I notive you conveniently ignored being proven wrong once again when I pointed out that the lead Dugway author of the CDC/Dugway paper has been making coated simulants for years. He has supplied just about every lab in the US with them

I've admitted that I was wrong about that. I've admitted it here and on my web site. It's in the "horse and buggy" analogy.

But that doesn't change the fact that your absurd conspiracy theories are also shown to be wrong.

When it suits your purposes, you claim the silica was glued to the spores with "polymerized glass."

When it suits your purposes, you claim the silica was glued to the spores with "organic resin."

When it suits your purposes, you claim there was some process involved which dipped the spores in liquid nitrogen to get the silica to stick to the spores.

When it suits your purposes, you claim that the silica sticks to the spores from van der Waals forces.

All you really care about is that there MUST be some illegal conspiracy involving the FBI and countless scientists where the sole purpose seems to be to prove you wrong in your beliefs.

I have never claimed that a liquid nitrogen process was used to make the senate spores. I have pointed out with examples that modern inhalational drug processing can create state-of-the-art aerosols with 1% or less fumed silica. Liquid nitrogen processing is not essential - and even it were it would be quite applicable to anthrax spores.

The silica in the Dugway spores ARE stuck there with van der Waals forces - the product isn’t too robust - the silica can fall off. The way around that is to chemically bind the silica to the spores. That would need a binding agent such as polymerized glass. This was also pointed out by Marilyn Thompson’s Detrick source in her book - that scientist eveidently agreed with me that a binding agent was used to attach the silica.
