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 these three doctors, we may have never known.

That expert opinion, in turn, 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, ground-zero trio, Drs Wolf and Abrams were subsequently locked-up for managing - separate - Oxycontin, purpose-built drug-pushing pharmacies.  So open to a quick buck - we know that much about em.  

The third, Larry Bush, aka Doctor Bug, did it the smart way - rode his Celebrity Scientist fame all the way to Covid (ended up heading AZ's - doctored trials/push into the US). 

Not saying they're guilty of anything - well apart from the drug dealing - but it's funny how they were: right there - at the coal face - on what turned out to be a case of homegrown terrorism involving the scio-security experts - to get more money ...

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 it's 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 an investigation into the sovereign authority of science experts is not in the interests of the common good.  I wouldn't, if was them, i'm not gonna risk destabilizing the system that supports my position at the top of that.

That's why we made a show of blaming Al Qeuda - then Saddam - his bio-weapons of mass destruction - 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. If you don't believe me, ask Edward Snowden.

Whatever, they weren't investigated, nor were the investigators who didn't investigate - let's move on - stick with what we know ...
