The anthrax in the letters was not "raw spores."

Are you admitting Beecher's paper is BS?

No, I am saying you are BS-ing everyone.

Beecher's article never used the term "raw spores." What are "raw spores?"

Beecher said,

Purification of spores may exacerbate their dissemination to some extent by removing adhesive contaminants and maximizing spore concentration. However, even in a crude state, dried microbial agents have been long considered especially hazardous. Experiments mimicking laboratory accidents have demonstrated that simply breaking vials of lyophilized bacterial cultures creates concentrated and persistent aerosols.

And ..

In essence, even if most of a spore powder is bound in relatively few large particles, some fraction is composed of particles that are precisely in the size range that is most hazardous for transmission of disease by inhalation.
