The Rhodesian CBW programme is little known. It formed part of a counter-insurgency campaign during the war of the 1960s-1970s. Very lucky to have spoken with @CrossbowLlc, an expert on this programme. youtu.be/zAdzML31e2I

Happy #ComicBookDay! 💥 #DYK that @maxbrooksauthor partnered with the @BioCommission to write a graphic novel on the history of biological warfare? You can read ""Germ Warfare: A Very Graphic History"" online for free: biodefensecommission.org/germ-warfare/

If you think Russia was sincere about wanting to clarify and resolve concerns at the BWC Meeting, read this - & then compare to the questions posed at the meeting. Can’t tell whether they WANT to telegraph insincerity or are simply extraordinarily inept. undocs.org/bwc/cons/2022/…

Key US points on countering Russian disinformation in the #bio space from @StateISN. This type of activity from Russia was also referenced in my recent @BulletinAtomic article on the potential future outcomes of the #Biological #Weapons #Convention: #post-heading" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thebulletin.org/2022/07/as-bio…

Russia keeps spreading lies about DTRA CTR programs forgetting they were an active participant in the program from 1996-2013. Hear about the former partnership in this video. youtu.be/vbI7qmDi_9M
