By the way, what's your "expert's" name? Or are you making him up as well?It seems to me that you are the only one making things up here. I've explained everything I've said, giving links to all or nearly all sources. You may not believe what those sources say, or my interpretation of things, but saying I'm making things up is nonsense and you know it. That "expert" and I discussed things by private e-mails, so his name is not for public consumption.
In message #90 you stated:
Ernesto Blanco started getting sick on September 23. So according to you, he got sick BEFORE the "only" anthrax letter was opened - 2 days before!
I told you where I got my September 28 date from. It's from HERE. Where did you get your September 23 date from? Did you just make it up?
Since you seem to be just sinking lower and lower into personal attacks, I've got better things to do. I may check back in a few hours. Then again, maybe not.

"Since you seem to be just sinking lower and lower into personal attacks, I've got better things to do. I may check back in a few hours. Then again, maybe not."
What's wrong Ed - running away when you are losing the debate? Can't take all these FACTS I keep presenting?
LIke AFIP, and Chris Weis - and Meselson's Sverdlovsk shenanigans? Need I go on?
If you won't give the name of your "expert", then what he he says is completely worthless. Judging from what you printed, he is certianly not an expert on electon microscopy.
I keep asking you to provide evidence that Patrick claims there was no silica coating. You keep dodging the question. Let's face it - you made that one up, didn't you? In fact, there are lots of things that you just seem to make up.
Did I make up Blanco's date?
No Ed, don't judge other people by your own standards. If I had a nickel for every "fact" you have made up in the anthrax case I'd be rich. I was wrong by one day however, it was September 24. This is still one day before your "anthrax letter" got opened, but 5 days after the JLo letter was opened by Stevens - so it fits perfectly with the JLo letter, just like the CDC doctors concluded.
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol7no6/jernigan.htm "On September 24, a 73-year-old Hispanic man, the newspaper mailroom clerk who delivered mail to the patient in Case 1, had onset of fatigue."
And before you start claiming that I am "misinterpreting" this, pay careful attention to Figure 8, where all the OFFICIAL onset dates are tabulated.
Blanco is Case 2 in Figure 8. Do a little arithmetic and you will see that his OFFICIAL onset date is September 24.
But hey, all these CDC doctors are wrong, and you are right - correct?
Oh, and AFIP are also wrong - they totoally screwed up their analysis - they were jusy measuring artifacts - right?
Ed Lake knows better than all these CDC doctors, AFIP scientists, Fort Dterick scientists and EPA scientists. Ed Lake also knows better than all the scientists who reviewed the JAMA paper, the CDC papers and the Science article.
Have I got all that right?
