Hi all, I just got done with a rather massive grant on prevention of bioterrorism and it has started me thinking. Not so much about the prevention and treatment, I have thought about that enough for a while
, but about how such an attack would actually be initiated. I have also been considering the difficulties and the lack thereof of initiating such an attack. Based on standard epidemiology, the lifecycles of organisms such as smallpox, monkeypox, Y. pestis, etc. I am curious as to other peoples ideas on: 1) the likelyhood of such an attack and 2) the effectiveness.
And no I am not worried about Ashcroft and his secret police coming after me for writing about this online, they already know what I am doing as I have been talking to groups like the CDC and the FDA about it for months. And no, for those in the field and interested, I can not discuss the grant online.
