A Possible Amazon Review

The Killer Strain: Anthrax and a Government Exposed by Marilyn W. Thompson HarperCollins; 1st edition (April 1, 2003) The main facts I walked away from this book with were twofold. I read it when it first came to the City Island Library, in New York City, in the Bronx. One: it was made by the same people who brought us the Watergate Scandal (but perhaps failed to bring the second Watergate dweller, Ms. Lewinsky, a resident next to the Doles, to light). Two: C.O.'s or Conscientious Objectors, a Draft Board designation, were used in the human testing to anthrax exposure, and just recently given awards for risking their lives. That also gives some credence to a story of C.O.'s being used in other devious ways to service bomb-sights, perhaps that I was off-handed told by someone who was the first secular objector, perhaps. I live in the Bronx, where Kathy Nguyen did, a Vietnamese immigrant, and one of the anthrax victims. The Washington Post also did a good job of investigating the 1987 "Wedtech Scandal" here in the Bronx too. US military to-be-field-deployed bridges were supposed to be made here and a vast sum of money was embezzled. The Maya Lin designed newspaper recycling plant proposed for the South Bronx, where the US Capitol Dome was forged during the Lincoln Administration was stopped by the prior administration. See "Bronx Ecology: Blueprint For A New Environmentalism". More current anthrax vaccine research is in "Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That's Killing Our Soldiers" by Gary Matsumoto Basic Books
