all very interesting PP but I cannot see why you think it means DDD is not going to use it.
"Anthrax antibodies have been found in the North Korean soldier who defected this year."

Well, he has either been vaccinated against Anthrax (why?) OR he has been exposed with the Anthrax germ and been treated.

Either way...it doesn't look to good does it?

The spores can last for decades, but as long as you have been vaccinated......no big deal. BUT if you haven't then Anthrax is an ideal "tool" for the terrorist.
I think it's more likely that STUSA will be a greater threat.
// BUT if you haven't then Anthrax is an ideal "tool" for the terrorist.//

is an absolute disaster unless you wish to make the area uninhabitable for a few hundred years.

anthrax is a g+ bacterium so making a vaccine is easy

Here is an anthrax attack - america
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks

it was what the internet geeks call " a flase flag attack"
( the yanks did it to themselves - chief suspect is Ivins)
Anthrax is naturally occurring, so the fact the defecting soldier has small amounts of it proves nothing. Unless there is intell to corroborate a planned attack, then I would take the story as disinformation.
There were allegations that early in the Korean War, the US used hemical weapons.

// the book ‘The Truth About the Army Noborito Institute’ publushed in Japan revealed that members of a covert section of the Imperial Japanese Army that took part in biological warfare during World War II also worked for the "chemical section" of a U.S. clandestine unit hidden within Yokosuka Naval Base during the Korean War. //

The anthrax spores last thousands of years, so may be evidence of an older crime.

Or......it could just be propaganda. WMD......anyone?

Fender ....... Hair cut....!! hilarious...thanks for making me smile!

"Anthrax is naturally occurring, so the fact the defecting soldier has small amounts of it proves nothing"

True...Anthrax spores and bacteria are naturally occurring but Anthrax as a disease is RARE in humans.
To get circulating antibodies, as this gent did, he must have either been infected with Anthrax OR been vaccinated against it.

One does not just walk through the fields and develop antibodies to Anthrax.

yep "hair cut" is officially in the TTT glossary! well done fender!
Sqad

Over 8 million doses of BioThrax were administered to over 2 million U.S. military personnel as part of the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization program between March 1998 and June 2008. Every member of the military were mandated to be vaccinated.
Being prepared for an anthrax attack is not in itself evidence of an impending offensive strike.
Gromit.....I agree....I didn't say it was in preparation for an Anthrax attack, I was just pointing out the reasons for Anthrax antibodies being found in a N.Korean who had defected.
Why haven’t the public got access to anthrax vaccinations?
Jahulaye, the first reason the public is not given access to anthrax vaccination is that the public are not considered to be at risk of catching the disease. You and the rest of the general public do not fall into that category right now.

A second reason is that anthrax vaccination cannot completely prevent anthrax infection in all people that are vaccinated for some quite complex reasons.

A third reason is that the vaccination regime is very difficult for the general public to adhere to. It's given as three single doses at three week intervals with a fourth dose around six months after the third dose. Then you have to have an annual booster jab. The timing is crucial and it's very difficult to organise vaccination programmes amongst the general public for various reasons - people tend to disappear on holiday or forget the due date etc. Fortunately, the people who are able to stick to the regime are almost always those in the armed forces or work in biological warfare research institutions where the importance of vaccination is drilled into them on an almost daily basis and no excuses are accepted for failure to turn up for the jab.

I know all this as I work in four such institutions for a good number of hours each month on aspects of biological warfare including anthrax and some other far more vicious pathogens.

On a personal note, anthrax vaccine causes the worst local inflammation at the injection site out of all the vaccines they pump into me each year. Some of my colleagues manage to take it in their stride.
Mind you, some people do work in occupations where anthrax remains a very real risk. These include vets, some farm workers, zoo keepers, abbatoir workers, shepherds, carcass disposal workers, leather tanners, and animal renderers amongst others.

If you work in any of those occupations, it's time to discuss it with your GP.
