This particular case wouldn't be noteworthy, except for the fact that a few months after 9/11 there were constant anthrax threats all over the news. We've been conned into thinking that anthrax=terrorists. The threats were likely planted by American opportunists. We've also been conned into thinking that anthrax=instant death. Notice how Diomande is recovering just fine. We've also been conned by big pharma that Cipro is the only cure for anthrax, when actually penicillin works just as effectively against anthrax. Notice you didn't see any pharmacists hoarding Cipro four years ago.</p>
