the “Otto Warmbier line.” I remember all the junk that was talked about him many moons ago. The bottom line is that it looked like a railroading and there would be no earthly reason in any country, let alone a communist one, he’d want to grab a sign too big to even fit in a backpack. Unless he was coaxed into it (oh Otto! You’re tall! Can you pull that sign down so I can wash the wall? [Oh goody! I get a gummit favor for turning in a dirty dog now.]). Funny how people treated the event like it happened in America with 1000 smartphone cams and witnesses talking freely. Rather than in a communist land where they reveal what they wish, and you say what they want you to say or else.

Perhaps he has the antibodies because he received a vaccination. It would be logical for membes of the military to receive one.
Would this need the strain to be the same as the one that was in the bioweapon? Or would any anthrax vaccine do?

Welcome to TX. It’s like a whole other country.

Maverick County huh.
Not just Maverick County. We also have chronic wasting disease in deer.
I know... they listed a few others. The name Maverick just kind of stuck out at me. I remember the old Bret Maverick shows. “Luck is the lady that he loves the best.”
Chia Pet needs that water to grow baby.
Good ol’ Obamacare-loving Ralphie Peters. I see he’s stirring the NeoCon pot again.
“Would this need the strain to be the same as the one that was in the bioweapon? Or would any anthrax vaccine do?”
A vaccine to any strain would do. The strains used for weapons are naturally occurring.
So it brings us back to the question of how the antibodies got there.
Wouldn’t we think this defector would have just told us? “Oh, they vaccinated me back in whenever.”
Or, “I tended sheep in such and such an area.”

Anthrax is naturally occurring in many places and its not unusual for people to get exposed. In fact there have been a number of positive detections in airborne biothreat detectors deployed in airports in the midwest.
The talk of the Norks developing anthrax weapons became public shortly after the defector was captured. Since testing for anthrax antibodies is not part of a routine blood test or medical exam he may have provided the information which led to the testing.
Google "raccoon roundworm" and you'll find out why NK wants Raccoons. It is a terrible biological weapons agent easily weaponized and highly effective and terrifying. If you get Raccoon Roundworm you better pray to God that it kills you.
