For purposes of this discussion, the definition of bioweapons will exclude injectable poisons – i.e. vaccines and a variety of injectable poisons developed for targeted assassinations. It will focus only on what is claimed by the official bioweapons literature to be in the category of prohibited weapons of mass destruction. One overarching point I want to make clear – while I describe the bioweapons as largely fake, this does not mean these agents are totally benign. They can be problematic or even deadly to some people depending on the total exposure and individual vulnerability. See this excellent post by Dr Mike Yeadon concisely explaining various routes of administration of poisons, and why injections are extremely dangerous.

A good review of the US biological weapons program can be found in the book by Ed Regis “The Biology of Doom”. While the author writes it from the usual fear mongering point of view (because fear porn sells), nevertheless, the book is highly factual. Regis suggests that the bio-warfare agents have not been used because they lack the single most important attribute – violent display of physical force. That’s of course true, but he doesn’t quite get to the heart of the matter – these weapons are extremely weak as weapons but very powerful as a psychological manipulation tool. And as such, it is best to keep it secret while spinning fantasies about its potential: this way nobody can find that it doesn’t work as advertised.
