The year is 2025, and the US of A has an ongoing #measles outbreak.

The failure of the US isn't just the half of anti-intellectual terrorists, but also the other half upholding a system of government that allows the terrorists to win... Perhaps permanently.

What is BioWatch and why is it offline? [Scoop.]

A bioterrorism surveillance program rolled out in 2003 was paused suddenly yesterday. Here's what that means.

My last paper for my master's was a stepwise description of how I would perform a chemical or biological attack. My analysis showed agricultural #bioterrorism as the most logical choice. I'm sure if I'd written that paper in my daily work, it would've been classified. But it was just an academic effort which I didn't share with my employer 🤷 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/04/potential-agroterrorism-weapon-fungus-smuggled-into-us-by-chinese-scientists-fbi-alleges

38c3:BioTerrorism Will Save Your Life with the 4 Thieves Vinegar Collective

We all know that custom, hand-made, artisan-crafted, boutique tools are always better than something factory made. A guitar, a wood chisel, a chef's knife, a built racing engine, a firearm, a suit, a pair of shoes. Given that this is so well-known...

Abstract
Records suggest Bacillus anthracis was used in biowarfare during World War II, but evidence remains limited. We isolated B. anthracis from soil at the remains of a World War II–era laboratory in China. Phenotypic and genomic analyses confirmed the finding, highlighting the value of microbial forensics in biothreat investigation.
