>The US Congress has backed an amendment to the 2020 US Defense budget which could force an investigation into allegations that the Pentagon had weaponized insects, including ticks, in a secret program.>Rep. Christopher Smith (R-New Jersey), co-chair of the House Lyme Disease Caucus, asked a series of hard-hitting questions about the alleged ‘bioweaponization’ program and its potential side-effects, including the possible spread of a bacterial infection. >“Americans have a right to know whether any of this is true,” Smith said in a news release. “And have these experiments caused Lyme disease and other tick-borne disease to mutate and to spread? Who ordered it? Were any ticks released by design?”https://www.rt.com/usa/464293-congress-investigate-pentagon-weaponize-ticks/Anyway, can we have a bioweapons thread? What are some other bioweapons that russians and the US have devised?
