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

Actually, it was not just a suggestion, and not at all valid. People do not contract inhalation anthrax from the environment in this country; never happened before and they knew it. They were far more concerned about avoiding mass hysteria than reporting the facts. Hope they're a bit more straightforward with SARS.
