"Fact is no one knows what we are dealing with here. You don't have to be a doctor or a virologist to see that. That goes for the CDC too."

Does anyone remember the CDC telling us that Bob Stevens, the first person diagnosed with anthrax, contracted the disease from drinking tainted water from a stream in North Carolina? I remember vividly.

I'm as skeptical as you when it comes to the CDC reporting the truth.

They never told us that. It was suggested as a possibility very early before more facts were obtained.

If you required everyone in government to refrain from speaking until they knew something definitive, you'd probably accuse them of engaging in coverup or denial.

It was only a suggestion, and a valid one. People do occasionally contract environmental anthrax.
