Art Bell interviews Dr. Leonard Horowitz, an authority in public health and bioterrorism, following Senator Patrick Leahy's call to investigate possible links between West Nile virus outbreaks and bioterrorism. Dr. Horowitz presents documentation showing that strains of West Nile virus were shipped from the United States to Iraq during the 1980s, along with multiple shipments of anthrax, raising troubling questions about the origins of current outbreaks.

The conversation covers the anthrax mailings investigation, with Dr. Horowitz identifying specific defense contractors and pharmaceutical companies he believes are implicated. He describes his own visit to the FBI one week before the first anthrax mailing was announced and his subsequent treatment as a potential suspect. Breaking news during the broadcast reveals that West Nile virus can cause acute paralysis and may be transmitted through blood transfusions.

Dr. Horowitz challenges the safety of vaccines, arguing that mercury and other toxic ingredients are linked to rising rates of autism and autoimmune disorders. He contends that pharmaceutical industrialists profit from both creating health crises and selling their solutions, a pattern he documented in his book published three months before September 11th.
