At times like this I'm glad I was fooled by y2k and bought a British Berkfield water filter and half a dozen jugs of chlorox, and left it all right there in the corner gathering dust.

"I'm not a real doctor, I just play one on the internet..." but...

By the way, doxycycline 200 mg every day is adequate prophylaxis against anthrax and most other common biologicals. Its cheap, safe, and it can be taken chronically without many side effects. (If doxy doesn't stop it as a prophylactic, cipro will, but cipro is not safe for kids.) I'm stocking up on Doxy.

You're a physician IIRC, and can easily get doxycycline. What about the unprivileged grunts? Also is this oral or does it require shots?

Wouldn't it make sense that any biowarfare grade bugs would be engineered to be proof to all known antibiotics, even vancomycin -- so that the protection for the aggressor is a special vaccination related to that strain. That's what I would think. Doxy might be preventative for anthrax, etc. in the wild, but the biowarfare bugs would be another story.

How are you managing that? With script or no script?
