Anthrax Vaccine

[Del Arroyo]

So, what do you all think about the anthrax vaccine? Not really trying to start a debate here, but that time is a-comin', so if any of you have any knowledge or insight I would be interested.

Doubt you can have a vaccine to prevent spores from destroying your lungs....

Even if there is, there are many forms and variations of Anthrax. Most of us breath anthrax daily, pick up a handful of soil you'll find it there. Farms are filled with it, food has it on it. It will only hurt you in large concentration of spores being breathed in, something I doubt a vaccine could prevent you from doing, or prevent from causing harmful side effects. The human bodies immune system already is very strong against anthrax also.

Anthrax vaccine has been around a long time.

Anthrax, as a weapon, is pretty damned inefficient, you need to inhale approximately 10,000 spores in order to get a lethal dose. The crowd that did the nerve gas attack on the Japanese subway dumped a few boxes of spores out of an apartment window in Tokyo, the wind blew it all to hell and nobody got infected. The authorities only found out about it after the subway attack when some of the members started blabbing on about it.
