(I know of no way to study how to fight such weapons without also knowing how to develop such weapons. Obviously, if you don't know how to create nasty strains, how can you possibly test to see if your treatment will work? these same groups slam the anthrax vaccine saying it was untested, yet they seem to go out of their way to make sure it can't be tested with protests such as these.)
Anyway, the students made such a stink over it - I think this was in the early nineties- that the researcher decided not to renew the grant, and from that time on Nass was proclaimed an 'expert' although she has yet to obtain any credentials to back up the image, as far as I can tell. She is now reaping credentials from the 'crisis,' and from the Gulf War Syndrome hysteria which are not proof of knowledge or accomplishments so much as a list of interviews. Like the 'General' the cable news networks used in interviews who turned out to be a nobody, all it takes to get 'expert' status is to sucker at least one mainline news show or paper into citing you. She has since supposedly been called to testify at a Courts Martial and all over the place... if I knew this was all it takes to become an 'expert' I could have been a talking head too by just feeding people what they want to hear. Good grief.
