A major report on Gulf War Illness written by the VA Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illnesses (RAC) was made public on November 17. This is the most important document yet produced on Gulf War illnesses. About 1800 references are cited. The report gets it right about how many have developed the syndrome…
Christian Drosten, a German virologist and wunderkind, signed the (lab origin coverup) Lancet letter, and designed the PCR test for Covid that has been touted by the WHO and used around the world. His PCR test has been challenged by European scientists and physicians. His PhD is said by some to have been faked. How,…
UPDATE: I just learned that in 2008 GSK obtained European regulatory approval to market a so-called “Prepandemic” Vaccine for H5N1 avian flu. This virus is not circulating in humans. The theory behind the vaccine is that if a bird flu virus emerged to cause a pandemic, the GSK vaccine is likely to be somewhat similar to it,…
In that same panel on vaccines, another panelist alleged that vaccines are a low-margin product and a low profit industry. It was said that many companies left the market. That was true once. This is now. There are few companies due to tremendous market consolidation in pharmaceutical companies overall. Prices of vaccines have gone crazy….
As I expected, the UK’s Chris Whitty decided, against the advice of his vaccine advisory committee, to give 12-15 year olds the Covid vaccine. But only one dose, since about 75% of the myocarditis cases occur after the second dose. Who is this Dr. Whitty? Wikipedia says his dad was murdered by the Abu Nidal…

New cases at 165 US universities totalled 1,640 last week. No college students have died. WHO reported total global deaths of 2,837. The MMWR mortality in children report…

It is clear that towards the end of his life, Ivin’s behavior was “approaching madnss”. Alcohol, SSRI inhibitors, ambien, and stress will eventually take almost anyone down. The act of taking one’s own life is in itself extreme behavior (assuming it wasn’t an accident).
But what about Ivin’s behavior throughout his career and specifically, around the time of the anthrax mailings?
The mailing of such material was an extreme act, Ivins would understand the lethality of the anthrax more than most. Yet what we see throughout this time are acts of eccentricity, not homocidal extremism.
Reviewin the new documents released, one sees nothing different from the talk of everyday people. The only difference is Ivins is under a magnifying glass. But have you ever listened…really listened to yourself and others around you ? We all engage in talk that if taken literally could sound just as bad as the FBI makes this out to be. Regarding the threats to co-workers, it is not surprising considering the effects of the medications he was taking. Had he not been on these meds, could have been different.
Bruce was eccentric. His basic good nature is demonstrated by the fact that several of the email names he used were given to him by colleagues in good nature: kingbadger, jimmyflathead. He kidded people and people kidded him. Until the last year or so he was the definition of affable.
Sending himself e-mails doesn’t surprise me at all as he and his coworkers often bantered back and forth over the case – even after they all knew suspicion was on the institute. He was a character, his personality was bigger than life. Clearly, in the last year, the pressures and isolation got to him. I will always remember him as being full of life and good humor. He was a wonderful man and missed by many.
