It was suggested that the red hands were a result of bleach on his hands.
I’m not sure a latex allergy would be so localized. Anyone with such an allergy, please advise.
For you newbies out there....AQ did it, using the mail to steal a totally unique mutant of genotype 62. No where has this been found except for the envelopes.
Five days after Bob Stevens died, ISU destroyed the historical collection kept in the vet school.
ZacandPook is right that Epstein has done some good work. He also has a suspicious mind.
“No where has this been found except for the envelopes.”
Wasn’t a mixed genotype used by the Navy Medical Research Center, in its mice vaccine challenge studies, as reported in the proceedings of the 4th conference on anthrax (the meeting was in Annapolis in June 2001).
You’ll recall that Dr. Knudson sent the ISU professor the mailing label that I uploaded. It had the NRMC fax number for the lab there.
It involves development of a DNA vaccine involving a mutated plasmid. I describe it in the thread with “Alibek” in the title a day or two ago.
There is no evidence that historical collection had Ames. USDA lab magager’s Thomas Bunn is quoted at the time saying it didn’t.
I have a suspicious mind which is why I called all the professors involved in the destruction and contacted the USDA.
I came away with no citable evidence that any Ames was destroyed. Instead, the historical strains involved 5 or 6 strains from locals cows. Bessie, Angie, Coral, Monroe, and Clarabelle.
Folks talking about the destruction of the ISU inventory routinely fail to distinguish between ISU and the USDA lab.
Question: Did the USDA lab assist the UNMC in the vaccine research I mention? Was Dr. Bunn previously at USAMRIID doing vaccine research at the time Dr. Knudson was at USAMRIID doing vaccine research? Is that why Dr. Knudson routed the request to USDA Iowa? If a mutated strain was used in developing the UNMC strain with the mutated plasmid, and there was an Iowa destruction that was countenanced by USAMRIID (which was advising the FBI), now that would be very notable.
I just did. I have a sensitivity to latex. I can use deproteinised latex gloves but not cheaper latex. The reaction is localized but I am at risk for a full blown systemic reaction if I do not watch exposure.
