I think it's far worse than Nuclear and Chemical warfare. It has the ability to affect all life around it whether it's living or dead. It effects are especially long term just from one canister of an airborne contaminant like Anthrax or a Chimera virus. Just one pop of those airborne contaminants, you might just infect the entire continent with a deadly virus. Far worse than nuclear or chemical warfare whose effects and be controlled to a local region or city. Though Fallout from nukes does seem to be a bit of an issue. We've seen Nuclear warfare used in WWII with subsequent nuclear tests following afterwards. We've Chemical weapons be used recently with Syria. Bio weapons were used in a terrorist attack September 18th, 2001. 7 days after 9/11 when Several mailmen carrying letters filled with Anthrax were delivered to Democratic senators. 5 people died and 17 others were infected. In these days and times we might just see someone try to use a Bio weapon again. I wanted to know what you guys thought on the subject and if you thought it were far worse than the other weapons. So what do you think?

All WMD??s in any forms should be banned, to me the nuclear weapons are far worse than bio weapons since there will be cure for it just in matter of time while radiological weapons will change the DNA and cellular structures causing sever mutations for generations to come.
Btw... Don??t buy that ???anthrax?? crap you and the most have been spoon fed with by the US government and its huge MSN propaganda tools, those "fine powders" can be made in military labs ONLY, so far the US and her allies has the technology to produce it.

Biological warfare scares me more than anything else at this point. Just imagine what kind of damage could be done if, say, an aerosol canister of something like Ebola were to be deployed over a metropolitan area like New York City, Los Angeles, or even a smaller city with more lax security like Wichita which has daily airline flights going all over the world.
Or another wave of Spanish Flu.
Anything highly communicable with an incubation period just long enough to infect an R factor of five or more would be devastating.

Stephen King's "The Stand" has always been one of my favorite books.

The US military develops a superflu that escapes and kills over 99% of the worlds population then the story gets kind of silly with the survivors gathering into two groups - good people and bad people and a confrontation between the two.
Still an entertaining read, full of detail and lots of pages.
