Jill; RE >> Dr. Smith said. "If anyone came
out positive, that would mean they had had a natural exposure to anthrax or had been vaccinated, which I think would be evidence they had a premeditated
plan to disseminate anthrax."
<<<

Now I don't like the part in bold, as plenty of people
have had a natural exposure by accident who never even
heard of anthrax until recently.
That statement borders on paranoid hysteria.

Down here in Texas we hear of Cattle and dear
killed by anthrax from time to time, & long before
all this started, for all I know I've had the skin
type two or three times ,( by spreading cow manure in my
garden ) I think his statement is nuts.

I also think the anthrax thing is showing up so much
because we are looking for it about 10,000 times
more than we ever did

I'm a lot more worried about someone shipping us
a dirty bomb in a cargo container than I am about getting
anthrax.
