How could so many people be so wrong about the anthrax attacks of 2001? This
book explains how.
Using published scientific data confirmed via one-on-one
discussions with America's top anthrax experts, this book shows that simple
laboratory mistakes made in the first days of the investigation were leaked to
the media before they could be corrected and led to wild conspiracy theories
which dominated discussion of the case for the next three years. Totally
erroneous information has been accepted as "fact", and attempts to correct the
errors have become accepted as attempts to cover up a conspiracy.
The book shows example after example of how a careful examination of the
available evidence totally disproves popular misconceptions about the case.
Plus, errors by the CDC, the FBI, the New York Department of Health, and other
govenment agencies have never been publicly corrected and continue to mislead
people.
The book provides a careful scientific analysis of the anthrax attacks of
2001. Details about the letters and envelopes are carefully examined. The nature
of the anthrax and how it was handled are carefully studied. Bad information is
traced to its source, and the effect of the errors are carefully documented step
by step. The book lays out detail by detail, fact by fact, as it builds a
description of events that is totally at odds with the way the case has been
depicted in the media.
Filled with fascinating details which often boggle the mind, the book is
intended to make the reader reconsider all prior thinking about the case,
thinking which has been dominated by rumor, speculation, innuendo and baseless
conspiracy theories.
