I think the short messages in these letters you posted are very telling. They are telling us “you will die”. They are telling us “we have anthrax”. They are telling us “you can’t stop us”. Most importantly, they are telling us to “take our penicillin” - which we have been doing -- by the thousands I might add. Think about thousands of citizens taking cipro unnecessarily - when the major attack occurs the penicillin won’t work. The four people who already died went very quickly. Penicillin given intravenously didn’t even work for them. I think they are way ahead of us and have probably already thought of other ways to disburse the stuff. I believe it will be done discretely on the transportation systems in the big cities.

I've wondered about that too. But would the anthrax bacteria have time to mutate into a penicillin resistant strain? Guess it depends on how long before the "major attack" were to take place.

Also, to be effective, this plan would be dependent on very large segments of the population taking antibiotics. I hope we're not there yet.
