Doctor Bug

(under construction) Anthrax took-off as a media-hype story when tabloid photographer Bob Stevens from Florida was the first confirmed person murdered by it.

Three doctors from JFK Memorial Hospital diagnosed him, miraculously, actually, within 24 hours.  First Anthrax case in 30 years - but these dudes zeroed in on it with exceptional alacrity - true heroism - made the connection to Islamic bio-terrorism from the get-go.  That then fed the resultant media-frenzy, that then fed the funding explosion, war in Iraq, the war on privacy, tightened security, etc, etc

Of this heroic trio, Wolf and Abrams were subsequently convicted, of running, separate, Oxycontin, purpose-built drug-pushing dispensaries - while the third, Larry Bush, aka Doctor Bug, rode his Celebrity Scientist fame all the way to Covid (ended up heading AZ's - doctored -  push into the US). 

None of the above have ever been questioned in relation to the Anthrax investigation, which is strange. Then again, not.  If your job is a national security - secret higher truths shit - you'd know that an investigation into the rule of science experts is not in the interests of the common good.  That's why we're  looking for Al Qeuda - or Saddam - his factories churning out bio-weapons - or - at worst, not saying it is, but God forbid it's one of our own - in which case must be: a deranged loner acting alone
