THE FUTURE OF WAR
PANDEMICS, PESTILENCE AND BIO ENGINEERED WEAPONS
HOW MANY DRONES WOULD IT TAKE TO DELIVER
A VIRUS OR BIO WEAPON?
HOW MANY COULD THEY KILL? AND WHY?
Could a Virus Rewrite Your DNA?
But what about the genetics claim in "The Transformation," that the virus mutates the host's DNA
to change its host into monsters? There is a speck of real science in there, says Harvard University
virologist Donald Coen. Retroviruses, the class that includes HIV, use the DNA in their host cell to
replicate, then leave behind their genetic information in the host. "There are lots of examples in
animals," he says. And Coen says it is possible to manipulate retroviruses. Some scientists hope
to use them as a vehicle to get genetic material into cells, he says, by piggybacking the useful
material onto the virus and then allowing the virus to copy its genetic material into the cell.
However, that kind of research is in early stages, Coen says. And though Peter Bishop says during
"The Transformation" that a person would need to know cutting-edge genetics to create the killer
virus, Coen says the Fringe scenario is far past the real capabilities of current genetic engineering-
-no virus could rewrite your entire genetic code.
Finally, this week, Fringe might have put to bed--at least for a while--one of our favorite bits of
suspect science: the memory tank. Agent Olivia Dunham had some of her former partner John
Scott's memories transferred into her own mind, and in previous episodes she's gone back in the
tank to seek more answers from him. This happens again in "The Transformation," but at the
conclusion Walter Bishop says her mind has expelled the last of Scott and her brainwaves are
back to normal. So hopefully Dunham won't have to stick electrodes to her forehead and get back
in the water anytime soon. Could a Designer Virus Turn You Into a Monster?

Microscopic Weapons
There are a variety of microorganisms that can be used as biological weapons. Agents are
commonly chosen because they are highly toxic, easily obtainable and inexpensive to produce, THE PDF LIVE NOTES FOR THE RAGGED EDGE RADIO BROADCAST WORLDWIDE By Russ Dizdar © 10
easily transferable from person to person, can be dispersed in aerosol form, or have no known
vaccine.

Whether or not someone believes these conspiracy theories, it is instructive to consider whether
the SARS-CoV-2 virus would make a so-called “good” biological weapon. Many countries around
the world (including the United States, Iraq, former Soviet Union, United Kingdom, Japan, and
Canada) used to have biological weapons programs, and some others (China, North Korea, and
Iran) are suspected of continuing to develop biological weapons.
Biological warfare involves the use infectious pathogens or toxins from living organisms to cause
death or disability in humans, animals, or plants. Deployment of a weapon can range from
something as simple as contaminating an adversary’s water source with feces or a dead carcass,
to spraying a highly sophisticated engineered pathogen across a battlefield. Although we often
consider humans as the targets, bioweapons can also be employed with devastating economic
effects on animals or plants. Just imagine the potential impact from wiping out an adversary’s pig
production or wheat fields on its ability to feed its army. More here
