It was the same strain of bacteria that killed folks from New York to Florida which was simultaneous with the mailed anthrax to the Senate. I don't know why I should bother this discussion any longer. The threat of weapons of mass destruction in the aftermath of September 11, 2001 was apparently the only convincing argument for the dems in Congress who voted for the war powers resolution. If you don't think we face a threat from biological warfare, so be it.
Okay, now what about humans. I could care less about the monkeys.
Do you know anything about medical research?
Sure do. And that is the reason we see so many drugs pulled off the market. Hey, monkeys didn't die so humans shouldn't either. Wow. Five people killed in how many years? Oh, 50 or 100? Guess what. Anthrax virus was all supposed to be accounted for. Maybe we should be concerned about how it got out there more than what it could do if it does get out there. Seems a more plausible approach to me. Maybe we should store serum for the Black Plague. Never know when a terrorist will hit us with that.

What do all these cases have in common? None of the individuals had been given anthrax immunizations. What does this say? It means that anthrax isn't as deadly as we are being told. They make it sound like the only way you can survive is by being immunized. These cases show that isn't true. What is true is that veterinarians are immunized because they come in contact with anthrax often. This keeps them from getting sick, not from automatically dying from exposure.
