The Plague Ward

[StCapps]

The bird flu has nothing on MRSA.

Indeed, because the thing about flu is; you can produce a vaccine in relatively short order, but MRSA is a result of antibiotics, the antibiotics are making it stronger all the time, and it is much, much more difficult to produce a whole new antibiotic the way you could with a flu vaccine.

Also if you'll note, most of the deaths from the Spanish Influenza occurred as the result of bacterial infections that occurred after contracting the disease. So even the biggest flu pandemic of all time owes most of it's kill count to bacteria.

So enough of this virus panic ieady SIFCLIFs, bacteria is a lot more troublesome. Y'all need to get over the fact that the term "bacteria" sounds like a more innocuous term than "virus" does, because that has nothing to do with reality.

By the end of the American bioweapons program, the Americans settled on one bioweapon above them all, Staphylococcus enterotoxin type B (SEB), it was the ultimate bioweapon, the Pentagon pretty much dumped all the virulogical, to go to an all bacterialogical program, and even after Nixon formally cancelled the bioweapons program, Fort Detrick continued to work on SEB.

Weaponized SEB, it's the doomsday bug, nothing can stop it, there's no vaccine, genetically modified to be ultra ab resistant, can survive in boiling water, and it's not species specific, it kills everything in its path; the superantigen cytokine bomb, 100% T-cell activation; you'll explode like a water balloon, kids.
