Abstract

Biological Warfare: A New Pentagon Toy?
kemler, Edgar | October 29, 1955 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the biological warfare. This is the dream of William M. Greasy, the U.S. Army's chief Chemical Officer, who virtually says that while atomic warfare might mean two-way suicide, a well-managed BW campaign could mean one-way genocide. BW is nothing more nor less than public health in reverse. That is, while public health strives to make common diseases rare, BW strives to make rare diseases common. Another is botulism, a once lethal kind of food poisoning, which has been virtually eliminated in this country by hygienic meat canning, but which might be revived by sabotage in the canneries.
