Demon In The Freezer

The devil in the refrigerator of Richard Preston is an interesting book that discusses the anthrax terrorist attack after 9/11 attack and the fact that smallpox is a threat to the world from future bioterrorism. This book provides a brief history of smallpox, including epidemic details in 1970 in Germany. This disease was eradicated in 1979 by the World Health Organization's aggressive vaccine program. After the virus no longer treats, the World Health Organization ceased recommending smallpox vaccination.

When Richard Preston started writing a devil in the fridge, I think he was going to talk about that smallpox to that book - it eliminates it based on accident, war or terrorism and revives it potentially It is. However, after anthrax shipment carried out shortly after 9/11 attack, the authors felt the need to incorporate anthrax investigation into his ongoing work. This is just a theory, but you can explain the split personality of the book. The bibliography of this book version only mentioned the struggle against smallpox, but the explanation started with the first anthrax attack and then backed back to the smallpox eradication program 20 years ago. The eradication of smallpox and the history of subsequent discussion and research occupies the rest of the book until the end of the two disease / biological weapons associations.

Richard Preston 's book "The Devil in the Refrigerator" is about the eradication of smallpox and anthrax panic since 9/11. This book starts with an old man with anthrax. Later, a letter wrapping high quality anthrax was sent to the office building of the Heart Senate. Then, in 1978 the theme of the book suddenly changed to eradicate smallpox. The last line of smallpox before failure was Bangladesh, but the last case was UK in 1979. After eradicating smallpox there was a threat of many bioterrorism, and when another letter was sent to the senator, the book goes back to anthrax. The quality of B. anthracis was very high, as it passed through the hole in the envelope, three mailman also died of B. anthracis. I could not find anyone who sent the letter, but I suspect that I have a letter from al-Qaeda or Caucasian male. Most information on this is still classified, so there is no name.

Fortunately, the "devil in the fridge" provides me with a timely opportunity to understand bioterrorism and related concepts - biological warfare, weapons of mass destruction - and so on. This is clearly an urgent task against human burden. In the not too distant future, the threat of nuclear destruction and destruction. But this is the only bioterror problem I have ever had, especially smallpox and anthrax.
