Bioterrorism: Part 1: thanks for the article

» desertblue - thanks for the article

I am really looking forward to your series on bioterrorism. I keep wondering which pathogens would lend themselves best to different kinds of harmful intent. Which microbes are most controllable in a war situation? Obviously, the kind of 'Outbreak' scenario (a la the movie) with inhalable ebola is a terrifying thought, but how would another country prevent the spread to their own doorstep in our jet-setting age? Perhaps having a vaccine that no one else has developed would be an answer?

There are so many questions this all brings up in our Brave New World.
