[history]
November 23, 2001 -- The twin mysteries of how two women - one a hard-working Manhattan hospital clerk, the other a frail Connecticut retiree - contracted inhalation anthrax have raised the specter of the saboteur delivering the lethal doses in person, instead of by mail.

Thanks for the heads up!
I'm wondering if it could be something contaminated inside a sterile container... something that would be delivered to hospitals and doctor's offices... something that would be made and/or delivered nearby IH95 from Chester PA to the elderly lady's doctor's offices or clinics in CT.
That particular trail of infections and suspected infections (and suspicious people) seem to have medical facilities in common. If I were the FBI, I'd be all over the doctor's office, his trash, etc.
Needles, bandages, lab kits, gloves, etc. are in sterile containers and once used are thrown away - thus minimizing the potential for additional contamination.

Thank you for the zip code info. All I could find was pictures with the last two digits cut off.
On the Leahy CT/VT deal? I did correct myself a while back. Sorry! Actually my 18 year old daughter pointed out my error. Duh! Thanks!

If the perp handles anthrax over a long period of time, he would just about have to have been vaccinated. He cant keep taking Cipro forever.

8. Why attack the Enquirer in FL first? Of all the targets available, why choose a relatively benign little tabloid? Why not People magazine? A test? The anthrax that was delivered to AMI was not as finely milled as the Daschle, & Leahy anthrax. Atta lived very near AMI and tried to rent a crop dusting plane near there too. Bob Stevens' editor's wife rented the apartment to Atta.
I think the 2 women who had LITTLE family to speak up for them...were picked out for the NEXT delivery tests. The killers have figured no family to PIPE up to say...gee can this be anthrax??? Two older ladies who die of what looks like pnuemonia... I think the lack of knowing HOW these two deaths of anthrax were delivered is giving the killers....confidence...what ever their knew method maybe it is working.
I believe once they have the confidence they have a knew undectable delivery system of anthrax...they will go out when the flu season is really here upon us and do a mass posioning in a large area.
We saw the testing phase with the tabloids then the FIRST mass delivery to the post offices...I think we are seeing the makings of the second phase.

Thank you so much for the link and the posts!
I agree with you that the perps can't keep on taking Cipro forever - however, I find it verrrry curious that the wife in the Chester, PA was on the drug!
I wonder what names might be on a customer list for anthrax vaccine manufactured exclusively by Bio-Port...

I have to find the picture of the envelope first so I know what zip code to look for

Why did my network TV news on 11-19 explain that Ottillie arrived at the ER driven by a friend - bringing the letter she received that had powder, and that the ER had to call HazMat people to contain the letter - yet now the source of her contamination remains 'a mystery' ???I too heard this story, not from TV but from FR. Someone posted that Agence France Presse reported the story this way.
I checked the AP newswire and found a report that local "resident" -unnamed- had brought the envelope containing powder to this hospital, bringing on a precautionary evacuation of the building.
Never heard any follow-up.

FEDS FEAR KILLER DELIVERED SPORES Jerry Lee Lewis? Naw, unless he was married to the victims!
To: kattracks
--this is around the two dozenth article I've seen, that hasn't even mentioned the possibility of fed ex or ups being a common link. They are concentrating-fixated is more the word, like a dang fetish-on the "US" mail, like nothing else exists that apparently random people have a common contact with. Now maybe the feds can see this and aren't talking, but have yet to see any reporter ask that bone obvious question, either.
just fries my grits it does. just commenting in general, carry on!

Jeepers! I certainly hope pizza delivery guys don't turn bio-terrorist!

This anthrax "thing" doesn't really smell like terrorism. At least not the kind of terrorism they are trying to sell us. I think we need to look at someone who has something to gain....follow the money. It feels more like the West Nile thing. Not many folks die....but just enough to keep people jumpy. Then at some point a threshold is reach and our gov't demands we all get vaccinated. Well I wonder if the anthrax "terrorists" don't really want to kill a large number of folks. But they want just enough to die so that we are all required to get the vaccine at some point. Someone who wanted to terrorize would kill thousands....like 911. So.....I wonder who is set up to make large quantities of anthrax vaccine?

They didnt. Or if they did its wrong. Someone else from another town nearby brought a letter to the hospital after the Lungren story hit the press.
To: kattracks
Gosh this theory is so plausible! Why didn't Barney Fife think of it!!?
An obsessed Arab, who hates America and it's leaders, hand-delivered anthrax to the home of a 94-year-old lady living in rural Connecticut.
Of course this was after he hand-delivered the stuff (keeping real low-key this fellow) to a woman in New Jersey.
And this same group of people expects us to believe they really know bin Laden is at the bottom of all of this? Get real.
