Military Tested Germ Warfare On San Francisco And Other Major Cities
Military Tested Germ Warfare On San Francisco And Other Major Cities
One of the largest human experiments ever was conducted on unsuspecting residents in the open air of San Francisco. It was the U.S. Government’s own experiment conducted on its own people in 1950.
IFL Science reports [emphasis mine]:
In the wake of World War II, the United Sates military was suddenly worried about and keen to test out the threats posed by biological warfare. They started experiments looking into how bacteria and their harmful toxins might spread, only using harmless stand-in microbes. They tested these on military bases, infecting soldiers and their families who lived with them, but eventually they stepped things up a notch. Disclosed in 1977, it turns out that the U.S. military carried out 239 secret open-air tests on its own citizens.
In one of its largest experiments – called Operation Sea-Spray – the military used giant hoses [and burst balloons] to spray a bacterial cloud of Serratia marcescens and Bacillus globigii, both thought to be harmless bacteria at the time, from a Navy ship docked just off the coast of San Francisco. They wanted to investigate how the city’s iconic fog might help with the spread of bacterial warfare. And spread it did. It’s estimated that all of the city’s 800,000 residents inhaled millions of the bacteria over the next few weeks as they went about their daily lives none the wiser.
S. marcescens, a soil-based bacterium that produces a “bloody” red pigment was used as a proxy for an anthrax attack. Although it was considered benevolent – it can certainly reap death and destruction. In fact, S. marcescens is now one of the most opportunistic pathogens that loves to hang out in hospitals and create sturdy biofilms. Sadly, it latches onto people through urinary tract infections, catheter infections, lung infections and through other hospital supplies used on vulnerable populations. It is now among the top 10 causes of all hospital-acquired respiratory, neonatal and surgical infections.
This bacteria is everywhere. It is now attributed to killing coral reefs via human sewage and causes cornea infections through contact lens cases. It is the reddish-pinkish moldy-looking stuff you see in an unhygienic bathroom or on spoiled food…. read more here: http://www.activistpost.com/2017/06/military-tested-germ-warfare-san-francisco-major-cities.html
