Tularemia as a biological weapon

It was viewed as an attractive agent because:

it is easy to aerosolize,

it is highly infective; 10-50 bacteria are required to infect,

it is nonpersistent and easy to decontaminate (unlike anthrax),

it is highly incapacitating to infected persons,

it has comparatively low lethality, which is useful where enemy soldiers are in proximity to noncombatants, e.g. civilians

can you see the irony……we are working our ass off to kill these bugs.At th same time some weirdo working in one lab is making bio weapon.
