Biological weapons

the way the Unites States has constructed theirs, with densely populated cities clustered relatively close together, the impact of a biological attack would be devastating. The proximity of millions of humans, as well as the countless pets and animals close by, allows biological agents to spread quickly and relatively quietly throughout a population. These biological agents can decimate thousands of lives before doctors and epidemiologists even realize what is happening, especially if the hospital

is at war with the Colonies on the other side of the Broken United States. Together June and Day run from the Republic to join with the Colonies to save Day’s brother, who sick from the plague and is being experimented by the Republic for a biological weapon. They meet a group of rebels called the Patriots who say they are working for the Colonies, but their intentions prove otherwise. The Patriots won’t give Day and June their help unless they kill the Elector, who poses a greater threat than his

agents can be released in the air, in water supplies, or in food supplies. A benefit for terrorists in using biological agents is that it can be difficult to detect that a biological attack has occurred, and that many disease agents may not cause illness immediately; it may take hours or days for symptoms to appear which helps in the spread of the disease. Another benefit to the use of biological agents is that they are easy and inexpensive to obtain, they can be easily disseminated, and they cause widespread

Live Anthrax Spores The Dugway Proving Ground is a US Military Level 3 biodefence laboratory that was opened in 1942 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was opened after the attack on Pearl Harbour for the purpose of testing chemical and biological warfare weapons. In 2001, after the 9/11 attacks and the anthrax mail attacks it was assigned the task of researching anthrax (Burns & McCombs, 2015). In 2015 it was found that the lab mistakenly shipped live anthrax samples to 52 different labs throughout

(1) Define Biological Weapons, how they work, and implications. A biological attack is the “…intentional release of a pathogen or bio toxin….against humans plants or animals…” (Forest & Howard, 2013, p. 113). These pathogens and bio toxins intentionally released are also known as bioweapons because they can cause economic catastrophe, illness, deaths, fear, and even disruption to normal day practices. There are three different categories of pathogens and bio toxins dependent on the level of threat

Carved mahogany doors swung open silently on brass hinges. A stern-faced cadet greeted Stevens as he entered the Special Collections repository. He nodded an acknowledgement as the archivist thrust a velvet-lined tray toward him. Stevens slid his cell and wallet from inside his coat and deposited them onto the salver. “I’ll need your firearm too, sir.” The stiff curator pointed toward a small bulge near his shoulder. “Yes, of course.” Stevens nodded. With a deft thrust, his SIG SAUER materialized

Food safety has a huge impact in our society, played a role in bioterrorism, how to prevent bioterrorism, and how the FDA can make better improvements in food safety. With food security, the FDA is creating new types of jobs almost every year, developing new tactics for imports, get point across for that the food we eat in precious, history will repeat itself. and what effects can bioterrorism cause the United States. I, gladly, continue through my evidence within the next sentence. Bioterrorism

better protect one’s citizens from the enemy further increases the demands for “better and improved” weapons, which dictate the need for weapons to evolve. The fundamental methods to injure and kill humans and other living creatures have not changed much throughout the years, however, technological advancement in weaponry has allowed for faster killing in greater numbers. There have been many weapons throughout the centuries that require the user to be in close

cancer and breast cancer fatality rates together. Smallpox was the first disease to be eliminated from the world through public-health efforts and vaccination. Smallpox still poses a threat because existing laboratory strains may be used as biological weapons. Approximately one-third of people with smallpox died from the disease. Survivors were scarred for life. If the eye was infected, blindness often resulted.There are new experimental medications that might be effective in smallpox, but these
