Comment on Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died
uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months agoWell, the 1984 bioterror attack associated with the Rajneeshee was done with salmonella. The question this raises is if there are any advantages to cultivating it as an assassin’s weapon.
I’m not saying I know it is, only that the two associated deaths make for a pretty amazing coincidence.

Salmonella is not MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). The point I was trying to make is Staph isn’t a good bioterrorism agent. It doesn’t spread like weaponized anthrax, it’s not particularly deadly, and it can’t be spread by food/water like the enteric pathogens. It’s just not suitable or we’d have researched the fuck out of it at USAMRIID.
