Military Ships Live Anthrax By Mistake - Emerald Grant

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/27/politics/live-anthrax-us-military-sent-inadvertently/index.html

  As the title showed, live anthrax was shipped by mistake, by the military who said it was suppose to be dead. If you may not know, anthrax is a very rare but highly dangerous disease, and to have samples of live anthrax being shipped is highly dangerous and could cause an epidemic if exposed to many. It effects the skin and lungs of many cattle and sheep but could be exposed to people too. 22 people that were handling it were exposed, although they say that non have shown signs to exposure.
  As you also may know, biowarfare, or germ warfare, is the use of disease and illness as a form of weaponry, in the past we've had incidents where biowarfare has been used, including anthrax. This may be used to cause a genocide like effect and kill many many people.
  This article was written to give a warning of a flaw in our military but not to pick at them. It's a large problem that was caused by a small mistake of misreading. The author most likely wrote this to give a warning of whats in the mail and what comes from where.
