Doctor Bug

(under construction) Anthrax took-off as a media-hype rocket 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 astounding alacrity - true heroism - made the connection to Islamic bio-terrorism from the get-go. If it hadn't been for them, we may have never known.

That expert opinion fed the resultant media-frenzy that followed

That then fed the funding explosion, the rise of the THE Science phenomenon

Of course wars galore, to keep the show moving, including the war on privacy, the tightened security net, etc, etc.

Of this heroic trio, Drs Wolf and Abrams were subsequently convicted of running - separate - Oxycontin, purpose-built drug-pushing pharmacies.  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). 

Not saying they're guilty of anything - well apart from the drug dealing - but they were: right there - ground zero - wouldn't you as an investigator wanna rule them out - especially when you know it's domestic terrorism you're dealing with.   There are loads of great firemen, but the fireman as the arsonist is a known thing.  Often their the ones who report it.

Yet, so far, 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 - you'd know that an investigation into the sovereign authority of science experts is not in the interests of the common good.  If was them, i'm not gonna risk destabilizing the system that supports my position at the top. 

 

That's why we made a show of blaming Al Qeuda - then 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
