Tested Biological Warfare On The Whole Of San Francisco

And they were allowed to do this

It sounds like a prime conspiracy theory, and indeed if you type it into Google that’s a lot of what you find, but for a period of at least 20 years, the U.S. army carried out simulated open-air biological warfare attacks

They tested anthrax on the tube back in the 1960s but the trains still got delayed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray Well I'm doomed: "Bacillus globigii, never shown to be harmful to people, was released in San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., and along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, among other places" In the 1950s army researchers dispersed zinc cadmium sulfide (now a known cancer-causing agent) over Minnesota and other Midwestern states to see how far they would spread in the atmosphere. The particles were detected more than 1,000 miles away in New York state. No illnesses were ever attributed to them as a result." Between growing up in '50's Minnesota and driving my rig on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, something's gotta give; but I suspect the DDT

mosquito spraying of my youth was a far greater threat...along with radon in all Minnesota basements.

EDIT: actually the DDT wasn't so bad; a lot of hype;http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-truth-about-ddt-and-silent-spring

If they're going to test vector dispersal methods, they should be doing it over Mexico.

At least, now we know what's wrong with Aktungbby.

No kidding!

My brother has a system in his PA house basement along the Greasy green banks of the Schukyll River. 'Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the general population. The Surgeon General and EPA recommend testing for radon and reducing radon in homes that have high levels. Fix your home if your radon level is confirmed to be 4 picocuries per liter, pCi/L, or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases may be reduced. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.' http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/consguid.html

That thought immediately sprang to mind when I read this thread

In the eighties I was involved (in a very low key way) with tests in controlled areas of 'something or other' but never got to know exactly what it was.

Flu and cold viruses as well during the 1950/60's from what I remember off the radio years ago.

There's been many a nasty thing created in a little old lab in Maryland.

They're always looking for new and creative ways to bug spray an army or its supporting population.

There's a much better place to test these things....
It involves sand.

Glad I don't live near that river.

BTW it's spelled...Schuylkill River, which rhymes with school kill. But, the locals pronounce it skookle

It's not just the military who puts us at risk with questionable 'tests' and 'safeguards'. In the post-WWII US, there was a great polio scare, not to be resolved until the early 1950s with the introduction of the Salk Vaccines. In the intervening period, US chemical industries (those of us old enough remember the slogan "Better Living Through Chemistry") sold various state and local governments on the idea of using various chemicals to try to "cure" the polio problem. The most insidious of those efforts was the very liberal application of DDT, an insecticide now banned in the US and many other countries due its toxicity. DDT was sprayed from trucks driving down the streets, spray the chemical into the air. Here is a newsreel of the time depicting the spraying:

Please note, while we may be able to attribute Aktungbby's present state to biological warfare test exposure, Neal is far too young to have been affected by the Texas DDT spraying shown in the newsreel...

Like Aktungbby, I was a resident of San Francisco (actually born and raised there) and was also present during the time period. Believe me, there were chemical substances with far greater effects abundant on the streets of SF during that time...

Precisely BBY!

I took the cure many times...

You got Vikinged on Hamms

Ya still need DDT to keep the po po... polio off your trail.

"Boy howdy!
That DDT stuff is great for killin skeeters and other small critters It's bound to work on the really nasty bugs we humans git."

"We're from the government and we're here to help you."

The ten scariest words you'll ever hear.

And then there's good old Thalidomide, which helped advance technology in artificial limbs and exoskeletons significantly...

I'd be more worried about the mercury in your fish and chips.
